Perfect? Never heard of her. Creation over consumption. Here’s the recap of weekly art for this start of my September series. Go use those art materials, they’re waiting for you.

I decided to print out some pics for my junk journaling, channel my scrap book energy. Maybe I’ll get a HP Sprocket one dayyy.

Go create

Snacks, nature, & art?! Plus Misha splashing water everywhere (peep the wet spots on the bag 😂)!

I’m loving my bags from Soolla thank YOU! I needed better organization with my supplies so these are a huge help. AND room for snacks?? Yes, pls. I was the kid who traveled to all my siblings’ events so I was raised with all the goodies. Not much has changed. Would’ve been nice to have this in the 90s 😎

I will be taking these on my adventures & keeping them nearby my home space so I will reach for supplies over my phone!

🌞It’s important to keep those supplies in sight. In sight, in mind. Out of sight, out of mind.

Where do you like to create?

Fellow creatives, do you agree? 👀
I’m tired of the talk about what the algorithm wants & feeding the beast. I continue to see posts on here of how to do all of the trending things (I admit to doing some trends that I do think are fun/silly), buy a course on content creating to fit the mold, AI generated images all over, people burning out with posting all the time for others instead of for themselves, more consuming less creating… it is a lot.

I view it as a hindering creativity for me personally, and what I’ve heard from others. I say this because I believe it’s coming from perfectionism to be sure it’s ’liked.’ Making sure what we post is what the algorithm wants. As we know, perfectionism hinders creativity. If you disagree for yourself, that’s great.

Be you.

Remember when IG used to be the 1 photo post? Fiona Fiona Clark | Visual Artist posted about the 1 photo post a lil bit ago & I appreciated that (go check her out btw. Yes, I know things change. I can still miss those times, and recognize change. I’m seeing more people speak out about this exhaustion & I think that’s important. Let’s name it & make our own choice.

For now, I’m going to reevaluate some things & do what I can.
I’m going to write further on this on my Substack.

If you’re new here, hi ✌🏻I’m Lindsey, an art therapist & creative speaker who chats all things creativity & wellness. I enjoy posting relating to those topics, & hope that they inspire you to go take care of you.
Create more than consume.

Have you heard this phrase, “reclaim your sandbox?”

This goes along with much of what I explore with teams & individuals.

There was less of this judgement when we were kids *playing in the sandbox.* The sandbox was a space made for joy, play, creativity. So what can be that space now for you to experience something similar as an adult? Yes, yes adults NEED this too.

Where is the space?
What is the act?
How can we treat ourselves kinder to experience these benefits?

For my current moment, it’s playing with oil pastels that I haven’t used in a while.

Agree or disagree?

I used to allow fear & anxiety stop me from getting out there and doing the things I really did what to do. There was fear of the unknown. What ifs.
Is there still fear with trying something new or getting out there? Oh yeah. It’s not as big though, and I’ve been trusting myself.

What’s something you did that was a change?

Let’s try a less intimidating canvas using a discarded book! This will then be our altered book. I love them for so many reasons. 2 being- repurpose & less intimidating.

They’re fun to doodle with paint markers.
I’ll be leading an in person workshop on this in November, and a training for art therapists in Oct!

Have you ever worked on an altered book?

Saying bye to August & hello Sept. Before that, I wanted to share my birthday spread from August. I love collecting items shown here because they’re great for creating! Repurpose ♻️
Try it out!

Are you a throw it all away, type person? Or do you save these for creativity?

Tissue paper really is an underrated material

Let’s make a sun on this last Monday in August! No perfection.

If you check out my feed, you’ll be sure to see suns pop out, for various reasons.

☀️Anyone else sad we’re saying bye to August? I am a big fan of summer & get bummed when it passes.

May the rest of your year be filled with sunshine

Every Monday I post a MAKE IT MONDAY that is dedicated to creating art. Show me what you create!
