Sometimes the creative muse is as elusive as a snow leopard. But then other times it seems to be everywhere.
Sometimes a situation will bring creativity because there is a problem that must be solved. Sometimes the synergy of multiple perspectives brings creativity calling.
But my favorite time for it is when I have the time and no particular demand for a solution or an idea.
When these times come I play a little game of what if.
What if I had 100 lbs. of newspaper?
What if I had the opportunity to just design jewelry?
What if I had the perfect kitchen?
What if I could travel anywhere in the word for as long as I wanted?
I just let my brain wander through the possibilities and then if I feel like anything is worth keeping I will jot it down or sketch it out. I do not put many restrictions on the game; no issues with access to resources, money, or time.
The next step I need to take with my creativity is keeping it organized so if I need a creative solution to a problem I can offer a few from my files.
