This build was calling for some heavy editing so I made several attempts until I was pleased with the result.
Please enjoy!
Taken last August in Maroochydore, somewhere in a quiet street. This creative Retro shop was where we enjoyed a quiet coffee. I love to see the creativity of people using what was once old (in this case I think a garage) and turning it into something humming with life again
"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.

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 find solace and creativity and great expanse when I turn inside and think and explore my internal world. It is my nature, it is the nature of being an introvert. I find no fault with it. I accept the alone part and find happiness within it. But I don't take my happiness for granted. Because I don't exist only within my world. There are others and I can only really, truly be happy when others are happy. Hence my eternal and unconditional love (in the face of however unrequited it may be) of the world and its people. However ugly they may act. Because that ugliness is learned. And it can be unlearned. So, I turn in to find my beauty. And when I find it, I capture it. And when it is captured, I share it (photos, words, gestures, and especially what I teach my children). And hopefully it helps others look past their ugly, and turn inside, and find their beauty, and share it. And be happy. Because that will make me happy.
Alone in the ongoing moment, and the ongoing moment is always beautiful...
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.
Chronicles of Lifting Light
There is a certain daring “edge” in acting out a role-playing game on a partner(s) in public, especially if (in our case) one favors Jewel thievery Games.
It’s a certain adrenaline thrill, both addictive and desirable, that increases up until the “mark” is relived of one or more of her dangling valuables.
Whether its carried out with a simple bump, a lift conveyed while, say dancing, or a squeeze play maneuvered with a second player, with the intention of pickpocketing the jewels they wear, or more subtle games of trickery or simple robbery, it all creates and holds a level of excitement most thrilling in its nature, quite erotic within its scope.
These Chronicles contain short essays on pickpocketing and thievery games played solely within our group over the past few years.
These were games only, done with full knowledge and consent of all the players (with a couple of exceptions where the parties involved were not informed of the actual happenings until sometime after the fact.)
Any articles of jewelry lifted or “Stolen” were returned to their original owners, albeit sometimes those owners at first thought the jewelry being returned had just simply fallen away.
The actual facts have been stretched, padded, and enhanced, due primarily to the significant detail that I rather like those in my immediate circle, and in order to keep them liking me, have agreed to “put meat on the bone” so to speak when putting pen to paper.
These Chronicles far from complete, and additional stories will be added as they are played out.
The Game...Rory's Husband
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 )

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. :-)

A tornado of creativity hit my craftroom in the last few weeks! I will be re-organizing and cleaning it this week :o)

This has become a little series, huh? :P
I guess you can all guess what is on the picture... You know where the bokeh comes from :P
And you know what?
I'm not doing anything today... I'm just gonna sit in my PJ´s and do NOTHING!
Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!
(Another Don Draper slide, this quote is from a recent episode.)
I laughed out loud when I heard this one and it's so true. Creativity can be encouraged, sure, but it can be very difficult to force. Sometimes you just have to fuck around until creativity strikes.

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 :)
a camera toss, mirrored and colourized. I quite like the result but as I prefer not to alter my uploads much I'm just not sure. The original is here
Anyway, film night, and I went to see Thérese Desqueyroux, a period drama set in provincial France in the 1920s. The heroine, if we can call her that, seems destined to a dull, if wealthy, existence, partly because of the limits of her country set, but mostly because of her thrawn nature which represses her discontent rather than expresses it. Audrey Tautou plays the lead with such cold aloofness and with hardly a flash of her winning smile that it's difficult to sympathise with her character, or the family that surrounds her. Looks great but ultimately quite dull 3/5
Corpus Christi 2007 - Sitges, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
For the festivity of Corpus Christi, every year it is celebrated a contest of carpets of flowers in the streets of Sitges, in which people, groups and schools participate. The used materials usually are petals of carnations, grass, earth, coffee, bran of rice and other types of flowers. Also some balconies are specially arranged.
------------------------
CASTELLANO
Para la festividad de Corpus Christi se celebra cada año en las calles de Sitges un concurso de alfombras de flores, en que participan personas, colectivos y escuelas. Los materiales empleados suelen ser pétalos de claveles, hierba, tierra, café, salvado de arroz y otros tipos de flores. También se engalanan algunos balcones.
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.
I came across a set of Halloween photos from a couple of years ago 🎃
They were wearing sunglasses and straw hats, pretending to be “ghost mother and child” 👻
We laughed so hard our stomachs hurt, while still trying to keep that “mysterious vibe”

Etant donné un étant quelconque, qui apparaît dans un monde, nous appellerons phénomène de cet étant le système complet d'évaluation transcendantale de son identité à tous les étants qui co-apparaissent dans ce monde. L'indexation transcendantale est la clef du phénomène comme système infini d'identifications différentielles.
Considering any being, which appears in a world, we will call phenomenon of this being the complete transcendantal evaluation system of its identity to all beings who co-occur in this world. The transcendental indexing is the key of the phenomenon as differential identification infinite system.
