Do we recover from losing a passion or do we go on to find a new one?I used to have a 'passion' for chewing newspapers - truly!..I tore off corners and chewed them up and ate them when I was little!
(hmm...do you think I was genetically programmed to become a writer?)
I'm sure my mother was relieved and heartily grateful when I Lost that Particular Passion -
so..
In my case, some passions are meant to be lost ( ie eating newsprint) and some are meant to be found; such as taking this Vision Journal Workshop!
Can you believe it's been six weeks? (actually more as I took a bit of time off this summer); still in the main, I continued to think and visualize and create with those weekly prompts.
And guess what happened?
I found and recovered and discovered a new passion for my creative side that did NOT involve a keyboard, but one in which I actually uncovered my old passion for paper folding.
I used to do a lot of Origami and it was wonderful to find directions to make cards with crazy pop ups or my current favourite; hidden pockets!
Check out this site from SplitCoast Stampers for a great tutorial on making them:
Double Pocket Cards!
Since I will be on the ferry this week for another 2 hour ride to the mainland, I have decided to take along my art supplies and do a 'Stuck-Tag Book.' (or what to do when you are 'stuck')
I will post a picture of that when I complete it.
Speaking of Tags leads me nicely into ATC's and the Soul Journal ATC swap which certainly was a Passion of Participation for me!
Here is what I did with all that wonderful ArtWork that was sent to me - Thank you all, my Soul Journal artists! (Enlarge and see if you can pick yours out!)
Blessings of Abundant Creativity!Shanti
