Are you creative?

You don't have to be a Michelangelo or a Dickens -- even dabblers can be creative. What have you enjoyed creating? (Pictures are optional.)

  • Yes, I am creative, though not in a visual arts way. I am currently creating a constructed language and I have written a 90,000 word novel.

  • That's great, Nev. What's the topic of the novel?

    But even more interesting, would you share something about your constructed language? That's gotta be fascinating.

  • I was sitting at my desk and somehow cut my finger slightly. I wiped the blood on a piece of paper sitting on my desk. When I looked at the blood spot a couple of hours later, I saw (in my feeble mind) a body of a bird. I just drew a beak and feet and my masterpiece was born.
    I have it listed for sale at $3,000,000 US. If you're interested in purchasing it Didge, I will give you the friends and family price of $4 US.

  • $US4 is very generous but would you take some aM credits instead? I seem to have acquired lots that I'll never be able to use otherwise.

  • We had so many we didn't bother to name them; we just gave them a number. If you want to know how it's done just drop me a note and I'll email you the manual.

    ...am liking to help people
    Create a solution to remove the walls
    they have built around themselves.
    To uncreate what has been created...LOL
    ...sometimes making a Mandala in
    Stained Glass that when gazed upon
    would stimulate/inspire a deeper feeling
    within the heart, gave me a good feeling.
    ...probably likened to that when a painter
    creates a painting that draws people
    into it with a good feeling...you know.
         Digitally, I can do a mandala, but
    there was something special that would occur
    when the light passing through the 
    different kinds and colors of glass. It is
    like another dimension of awareness
    would occur, with the Sun passing through the glass,
    ...anyway I used to Dabble in Stained Glass. haha

  • Sounds nice. My daughter in law used to make things from stained glass. It's quite lovely.

    When I was working in the city I occasionally dropped in the Garrison Church just to sit and think. There was never anybody there and if the stained glass windows were off-set by generations of schoolboys who had carved their names into the pews, it was still very restful. This is one of their windows:

  • Don't knock it. It's a dying art. Since the Internet our craft shops are scattered pretty thinly. Whether it's dressmaking or something artistic, it's not to be underestimated.

    Hi Tiger Paws,  I'm with Didge and funny Not Flo.  Echooos and you have a creative and needed talent.  There are very few people who can sew anything these days.  I'm lucky if I can sew a button on and have it stay longer than a day.  Good for you. That is very creative. :) :)

  • Sometimes is enough. It's a whole lot better than no times.

    I can be very creative at reeking havoc where there once was none

    I've also been told I can make something out of nothing at all

    So, yes.  I would say, I am creatively imaginative
