Sometimes I think of the people, the quiet ones who write, draw and create.

Comfortable in their favorite places, with their tools, with their minds pouring, their hearts open.

I know that space and that feeling so well. I am a quiet one too.

I wonder, is that space, the creative heart and mind, is it shareable? Or is that where we stay, alone, because there's no way to be truthfully perceived?

Should our creativity be our secret?

Sometimes, my creativity is used to create joy or a means to an end. Other times, it is used to deal with sadness. The result doesn't reflect my underlying mood. I am happy to share my creativity if the focus is on the end result. This week I designed landing gear for my RC jet that I am designing and building. Used Fusion 3D Sw to create the design and a 3D printer to create ABS plastic parts.

@Livingwell super cool! I call that math art!

Creating joy is one of the best ways, it's the most shareable 🖤

I think the personal feeling and love of the process is one that only you can feel.

However, you can teach others and guide them along to find their own joy of the process. 💙

@caccoon I love this. I hear so many people say they can't when they can, they just have to do it 🖤

@ScreamingFox yes 🥰🥰 and it is all about the process... Not so much the end result.

It's great when you get to a point that you can make beautiful things others enjoy (I find it hard to enjoy my own art anyway)

But it really is about the process, and it's so good for us. It is good for everyone to be creative in their own way

I don't know. But what I know is that whenever have I shared my innermost intimate creations, none truly sees . People see my art, but not that subtle pieces, the weird and real ones, people like more the edited, the refined, not in the sense of technique, but in intention

@Boeing There is a touch of artistic fear in me. When you posted the painting you recently did and asked what people thought of it, I wanted to respond so badly, but I was afraid. I saw the stain of the bad energy. But it is all to be perceived, do we want that?

Most people just care if it's "good", I don't. I often wish for more, art as healing. To talk to the artist. I imagine the days long ago when artists and poets would share a drink and discuss...

I am too idealistic lol

I’ve always felt my creativity is a personal space, meant for me to explore and grow in my own way. I’ve never really thought anyone would be interested to know what I write or do in those creative moments

@Jenny1234 I am interested. I think there are those of us wanting a deeper look into things..it can be inspiring

I like to give mine freely. But it's all left to interpretation I guess

ScreamingFox · 41-45, F

@caPnAhab indeed, as soon as it leaves our brains
