So today I wanted to talk about finding our "artist within", and the benefits of doing so. When we are being creative we enter a form of meditation...we get "into the zone." Hours can past without realizing it. One of the benefits is you are able to distract yourself and not focus on your troubles for a while. Doing art can have that healing effect, and in addition you've made something. Like anything we do, if we keep at it we are rewarded by our efforts. I believe everyone has the ability to express artistic expression in one form or the other. The more stressed we feel the more important it can be to find way to find balance in your life. I know I'm always impressed with other people's creative projects and love to listen to their passion about the creative process. Here is some embroidery done by my brother "Shawn" recently made on his embroidery machines.
