Decorative Bow Basket

Where do you store the beautiful bows & ribbons received from your holiday gifts?  I like to store mine in a decorative basket.  The basket not only serves as storage but as a decorative element.  Find your favorite basket to store your decorative ribbon.

Cloud Shapes

Many of us often look up at the clouds and see objects of different forms.  I took this picture during a sunset.  What do you see in these clouds?

Vision of Blue

What's the first thing that comes to your mind for the color blue? A blue sky, a blue ocean, blue jeans...?  Draw, sketch, or create a graphic outline for the object.  Color the object with your favorite shade of blue.

Creative Sound

How does the rhythm of sound inspire you?  Whether it's music, birds singing, or a waterfall, listen carefully.  Creative sound can also inspire you for new ideas and stories.

Product Stories

Stories behind a product give the product more value.  The process, behind the scenes, and the people who make the product play a role in the story.  Today I have featured the herbal tea leaves from Sense Asia.  They harvest their natural tea from the farms of Vietnam. Each package of tea comes individually packaged with a story.  It's the life of the local farmers of Vietnam who give the world an opportunity to share their experience of tea.

Background Colors

The background color of an art can change the mood of the artwork.  Draw a tree on three different colored sheets of paper.  Each color will give a different feeling for the artwork. Even though the tree will be the same, the background color will change the effect of the art.
