The Faces of Creativity

I love to think of myself as a creative person.  I feel that I do have a creative soul.  For me creating is a "need" more than a hobby. I have a need to make things whether it is useful, or just because I can.  My need to create started when I was young - I think in the pre-adolescent years.  Certainly in my teen years I always wanted to make things.   This has continued in my my current "senior/elder" years.  
Over the years I have used my skills to make things for myself as well as for many other folks.  
So, today you are going to see some photos of me.  I will either be near or wearing one of my creations in each of these photos. 



A T-shirt embellished with a band of fabric that I wove on my loom.



Holding a lap quilt that lives with one of my dearest friends.  I love seeing it when I visit.

A vest made totally from material that I wove on my loom. 

Here I am wearing a shirt that I embellished with more of my woven fabrics.
I am standing in front to two pieces of art that I painted. 

And how about "creating a character" in a local play? 
By the way, I did NOT drink the elderberry wine. 
And in the play I had to use a product to make my hair that white.  Ha ha. Now that is the usual color.

For this same play, we needed a "stained glass window" for the door. So, I created this one. 
It is actually painted and created on a piece of plexiglass.  
I made two of these, one for each side of the door so that when the door was opened, 
the audience saw the "same" stained glass. 

I am linking to the Friday Face Off.




Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative
