As soon as I start talking about creativity, people get a little freaked. “I’m not artistic,” they say. “I can’t even draw a straight line.” But you don’t have to be the next Georgia O’Keeffe (have you seen my Pictionary drawings?) to have fun, to be creative, to broaden your life. I’m talking about tapping into your [...]
My daughter has this ongoing project where she takes trash, bottle caps and bubble wrap, pencil shavings, scraps of ribbon, and tin foil, packing peanuts and popcorn kernels and just about anything else she can find to create a world on a flat of cardboard.
