Focused Attention - Podcast Episode

Welcome to today' Creating in Faith podcast episode  210.  In today's episode I talk about being Focused.  What does it mean to you, how are you focusing on things that you would like to do, need to do in the midst of everything that is going on.

Are you creative, do you have a regular routine, are there things that you are working on at the moment.  I would love to hear from you, how you blend a creative activity into your day to day living.

Art Journal - Spirited

Also today you will find an art journal that I made, working spontaneously creating a mini journal to put additional thoughts within.

Art Journals can be made from a variety of supplies, in the video I make a small one from a variety of card and patterned papers.  Check what type of supplies that you may have around and utilize these 

You can also use a variety of hand painted papers as well that you may have in your stash

Let me how you get on with the art journal, join me on the YouTube Art Channel and subscribed to hear about more videos.  Stay blessed and be a blessing.

Arts and Wellness - Homemade Masks Selection

Welcome to Arts and Wellness post.  It is important to make sure that you are taking part in a creative activity on a daily basis, pretty much as you would exercise, get fresh air, eat your fruit and veg - creativity, is on that list (well at least it is for me).

When you spend additional time on a daily basis in an activity that can either take your mind off events, or help you express how you feel about the events or anything else that is going on in your life it will definitely have an impact on your health and well-being.  I have also been making time for reading, and other creative projects that allows me to come whole to my creative practice.

I have also spent quite a few weeks when the Covid 19 virus started to grow in the news looking at ways in which, if needed I could create my own protection, especially in light of the shortage of masks for those who were on front line services who are exposed to the virus more frequently than I would.

Making Masks

I decided to make a mask and you can see what things I considered that were more suited to how I wanted the mask to fit me.

 

After mark 4 I came up with one that felt comfortable and effective for me.  You don't need a sewing machine to sew them and they are really easy to put together.  

Let me know how you get on, do you have a favorite out of the ones that you have seen.  Stay blessed and be a blessing.

I only got a snippet of Agrofest as my main focus was getting some plants which I did.  Namely - Breadnut, Pommerac, Red Ginger Lilly and Sea Grapes.  All apart the breadnut is doing well - (those pesky slugs)

Lots of different animals and plants on display and it is definitely well worth visiting over the 3 days of events.
