How has your creative process change over the years? I have always (and I mean always) had more than one creative project on the go - it is something I saw modeled from my Grandma and my mom, I guess you could say it came to me naturally. You name it I have probably tired it, everything from Cross stitch to paper tole, from tole painting to Macrame. I have always thrived on creative process. I used to love to baby sit because it was a good excuse to colour with out looking like a fool in 11 th grade!
One of the first craft classes I ever took , it was the early 70's, I was about 10. It was in Lougheed Mall in a small store on the top floor by The Bay. It was a big deal, mom would drop me and my friend off and leave us - then we would meet up for lunch. The classes must have been 6 or so sessions - we made bird cages out of Styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners and feathers - complete with a bird perched happily inside, yarn octopus' that sat on our beds and other things I am sure - the thing that sticks out in my mind is how much I loved being there - surrounded by all the "stuff" working with my hands and enjoying the end results as they graced my bedroom. Now some 30 (YIKES!) years later very little has changed - I still love to create, and I still love to be surrounded by creative "stuff" it fuels my creativity.
