A second look: Creative ADD

Last updated : February 28, 2016

Secondlook

This month for Second on the 2nd, I’m sharing a post from February 2012 that still makes me laugh at how all over the place my creativity takes me. Sometimes even in the course of a day. Right now I’m just wishing that creativity would kick back into gear…I’m in a bit of a dry patch on the creativity front.

Join me for a look back…

I’ve been all over the place lately when it comes to creativity.
I think I may have Art ADD (attention deficit disorder).
Ok…some might argue that I have ADD in other areas of my life as well but the Art ADD is self-diagnosed.
I blame the other on Motherhood. Children steal you’re ability to keep a clear running thought in your head. :) But I wouldn’t change a thing.
Anyway…these are the things I’ve done in the past week.
I papered our recycling cabinet to match the fridge.
Knit another dishcloth on the loom

Knit a cowl on the loom…

Miniature terrain on a recycled CD…
Another terrain piece…
And last night I started another twirly crochet scarf because my elbow was hurting from the repetitive motion of the knitting.
Crochet seems to work my wrist more and doesn’t bother me.

In addition I’ve been washing and ironing my way through a large box of old linens. Deciding what is decent enough to save and use and what I can use in my artwork. Vintage linens and fabric are part of my idea for the Postcard Challenge book.

So, yeah…definitely Art ADD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was a crazy amount of creativity in a short amount of time. It would have been really great to bottle a bit of that enthusiasm for a later date such as now!

On a side note…what do you think of my blog makeover? I was feeling the need for a change. I’m still tweaking things here and there.  Please let me know if anything is weird or not functional for you. Thanks!!

    That was quite a lot to accomplish in one week and just shows your versatility as an artist! I remember when you papered the fridge, but for some reason, I do not remember ever seeing the little scenes on the cds–they are awesome!

    Your new blog look is great Halle…very polished (wish I had your skills and know how).
    Fun look back at that lallapalooza of creativity! The first thing I thought of when I saw your first photo was your cool fridge redo.
    Happy Second Look.

    I adore your art ADD or should I say ArtDD? You are one of the most versatile artists I know, and I adore your retrospective look. BTW, I also like your blog look, too.

    Thanks for taking us on this look back by sharing this post with us for Second on the 2nd.

    Wow-you’ve been busy. I love all your little knitted projects. Now that it is cooling off I am back into knitting too and it feels so nice to work those needles and yarn in my hinds.

    You don’t have Art ADD, you are just so talented you have to try everything. Hope you get back in the creative swing of things soon.
