You are so generous to share him by giving him away!<br /><br />Your trip to Corning makes me think of the practice that Julia Cameron of The Artist's Way recommends, filling the well. When I have gifted myself with a visit to an art exhibit or museum, I come home with a sparkly energy that always gives me a creative surprise! One of my favorites has been making cloth dolls stuffed with special rocks, which came to me after seeing / being moved by the "Venus of Willendorf" and similar prehistoric sculptures.<br /><br />When new creations come out of this "flow" you just know it's the energy of the universe moving in you. And even though it may not make sense, it always feels perfect!Vicki Schroederhttp://www.affirmingcreativity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-14186191941835113642009-06-17T19:52:25.370-04:002009-06-17T19:52:25.370-04:00Hi Rupa,

The last serendipitous creation was when I sat down to create a muslin pillow sashay for a challenge and walked away from the sewing machine with an adorable tiny tote I made by printing the front and back of a vintage Paris post card on the muslin then attaching the strap with wire wrapped beads :) Much more cute then any sashay that's for sure!!<br /><br />Pattie ;)<br />Mazatlan MxThe Joy of Nestinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16555028211041954641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-83014969126767128262009-06-13T15:30:54.898-04:002009-06-13T15:30:54.898-04:00Hi Gail!

I've taken yogi for the past 11 years and you know what they say, you don't come to yoga because you're curious, you come because you've done it before. ;-) <br /><br />Here's hoping all of us have a creative surprise spring forth from our studios! I can't think of any wish better!<br /><br />Namaste,<br />CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-74644910857996976332009-06-13T15:24:06.732-04:002009-06-13T15:24:06.732-04:00Hi Joann,

I have a sculpture of five elephants in my yoga studio. They are walking, single file holding the tale of the one in front of them with their trunk. My husband had a gold ring made for me with an elephant that I wear everyday. <br />My creative surprise is not one single event. It happens every time I have the courage to try something new.

With the color and the decoration, he's got the right Hindi feel. <br /><br />Almost everything I do with beads is a creative suprise LOL. I don't map out what I'm doing carefully. I pick one constraint...stitch, color, shape, and then work from there. <br /><br />I'm currently working on the Use the Muse competition piece. I'll finish the main focal piece before I decide what else to do.Joann Looshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094817566731313731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-79099736473361124232009-06-13T11:55:52.740-04:002009-06-13T11:55:52.740-04:00So excited I won last week - thank you so much!So excited I won last week - thank you so much!peacockfairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146229719855348612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-2141370751288406632009-06-13T11:28:10.577-04:002009-06-13T11:28:10.577-04:00Hi Cindy,

My husband and I love elephants, and have even chosen an elephant orphanage in Kenya as one the charities we donate to.<br /><br />One of my best creative surprises was the hexagonal beaded beads I made a few years ago. I wanted to make beaded triangle drop beads. When I tried, I noticed that the triangle looked sort of small on its own, but then I added another triangle and had a hexagon. It was completely unplanned, but I loved the results.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184028222045287615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-32083424669324353382009-06-13T11:13:33.356-04:002009-06-13T11:13:33.356-04:00Hi Gaela,

I love, love love this bead! It seems that a lot of my best beads happen as "suprises" I make my beads with many various mediums. Polymer clay, paper, seed bead beads, hemp seed beads, dried flowers and other items from the woods that I live in. My best beads are usually when I combine these mediums~When I get lucky, I end up with a truly unique and organic center piece!gaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808941606042381327noreply@blogger.com
