I love motivating chats and I had one with my friend Yvonne last week. She is in cold/snowy Canada and we like to clink with a glass of vino via Skype when we can. Great to catch up and push one another. We ended up Creatively Daring (as I like to call it) one another to a Washi Tape-Off. I needed to use some I had collected.
I started a new small idea journal (will share details soon) and went for it....here is my Washi Tape-Off challenge:
It's a simple page of sorts but this small journal is going to be all about simple and fun new ideas to expand my mind and exercise my paint brushes......
and here is Yvonne's: http://mytherapyroom.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/washi-tape-off-challenge/
Sometimes all you need is a push, a dare or somebody making you accountable to just do it. That is what I try to do every Monday. So it feels good when someone holds me to the same. I get in creative ruts too. This is a great way to start my Sunday in the Studio and get ready for Mixed Media Monday! Enjoy the rest of your day!
"There’s never really a right time for anything in life. There’s always going to be something in the way, someone coming to visit, someone leaving soon, the time of the year, the weather, the money, your mother, your brother, etc. Whatever it is, there will always be something or someone whispering, “Now is not the right time.” Do it anyway. Don’t wait for the perfect time; it doesn’t exist."
Love these from you 2. Both of you are so creative. I have so much washi tape and need to use them more. Love being in the presence of such creative talent.
