Day 14 – August Arty Challenge – I Will Get Out Of My Head And Get With My Hands
Day 14 – I Will Get Creative With My Hands
I must say this nearly every single time I’m on TV: getting creative with my hands is how I switch off my head. And for me, that really is the crux of everything. I have never been very good at doing nothing. My brain simply doesn’t stop. It thinks, plans, worries, works things out, jumps ahead, goes backwards — you know the drill! But give my hands something creative to do, and something changes. Whether I’m stamping, painting, doodling, cutting up paper, making a piece of pottery or just playing with colour, my head quietens down because my hands have taken over. That, right there, is why I am a maker. It isn’t just about what I end up with; it’s about what happens to me while I’m making it. And I reckon that’s worth remembering today. xxx

Another brilliant inky challenge. Thank you.
I totally agree with the sentiment that focusing on what your hands are achieving stops those racing thoughts for a while.
The only problem for me now is the arthritis that has developed in my little fingers making everything I do with my hands a painful experience but I persevere and fortunately have quite a high pain threshold. I have planned to do a taster pottery session at a local venue my husband stumbled upon so we will see: hopefully not setting myself up for another disappointment.
On another post you wrote about a podcast concerning the Gray Scalers. Will you be giving us a link so we can listen in? l do hope so. x
hope you are feeling better and resting when you can. thankyou so much for the August challenge. I’ve lost my mojo this last year. my mum was had mixed dementia and then had a life changing stroke, she had to go into a nursing home, she was unable to walk talk and eat properly. so I don’t know I felt guilty doing stuff. she passed away 4week ago. I am still struggling, but doing the August challenge had help me. I’ve been putting my own spin on the projector. looking through my stash to find something similar. but I am enjoying the process and it’s helping me each day. you are such a clever lady.

I have all the products so will give it a go. Thank you for the inspiration. I have had the lace for years and never used it !!!!
Take care.
Lovely demo, I don’t have the dotted flower stamp, so will use another stamp, although at times it takes me ages to decide which one to use!! xx
