creativity

Creativity enriches you


Creativity is separate from the real world for you. But it’s a magical world in which you like to immerse yourself. When you’re involved in it, you get the wonderful sensation that there are no limits, that anything is possible. What you are really looking for is harmony — you want to feel you are a part of what you create. Planting flowers, writing poetry, embroidery or putting together a photo album, these are all suited to your sort of quiet creativity. You want to fall in love with what you create. You also think of creativity as a part of you in which you can take refuge and feel protected. As the psychoanalyst D Anzieu explained, creativity acts as an ‘encouraging parent — loving, enriching and supportive’. You would love to use your creativity to retreat into a world that is kind and reassuring. For you, being creative means having the chance to become one with what you create, bathe in the glory of it and allow yourself to be taken over by it. This is why you seem more suited to the sort of creativity that calls for gentleness, subtlety, harmony and patience.

take the test

It's true I must say!
Spent time yesterday making goodies!

These lovely soft and light organza and tulle flowers! Which are now for sale in my Etsy shop here

I was a bit nervous making them as you have to burn the edges over a flame, but I must say, I came away unscathed, and my house is still standing! And I was surprised at how easy they are, fun and rewarding! I can think of scrap booking, hair accessories(my dd is already after one for her alice band! as I make her accessorize her hair bands myself!)



Some teeny tiny little felt buntings....perfect for craft projects and scrap book layouts.
