huh, creative?

[wildsweetone]

catchy title, no? okay i know it's no.

blame the wine.

you write poetry. what else do you do that's creative?

c'mon tell me, i swear i won't tell a soul.

I make up new Fairy Tales. I write them down. I sew baggy pants. Mine are better than anyones cuz they bag perfectly and have deep pockets. No elastic. I just made a dove grey faux suede (washable) duvet cover for my down comforter. I teach kids to cook with no cookbook. I design gardens, but only for people with an obscene amount of money. I collect tattoos. On me. I rarely throw anything away if I can use it elsewhere. (God I sound like a bag lady!) ie: meat trays for paint trays, tin cans become hanging tin woodsmen, socks become puppets etc. All my 'flowers' the kids pick me in a summer, and the bird eggs or nests get glued to vine wreaths found in the woods and mark each summer for us.

and thats when I'm straight. When I'm buzzed it's even worse. I write songs.

 

[Liar]

I've written musicals.

No really, I have.

 

[WickedEve]

I take photos constantly. Then I alter them in some gruesome way.

I do stuff with glue and chicken feathers. (crafts, though usually no chicken is involved)

Write stories.

Paint. Draw.

Design websites--did that for a living for a few years.

Used to do landscaping with the ex when we were first married. I guess that can be creative.

Cross-stitch. Crochet. (I can make a mean afghan. Should I admit that?)

 

[Angeline]

I can write poems and illustrate them. I'm a pretty good cook, too. I play guitar, not very well, but I can, damnit. That's about it unless you count teaching which I think I'm very good at (well, the kids all love me, anyway).

I can draw some and I want to paint--I think I'd be good at it.

I made a quilt once but I hated it the entire time. I failed home economics in school because the blouse I made looked like it was for the hunchback of notre dame. I can fix buttons, though.

Oh and I took about ten years of dance lessons--ballet, toe, and modern jazz. I can do an excellent jete.

I think this means that all I can really do is write poems....


Eve? Could I order about 18 afghans? It's getting mighty chilly up here. Do you do slippers? You probably crochet dildo covers. lol. Think they'd go on ebay?

 

[annaswirls]

I LOVE to color with crayon in my kids coloring books. Seriously.

Have done mosaics with broken tiles, plates, whatever broken things.

Made an army of big hipped pointy boobed clay ladies once, and I can only find one. They show up now in very odd places. The antique coffee grinder for instance.


Create crafty snacky things for the kids to share with their classmates. Do bologna bats count as creative?

I also like to manipulate digital photographs but I am a novice at this. Still experimenting, although some have been published-- Voracity and Artistry of Life.

More than anything, I love to write letters. Used to write long handwritten letters, now of course, cheap, fast and easy email has overtaken that artform.

I designed my own website and it's sister.

I want to hear Liar's musical. Seriously, I do. OMG I almost forgot, I used to be in a really awful community theater group. It was truly terrible but we had so much fucking fun who cares? I was once a singing princess in a light teal gown with a matching crown, and no, I was not 10, I was 28. I was also Jane in Pride and Predjudice and a slutty bitchy reporter in oh gosh, Arsenic and Old Lace or some rip off of it. That was my favorite role. I hated being sweet Jane.

I misread and thought you wrote clown instead of crown. Wow. What a visual.
This just made me think about the church plays I did as a kid/teen. I always played the kid going to hell.

wow

I hope Liar writes a musical with a clown wearing princess. Or maybe 12 clown wearing princesses that live high in the mountains of West Virginia.

You do make a convincing hellion, I was always the mother or teacher cos I am so fucking tall.

 

[annaswirls]

Eve, your sig picture just freaks me out. It is like the first flower symbiot I have ever seen and think you should sell it to Star Trek

Well... I'm sitting here now, recalling all the bad church play memories. It was my part to ruin Christmas for everyone until I find Jesus. "Oh, she finally found Jesus. Pass the eggnog."
I'm not selling my flower unless I go with it. We're kind of... attached to each other.

Many many years ago I lived in Pulaski, Tennessee*. I was working 60 hours a week at Frito Lay, and going to college full time, so everything was always rushed. Halloween came up on us fast, and I had to think of something quick, so I grabbed a pillowcase and poked 2 holes, amd my kindergardener daughter became a ghost! She loved it.

She went out Trick or Treating with her cousins, and in about an hour came in for a bathroom break. While I was helping her she asked "Mom? What's a Kluxer?" I was shocked and asked why? She said "Cuz thats what people think I am!"

I quickly made a sign and pinned it to her that said "Boo! I'm Caspar, The Friendly Ghost! Trick or Treat!" and sent her back out.

That was creative, right?

*For those of you who don't know, right after the War Of Northern Aggression ended, the Klu Klux Klan was founded in a barber shop in Pulaski, Tn. There was a plaque on the wall for many years, but Pulaskians don't feel the way some do anymore, and turned the plaque to face the wall. For many years the Klan would come to Pulaski to rally and all businesses now close up shop, and you can't even buy gas on that day. Kluxers are no longer welcome there.

Most of the day I'm etching, drawing or painting because that is what I do, I write poetry for recreation.

I used to have a business where I designed and made (along with a friend) stainless steel and bronze sex toys which was fun! I used to get emails from all over the world and women would tell me in minute detail about when and how they used such and such an item. Women are so so forward in telling you everything but everything they get up too. The one toy I was most proud of was a five speed stainless steel vibrator with a Swarovski crystal on/off button that was so smooth to operate you could just speed it up and or slow it down with a slight pressure of the finger or you could just let it run by it self and it was rechargeable on your phone adaptor too!

I can do all sorts of handywork but do my best to get out of it. Being fortunate and making a large chunk of my living with something creative, it's nice to do boring mundane stuff sometimes.

 

[Tzara]

The most creative thing I do is fill out my income tax form.

Creative? Networks...

Artistic? Nothing...

I once cut my own hair, but I looked like a llama when I got done so I can't say I'm any good at it.

Thanks. I looked at your photograpphy in your link. It's really very good. I think all gardens - no matter how small - should have a water feature. The sound and look of water is healing.

Another one from my folder.

Sumie is one of my favorite forms of art, your work is really quite impressive. Thanks for the compliment on my photography...I have more coming out in about a week that I will post...
ps. I couldn't agree more with water in the garden.

I have a lovely green and yellow oscillating objet d'art that I picked up at Tru-Value Hardware in mine.

I want to hear Liar's musical. Seriously, I do.

That can be arranged. I've got some soundcheck recordings when some of the actors and the band messed around with English translations of the songs on one of them. I could buzz them over.

I remember when I first went to Japan I was in awe of their gardens. I'd never been one for sitting and contemplating in a garden but I had no problem there. Wonderful garden designers.
