We need those to complete some tasks, but that's all they are -- tasks with directions that anyone could do. I think that fulfilling an urge to create something requires absolute freedom. As long as we are loving people, contributing to society, not breaking any laws, and not hurting anyone, I think plunging into being as free as our spirits will allow is majorly important. It shows in your art, Penny, and perhaps that's one of the reasons it always touches me so much.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621581899286806108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-21314446207009544192011-08-23T11:12:59.002-04:002011-08-23T11:12:59.002-04:00Using someone else's patterns is a great way i...Using someone else's patterns is a great way in to all sorts of crafts for people who are new to them, or nervous. Only some people develop the interests or the skills to move on to creating their own pieces. Congratulations - not only on the achievement, but on the realisation of the new stage that you have reached.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-1531116230999904602011-08-22T13:40:09.054-04:002011-08-22T13:40:09.054-04:00Penny, you don't know how many times I said ye...Penny, you don't know how many times I said yes, yes, yes, while reading this post. Just last week I was having a conversation with *our* favorite bead mentor about this very same topic...the "paint by numbers" approach to creating. We sort of came to the conclusion that those of us who get supercharged by working "improvisationally" are the very same ones who couldn't finish all those paint by numbers projects as kids - we just got bored and moved on to something else. I bet that happened to you ;>}<br /><br />Like Chris just said, you're on a new path...love every step. Good words! and you already know how much I am taken with your own special designs...<br /><br />ChristiSweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-13440601323514496162011-08-22T10:30:09.833-04:002011-08-22T10:30:09.833-04:00You're on a new path Penny!
