Inspiring words to live by.

When I teach workshops I often make or start a piece to demonstrate techniques along the way. So while teaching my word canvas a few weeks ago at the end of the class I was left with a canvas ready to add words. I did have a few passing ideas of trying something different with this background but all my containers of letters still spewed about the studio drew me into making more words. Inspirational words of course. The fun thing about doing this canvas is to see at the end which words chose me. Yes I don't think I have much say in it and I don't put a lot of thought into it when I'm working on this canvas. In the end I just step back and let the words tell me where I am in life or what I should be listening to in my life.

Do you have any favourite inspirational words?

Word Canvas workshop

I had a wonderful group of creative ladies this past weekend  for my first workshop in the new studio. As you can see they made the Word Canvas. It's always interesting to see what words different people chose. There were so many wonderfully inspiring words flying around that you could feel the energy in the room as they created their canvas'. Most of the students went with words that moved them and just let it flow. Sharon's canvas was inspired by a recent vacation cruise in the Baltic Sea. She used the names of all the countries they visited as well as her cruise ticket. What a great way to remember a wonderful holiday.

I was so inspired by this group of women that I think I'll do another word canvas myself. I'm just having a hard time deciding on a theme. Should I do my usual kind of canvas with inspirational words or try for a new theme idea?!!

Keep Creating!
