Creativity - being creative and imaginative in their thinking and in their approach to problems and dilemmas
"I am CREATIVE. I use my imagination in all sorts of situations."
"Every thing is raw material. Everything is relevant. Everything is usable. Everything feeds into my creativity. But without proper preparation, I cannot see it, retain it, and use it." --- Twyla Tharp
"Creativity is the ability to change
something ordinary into something special."

Title "Artsy Scrappy Mama" by Julie Ann Shahin
I decided my self-portrait would be a paper mache art doll because I didn't want to buy something, although I did look in a few stores. I wanted to actually make something and get my hands dirty, yet actually I wore "kitchen gloves" for the messy part! The wire mesh for the dress is no accident, I want you to see through it, to see the body has vintage sewing pattern tissue paper on it. I also wanted to attach items to the dress so this wire worked great, it is called "WireForm by Paragon" or "WireMesh by Paragon" depending on whether you want copper, brass, or aluminum diamond. Pam asked me what her name is, and I decided to name her "Artsy Scrappy Mama" because I wanted to show you a self-portrait of me in my studio, which is painted yellow, where I am happy and thriving.
The items on her dress include a cupcake charm (!!!), a handmade rose (tutorial coming soon), a deer brad because I see deer in my neighborhood all the time, a heart brad, an imagine charm for creativity and a nod to John Lennon, and a pin I saved from a trip to Toronto.
My technique: I wanted to use things that were on hand for paper mache. Make note of everything I recycled!
* The doll body was constructed from a toilet paper roll for the torso,
* and a wad of newspaper rolled into a ball for the head,
* taped together with masking tape.
* I used straws for the arms and legs,
* I punched a hole into the body for the legs and arms with my Crop-a-Dile
* Instead of using newspaper for paper mache, I used vintage music paper, vintage sewing patterns, and vintage book pages
* I made a 1-part flour to 1-part water mixture for the paper mache glue, and let each layer dry overnight
* The eyes and mouth were made on Claudine Hellmuth’s Sticky Back Canvas, cut out and applied
* The background behind her is also paper mache, made on a cardboard mailer. The newspaper article is about me, written several years ago, an interview I gave on hybrid scrapbooking when I was Creative Editor of Scrapbook Dimensions Magazine
* For her hair, I took 10 thin strips of fabric, tied a smaller strip of fabric around them at the top, then adhered one end at the crown of her head. I repeated this about 15 times. Then I tied various floral charms and beads to her hair.

I have been using this white board for "I want to read books" kind of quite trivial things. Much more temporal and casual than notes. I found it at 100 yen (=$1) shop. Perhaps it's for kids. Quite fun to use.
Of course, no battery required. :)

Hey guys! So it's been a week or since my last upload. Since then I've decided to conclude my 365 project prematurely. My reasoning behind it is, that why produce a crap photo 4 out of 7 days of the week, when I can only upload the good ones c: So I hope you don't want to cut me and curse my decedents! It was a good experience. About the photo, it was inspired by many flickr users. I wanted a cloudy day to show the dullness of the world, then, have Sarah's colorful tears to show the loss of creativity the world is experiencing. Sarah is a great model and thanks for the help! Check out the other photo with Sarah's tears!
Immerse yourself in creating--tap that source that brings you joy! This is a great thought and one that I was fortunate to stumble upon while visiting Michelle Alexander's blog site: redpoppyart.blogspot.com/
Here's to a great 2012! May creativity take you places of joy and wonder. xoxoxo

I took this photo because my aunt had just installed something that keeps bugs from crawling under the door.
I think that it is creativity because I would have never thought of doing it and I think she was thinking out of the box

P.S I know the bottom bit if it showed would be much better but it was a mistake :(

for my sixth form photography project - 18 self portraits to represent ourselves. About a year ago i went really quiet and i really have no idea why and i've always been shy but i dont know what happened. Anyway since then i've become so much more confident in myself and around other people so these photos represent me and how i have changed so much.
