Study of the day:
"Les qualités et les étendues, les formes et les matières, les espèces et les parties ne sont pas premières ; elles sont emprisonnées dans les individus comme dans des cristaux. Et c’est le monde entier, comme dans une boule de cristal, qui se lit dans la profondeur mouvante des différences [...]. "
“Qualities and extents, forms and matters, species and parts are not first ; they are imprisoned in the individuals as in crystals. And it is the whole world, as in a crystal ball, which is read in the moving depth of the differences [...]. ”
( Gilles Deleuze - Différence and répétition )

"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.

When gableknits posted her photo of her sampler I KNEW I had to make one too- if only to make a point to the family. This was a true labour of love. I used varigated red thread I had had for years but ran out half way down the lettering, couldn't find any more in my part of New Zealand ( and of course I didnt have the thread number anymore) so I had to unpick and redo the letters in charcoal. Still love it though!
Now off to do gableknits next phrase!
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.
Its extremely rare you get to see this birds actual namesake "Red Bellied Woodpecker." Apparently "red headed" was already taken. My mother puts out oranges and grape jelly for our summer time visitors from Costa Rica like the orioles and rose breasted grosbeaks. Of course it doesn't stop our year round residents from getting a sugar high. This particular woodpecker would come in and dance circles around that branch its hanging from and finally decide its best approach as you can see (please zoom in and you can see it can only reach with its tongue). The smaller birds have no problem but this bird is too big and has learned it flips the tray up and thus can't land on it. This is proof of the creativity and intelligence of even the smaller to medium sized back yard birds we have all around us.
I love watercolors x3
I fell in love with the medium when I used them for the first time in art & design class a few months ago. <33
Someone got creative and put a Daffodil in this group of Rhododendron flowers. It looks great even in the rain.

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!
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. :-)

(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.

Study of the day:
[...] Quand on voit comment un animal marque son territoire, [...], ce qui intervient dans le marquage d'un territoire, [...], c'est aussi une série de postures, une série de couleurs, de chants, [..], ce sont les trois déterminations de l'art, . . couleurs, lignes, chants, c'est l'art à l'état pur ! Et alors je me dis, quand ils sortent de leur territoire, ou quand ils reviennent dans leur territoire, [...] que le territoire c'est leur avoir, c'est les propriétés de l'animal, et sortir du territoire c'est s'aventurer. Dès lors avec Felix [...] on a construit un concept que j'aime beaucoup. Puisque le territoire ne vaut que par le mouvement par lequel on en sort, on a besoin d'un mot, même s'il est en apparence barbare, pour désigner ce concept. C'est le concept de dé-territorialisation. [...] "
When we see how an animal marks its territory ... which is involved in the marking of its territory, ... it is a series of postures, a variety of colors, songs, [..], there are the three determinations of art. Colors, lines, songs, it is art in its purest form ! When they come out of their territory, or when they come back into their territory, the territory ... is the properties of the animal, and to leave the territory is to venture into an unknown country. Therefore, with Felix [...] we built a concept that I like very much. Because the territory is defined only by the movement through which it is left, we need a word, even it is seemingly barbaric, to describe this concept. This is the concept of dis-territorialization. [...]"
( Gilles Deleuze - L'Abécédaire - 1988 1995 - A: Animal )

I've been asked: "How do you create your magical pictures...?"
Okay. This video is one of my answers.
I have learned so much by my flickr friends that I want to say THANK YOU ALL!!!
Now I will show what I have learned...
No need to keep secrets.
Enjoy your own creativity!

Nature is the great artist and we only frame this art work with a camera lens, with a paint brush, with words or other artistic means !
An attempt to show the most fundamental things that God created: Substance, joy, beauty, relationship, wisdom, holiness, all played out in time/eternity. I have blogged about this here.
Thanks for looking!
Not only do I believe in recycling, but in reusing. This was a burnt out light bulb. I was bored and had a blue sharpie next to me. This was the end product, and I'm not sure what to do with it at this point.
