It’s been a while. I’m still here. I had a great conversation with another creative soul the other night about how creativity just naturally shifts. For a while now, I haven’t been able to sit down to make jewelry. Is that life getting in the way? Or just not feeling inspired? Or have my passions just shifted? Maybe all of the above. 🤔 I’ve been learning how to make apothecary trying to find healthier solutions for my skin as my body shifts into my crone years (cannot believe I’m saying that, but it’s true). Making butters and salves feels good and loving and it’s been fun to gift those. Turns out a certain 5 year old loves one of my sprays and asks for it before bedtime every night. 🤷♀️ 🥰
For my 50th birthday, my best friend gifted me a weekend of candle making. I finally feel inspired again. Gathering fallen rose petals from the garden and dehydrated citrus from the kitchen to add to this bowl and client gifted me for Christmas makes this piece special to me. And then I struggle with wanting to stare at it or burn it and start again. But that’s creation, right? It’s always evolving as we evolve. If you still watch this page, and you’re a creative soul too, I would love to hear about your creative journey/process/transformations.
