No strings! Wow!!
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If you create art and no one is around to appreciate it, is it really art?
We all create for different reasons, but do those reasons impact the way we feel about what we do?
This interesting article explores these questions and gives a bit of thoughtful insight into the reasons we create.

Blocked! Words are not spilling onto the page; color choices elude you; you can’t embody the character you’ve been chosen to portray. Simply put, you’re stuck! It’s not the first time you’ve been stuck and certainly not the last if you’re a creative being. In your stuck-ness you beat yourself up, and often others, in your frustration and anxiety over your creative blocks. You worry that you may not have another creative thought, an inspired moment, ever again! Your life will be over! Argh!! And you resist your stuckness only to give your power over to it allowing the struggle to grow large blocking your vision, your expression, your talent, your gift to the world. Double ArrrggghhhH!!!

Enjoy this beautiful purse project from Thr3fold.
