30 minutes a day being creative

Lottie5433Lottie5433 Community Connector Posts: 1,156 Wise Owl

so this is sort of a post mainly to make me accountable for obtaining a DBT short term goal of being creative for 30 minutes a day.

I used to be creative a lot growing up whether that was drawing or photography I always am doing something creative. But over the last few years since college I stopped being creative and that was due to time.

So each day or at the end of a week I’ll post what I’ve been doing.

    These are some of the little polymer clay designs I did this evening.
    I created 2 octopi - one for me and one for my partner.
    a frog worry stone

    And a set of puzzle pieces for me and my partner. So we can have them on our keys and know we are the only matching pieces and we fit together.

    This is just a few of the things I’ve done but hoping to do some more

    Ah this is such a cool goal @Lottie5433 I love it!! Also, the octopi are beyond cute! Is this the kind of clay that you need to bake?

  • Lottie5433Lottie5433 Community Connector Posts: 1,156 Wise Owl

    yes @Sian321 this is the clay you have to bake.
    this morning I decided to bake them before we headed out.

    Thank you the octopi are my favourite thing so far apart from the mod of cacti I have as well

    @Lottie5433 I'm so glad you decided to post these! These are absolutely adorable. The worry stone is so cute but I think the little octopus legs/arms take the cake. Gorgeous! I look forward to seeing what creative task you end up doing today.

    @Lottie5433 so lovely!! How does it feel to be making more time for creativity so far? Such a self-caring thing to do for you!

    Hi @Sian321 it feels good to do something creative and for myself. I didn’t do any yesterday as I was out at my partners mums house till late and today I don’t know if I’ll do much as we are planning on going out with some friends (might end up with a low social battery at the end) but yeah overall it feels good to do something for myself

    just a couple of things I made today over 1.5hrs (this was to make up for not doing any the last couple days. we have:

    • a Cathrine wheel lollie
    • A mushroom
    • A snake
    • A donut
    • A donut turtle
    • A watermelon

    I think the watermelon, mushroom or donut turtle are my favourites today.
