Create Creative

I've been getting in touch with my creative side lately, and it has been good for me. I feel like I've never been that artistic, but always wanted to be. I dream I am a painter, living in a faraway land. Or a talented knitter making little booties for the children I love. Or an amazing potter. Spending hours on my wheel, creating perfect little coffee cups.

I really love to paint. Watercolors are the coolest thing ever. The way you can blend them, marrying the colors together so you can't tell where one started and the other ended. It can be like painting your emotions into one, and then getting to see it there in front of you. So raw.
What I've been doing is painting my emotions out, making a mess which is always therapeutic, then collaging and writing over the paints. Probably sounds weird, but I've seen other people do it, and I only wish I could be that cool.

Also, I made this book.....
Instructions coming soon....
