I started a polaroid journal this week. The land camera is a challenge to learn due to its specific demands with lighting. But when the images come out right, they provoke and prod the meandering words in my brain. It feels good, real good, just to let them fly onto the page. It can't be about spewing profundities or the words would be unyielding. It's creating just to create, that's all I really need :).
Bella's prompt this week is "Handwriting"...

I love your words on the paper. Lovely. Creating just to create is good. Good for the soul.x
ReplyDeletebeautiful post!
ReplyDeleteInspiring stuff! And lovely words too :-)
ReplyDeletei love when our toes gather as a family too... : )
ReplyDeleteYes I tend to agree, the polaroid will evoke alot of emotions, then thoughts to paper. This is why I love it so!
ReplyDeleteif every artist could simply allow,
ReplyDelete"It's creating just to create", how happy they would all be.

Beautiful words to go with a family photo (of toes!).
ReplyDeleteawesome! I love it- I'll have to check into the 52 weeks thing- my #31days project is keeping me pretty busy & so has some of our other homeschool/unschool/life school stuff (but that's the really good stuff after all)
ReplyDeleteabout your comment on my blog- I really love that your family takes the time to investigate the little things!
and. . . is that picture on your heading from Kelly Park? we must meet soon- i'll make a special trip just to meet you! :)
I am really appreciating the simple applications of creativity right now, and love this idea. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful words and image today! Thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeletewow! did you write that? wonderful writing! truly! the photo (of the photo) is wonderful too! taken with the iphone? with one of the apps you told me about? XO
ReplyDeletehave I mentioned how super cool you are lately?
ReplyDeletelove.... sometimes you just have to make/create/write/discover something
ReplyDeleteeven your toes are beautiful.
ReplyDeletecreating to create...
ReplyDeleteSuch a good thing MJ! Lovely writing in the journal!
I love the way all of the members of your family seem to be so in tune with your creative sides. This is so neat, and I'm so inspired by the way you feed your soul :)
ReplyDeleteIt sometimes is so helpful to have an image to refer to to get those creative juices flowing. I remember discovering that process in high school for a writing project for English class. Somehow, it was easier to write (for me) when I saw something.
ReplyDeletei think you've found your groove lady. keep on - love watching you grow on your journey.
ReplyDeleteA gathering of toes. I so love it, MJ. I love the idea of you creating a polaroid journal. Two great things that will be wonderful in your hands. Thank you for sharing this lovely glimpse!
