Being Creative

Articles, Places, People, and Things that can help us be creative.

Christmas - Creative kitchen gifts - edibles star
Christmas is a great motivator (and good reason) to get creative, especially if finances are a little tight. Gifts and cards that have been made with thought and care are worth so much more than something bought from stacks of items all the same in a department store.

Christmas - Creative kitchen gifts – drinkables star
Continuing this series of articles that celebrate creativity for Christmas, this article concentrates on giving gifts that are drinkable, rather than edible. These are great gifts, especially in these financially precarious times, and show the recipient that you’ve given thought on his/her behalf.

Christmas – Savory food gifts – readers’ faves star
Since the first article went online I’ve received several emails from readers telling me of their favourite gift edibles and drinkables. Thank you very much! I’m passing some of them along to the rest of Creativity’s readers.

Christmas – Sweet food gifts – readers’ faves star
More readers’ favorite food gifts including the best ever chocolate sauce for ice cream, caramelized nuts, truffles and brownie treats. At this rate, I’m going to eat way more than I give out. (Purely in the interests of trying them out for my readers, you understand…).

Creating While You Sleep star
A third of our lives are spent sleeping and during this state we can ride the ocean wave of creativity through dreams and even nightmares.

Creative procrastination star
Procrastination is generally considered a bad thing and we feel guilty about it if we catch ourselves putting something off. However, sometimes it’s a good thing and we can actively use it to boost our creativity. We can also make our procrastination more creative so that it works for us.

Creative Shopping the Consignment Way star
Consignment shopping is an off the beaten path way of finding one-of-a-kind treasures that you normally can´t find in modern department stores.

Creative Smiling for World Peace star
Creativity is about living life creatively in ALL ways. This means it’s not just about creating physical objects; it’s also about creating non-physical things, like world peace.

Creative worrying star
We can use our innate sense of creativity to make worrying work for us – that is, if we’re going to worry anyway, we might as well do it creatively.

Creativity and a light heart star
Is creativity available to you? Yes, it is. It´s in us and around us. Grab it!

Creativity Newsletter - Always Creative star
Always Creative is the newsletter for the Creativity site at BellaOnline.com. "Always Creative" is your theme to live by.

Etsy.com - creativity outlet star
Etsy.com - this is the third in my series of articles about outlets where you can display and sell your creations if you wish.

Everyday Creativity star
A lot of people believe that creativity is a ‘gift’ that has been given to a select few. This is not true. Everyone has creativity within them, but not everyone taps this source of life-enrichment.

Greeting Card Universe - creativity outlet star
We are all different in the way our creativity needs to be expressed - some of us are happy with the 'doing' of it, some with the end result of itself, some need to make things to give, and some need to make things to sell. GCU is an outlet for your creativity which covers all these needs.

Halloween - Make a Pirate costume star
Pirate costumes are great to make because so often you already have a lot of the items needed to make a really convincing Captain Pugwash or Saucy Susie Pirate Wench, or, of course, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Halloween – Make a Witch Costume star
Witch costumes are great to make because you often already have at hand a lot of the materials and items that you need to make a mere fledgling witch, or a wicked, good or saucy witch – with a little creativity you can put together a sensational outfit for any type of witch.

Halloween – make an ATC or ACEO star
How to make an ATC or ACEO (art card) for Halloween which you can add to your collection of artist cards or give to someone else for theirs. I’m going scan mine in, print color copies, stick to greeting card blanks and add some fabric paint to give them a 3D effect, and send them to my friends.

Home Jewelry Party Creativity star
Home jewelry parties can bring out the creative side in women of all ages. Lia Sophia has top-of-the line costume jewelry with pieces that appeal to everyone.

Make a forget-me-not pet ATC star
This article gives some guidance towards making an artist trading card (ATC or ACEO) using collage techniques, materials you could find at home, and with the idea in mind of your pet or someone else’s pet, if you’re giving the completed card as a gift.

Photography star
Bella Photography Site

Respect your creativity star
You need to respect your own creativity in order for other people to respect it too.

Time to create star
It’s that time of year again – when we start to think of all the things we would like to make, like cards and gifts and costumes and house and table décor items for the various occasions that arise between now and the New Year. How do we find the time?

We need to be creative star
Without creativity, humans wouldn’t have survived at all. That is, we need to create just as much as we need to eat and drink.

What is Creativity? star
Did you reach for a dictionary? Type the word into Google? I almost did, but we don’t have to look. We know what it is. We are the very essence of creativity – it’s a human thing!

Yessy.com - creativity outlet star
Yessy.com - this is the second in my series of articles about outlets where you can sell your creations if you wish.
