Since the beginning of the year, I've been having these art parties...a time for friends to get together and create...just for the fun of it! Last Friday was one such party...though there were only three of us (the end of school, work schedules and summer visitors keep others away) it did not diminish the amount of creativity, inspiration or enthusiasm...
It started with many large containers of assorted metal pieces...
lots of wire...
and other odds and ends...
the rough idea was to make some sort of mobile/windchime/garden art with found metal pieces...
The construction process began...it was the first day of summer, so we worked outside...under the canopy on the patio (this is the Pacific NW...it might rain...) As you can see, Calvin the golden retriever wanted to create too...
After a couple of hours of snipping, bending, eating, gabbing and drilling, beautiful creations emerged...
I needed a little more time to finish mine up...too much gabbing with friends...
but hung my completed mobile in the front yard the next day...
If the truth be told...to create without a purpose in mind...but to go where inspiration leads...
that's what feeds my artistic soul...and to be able to share that experience with friends...
makes for the best afternoon ever...
Linking up to Kim Klassen's Friday Finds...to find possibilities.....unique treasures...... special moments..... life's lessons......little things.....big things too...... nature's beauty..... heart shaped stones, a special cup.....a pretty flower....wise words....whatever special thing made your week...
