"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while." - Steeve Jobs
"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." - Carl Gustav Yung
The picture on a stand that I've used in this composition is Chinese hand-made silk embroidery. Have you ever seen such a beautiful painting on a piece of silk satin? Just imagine embroidering such a delicate fugure with the threads and needles! But such an exquisite embroidery has been one of China's most famous art forms for many centuries. The first response people normally have when they see Chinese silk embroidered pictures (embroidery picture, needle painting or thread painting as some people would call) is that they don't believe they are hand embroidered.
Chinese embroidery paintings are well known for its rich colors comparable to an oil painting and realism comparable to photography.
To create a high quality piece, an artist needs to split a single silk thread into several thinner threads and embroider layer after layer with threads of a variety of colors to reach the final wonderful effect. One top quality silk embroidery work usually uses millions of silk threads of hundreds of different colors, taking more than one year to complete.

Studies of the day:
Men are wrong in what they think themselves free, a belief that consists only in this, that they are conscious of their actions and ignorant of the causes that determine them.
Les hommes se trompent en ce qu’ils se croient libres, opinion qui consiste en cela seul qu’ils sont conscients de leurs actes, et ignorants des causes qui les déterminent.
( Baruch Spinoza, Eth. II-35, scolie )
Just as monstrous and mutant algae invade the lagoon of Venice, so our television screens are populated, saturated, by ‘degenerate’ images and statements. In the field of social ecology, men like Donald Trump are permitted to proliferate freely, like another species of algae, taking over entire districts of New York and Atlantic City; he ‘redevelops’ by raising rents, thereby driving out tens of thousands of poor families, most of whom are condemned to homelessness, becoming the equivalent of the dead fish of environmental ecology.
De même que les algues mutantes et monstrueuses envahissent la lagune de Venise, de même les écrans de télévision sont saturés d’une population d’images et d’énoncés "dégénérés". Une autre espèce d’algue relevant, cette fois, de l’écologie sociale consiste en cette liberté de prolifération qui est laissée à des hommes comme Donald Trump qui s’empare de quartiers entiers de New York, d’Atlantic City, etc. pour les "rénover", en augmentant les loyers et refouler, par la même occasion, des dizaines de milliers de familles pauvres, dont la plupart sont condamnées à devenir "homeless", l’équivalent ici des poissons morts de l’écologie environnementale.
( Félix Guattari, Three Ecologies, 1989 )

Poem of the day:
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
. . /. .
Et la mort n’aura point d’empire,
Les morts, nus, se verront unis
À l’homme dans le vent et à la lune d’ouest ;
Leurs os, rongés à blanc, leurs os blancs disparus,
Ils auront, coude et pieds, des étoiles pour lest ;
Ils seront sains d’esprits, bien que fous devenus,
Bien qu’immergés en mer, rejaillissant du bas ;
Si meurent les amants, l’amour, lui, ne meurt pas,
Et la mort n’aura point d’empire.
. . /. .
( Dylan Thomas - Twenty-Five Poems, 1936 )

Featuring a 38,082 pieces LEGO Artwork! Set atop a wooden board made out of LEGO tiles, as well as stationaries and tabletop decorations to emphasize the creative aspect of the artwork. The abtract design in the center does not imply a distinct message, but designed to invoke the flow of thoughts, ideas, concepts, and imaginations that run through our minds everyday!
Notes: The work done here is not desgined to be a actual LEGO structure, but more of an art form. Though there are no illegal building techniques going on here, not every part is actually attached to another brick. Some plates are just placed down and balanced because of certain limitations, but mostly for the sake of design.
ps: Everything you see in the image is made purely out of LEGO element. Enjoy. (It also made it as a runner up :D)
I photographed this clock face some time ago and have used it in other designs...well, the overall design potential just keeps on ticking in my head....like creativity itself.
The city overflows with creativity. Forged by traditions and customs, the city of Oaxaca is also defined by its inventive capacity, reflected in its streets, in art, and in its gastronomy. Knowing its challenges and challenges, Oaxacans have become dynamic thinkers, creators and actors of projects that bring unity and resilience to the city.
Here's to more creative thinking in 2013! I pulled into my driveway one evening and saw this weed in an entirely new way. Perhaps as a photo to illustrate the idea to "Eat Local?" Maybe not quite THIS local, though.
The Red Dot Design Museum is located at 28 Maxwell Road. Established in November 2005, the museum is a showcase for innovative product design as well as an event and exhibition venue.
The second Red Dot Design Museum in the world, the museum is the anchor tenant in the former Singapore Traffic Police Headquarters, a colonial-era building that was converted into a creative hub known as Red Dot Traffic. The building was given conservation status by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in 2007.

Etude du jour:
Par attribut, j’entends ce qu'un Univers dans lequel une substance émerge, perçoit et/ou conçoit de cette substance comme constituant son essence.
Par classe, j’entends l’ensemble des substances semblables d’un Univers en tant qu’elles partagent les mêmes attributs. Par suite, j’entends par classe, la base d’attributs qui caractérise cet ensemble.
Par métaclasse, j’entends la base d’attributs qui caractérise un ensemble de classes. À ce titre, une métaclasse est toujours une classe ; alors que l’inverse n’est pas toujours décidable.
Par instance, j’entends une occurrence singulière, dans un Univers donné, d’une substance (resp. d’une classe) qui actualise les attributs d’une classe (resp. d’une métaclasse).

Someone got creative and put a Daffodil in this group of Rhododendron flowers. It looks great even in the rain.

Study of the day:
Plus abstraite est la vérité que tu veux enseigner,
plus tu dois en sa faveur séduire les sens.
More the truth you want to teach is abstract,
more you have to seduce the senses for it.
( Friedrich Nietzsche - Par-delà le Bien et le Mal )

L'activité paranoïa-critique est une force organisatrice productrice de hasard objectif.
The paranoiac-criticist activity is a force organizer and producer of objective chance.
( Salvador Dalí -
La conquête de l'irrationnel - Editions Surréalistes 1935 )
__________________________________________________
Un lion poursuit un cheval. Il n’y a pas de temps abstrait, il n’y a pas d’espace abstrait, ..., il y a quelque chose d’imprévisible. Est-ce que le lion va avoir le cheval ? Si le lion a le cheval, c’est avec des bonds de lion. Et si le cheval s'échappe, c’est avec son galop de cheval.
Que nous dit Bergson ?
Que ce sont des mouvements qualitativement différents. Ce sont deux durées différentes. L’une peut interrompre l’autre, l’une peut s’emparer de l’autre ; elles ne se composent pas ... avec une quantité abstraite déplaçable dans un temps homogène. Tous les mouvements se divisent ... mais ils ne se divisent pas suivant une unité commune homogène et abstraite.
A lion pursues a horse. There is no abstract Time, there is no abstract Space ... there is only something unpredictable. Does the lion will get the horse ? If the lion has the horse, it is with his lion bonds. And if the horse escapes, it is with his horse gallopings.
What Bergson tells us?
That these are qualitatively different movements. These are two different durations. One can interrupt the other, one can steal the other, but they do not consist ... in an abstract shift in a uniform time. All movements can be divided ... but they do not follow a common uniform abstract duration.
( Gilles Deleuze - Université Paris 8, cours du 10/11/1981 )

I spent an afternoon at my mom’s the other day and browsed through her large stock of buttons, ribbons and old lace. A gold mine for a craft enthusiast! This is part of what I came home with. :-)
Blogged here:
« If you appreciate my work and would like to support me becoming an independent photographer, become a Patreon supporter at www.patreon.com/alexdehaas, or buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/alexdehaas :) »
A tornado of creativity hit my craftroom in the last few weeks! I will be re-organizing and cleaning it this week :o)
BEAUTY LIES OFTEN IN THE DETAIL.
Love often shown most in the 'little' attentions and gestures!
Ain't that the truth?
They are very showy flowers!
Pink lilies stand for wealth and prosperity, but are seen as a symbol of youth and acceptance, as well. Also, their appearance may lead our thoughts to feelings of hope and aspirations.
In this dreary season, a dash of colour and fragrance can do wonders!
I have another agenda when I buy them... I just know I'll photograph them, cannot resist! I MAKE time!
And each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something. And earlier when I saw my daughters beads it hit me :) and I had the hunch.
I wish you could buy creativity in a glass, or well maybe not buy it (then it wouldnt be a gift anymore), just when it comes that you could bottle it up and use it later.
I find myself with images going through my head all the time, but do i have the time to go create those pictures then? of course not :) So thats why occasionally you can find me running through the house like a crazy person, and everybody knows..mommy's got a hunch :)

Land claimed from the sea. That is what we Dutch do well. And then we apply our rulers to put the new land to good and efficient use. Add some soft light though and the green mathematical landscape becomes a delight from above.

Etude du jour:
Par sidération, j’entends le processus par lequel l’homéostasie d’une Monade peut-être paralysée durablement, voire fatalement, par l’impact d’une in-formation issue de son milieu extérieur, quand cette in-formation est telle que la Monade ne peut en évaluer le poids bon Δ mauvais (au regard de ses affects), ni ne peut en évaluer le poids vrai Δ faux (au regard de ses concepts, soit qu’ils soient déficients, inadéquates, etc., soit qu’ils soient multiples mais contradictoires, incohérents, discordants, etc.)
Par suite, par sidération j’entends également l’état dans lequel cette Monade est forcée à son insu, paralysée, tétanisée, pétrifiée, etc., tant qu’elle ne rencontre pas une opportunité d’en sortir, que ce soit par sa propre puissance ou par des puissances issues de son milieu extérieur, en particulier de son habitus.
( jef safi - Monadologie, sidération )

Lego 10709 Orange Creativity Box builds. These are the builds in the instruction book. There are also pictures of other builds you could make. I will most likely be scavenging from this for other projects. There are three other Creativity Boxes available in blue, red and green.
