Things you can bring into this world <3
Flower arrangement
Choose your favourite colours, flowers and try and see how you can make something that matches your room or just how you’re feeling!
I like to experiment with flowers I don’t usually buy and figure it all out along the way. If you find drawing difficult, flower arrangement is perfect, as the beauty is already in the flowers — it’s just up to you how to arrange them to bring out whatever feeling you want.
Clothes designing
In primary school, we had the chance to design our own T-shirts. I still have mine and although it isn’t Da Vinci, it reminds me that I love and have always loved art. Art can be fun, and if you like the process, sometimes the outcome doesn’t matter. I like remembering the days when I had set tasks for creativity and how much fun they brought. I think I should design a new T-shirt in honour of the old one, and simply send it off to get printed and receive a new design for my collection! There are of course other ways to make clothes such as crochet and knitting. Some tutorials I’ve seen show how we can arrange scarves into tops. I love getting creative and I hope this inspires you to make something, irrespective of your level of skill!
Making music
I’m currently an absolute beginner when it comes to guitar, but I love writing lyrics and I’ve found that even strumming a few strings can be so inspiring for my lyrics. I quite enjoy messing around on the strings even without singing. The amount of semi-tones available on the guitar amazes me as someone who used to only play piano. Whether it is a piece of spoken word, a lyric or a melody, try and make a piece of music that makes you feel.
Sketching
Travel to a local museum or art gallery and if something catches your eye, give it a little sketch! I prefer smaller drawings, which are quick and allow me to keep the memory of the thing I’m seeing and try to make something beautiful.
