fulfilment of the soul

 hello lovely guests~ today, i wanted to discuss creation, and how all of us can find beauty in our lives through making art and creating things ♡:.+ ٩(๑❛o❛๑)۶+.:♡

recently, i’ve been overwhelmed with a sense of creativity and have been sewing or drawing lots of days, much more frequently than i had been doing before..

i’ve been working mostly on prototype products for my planned instagram shop. i’m hoping to sell hand-made textile products and have been practicing a coin purse & makeup pouch design. on instagram i’d been seeing lots of ual csm student’s works which has inspired me to draw in my own time for the first time in months. the work that csm students produce is other-worldly.. their minds work differently to the rest of us i think.. everything they produce is so beautiful ♡

i’ve been feeling motivated when seeing these works online and i’m so glad that it’s making me inspired. but, this doesn’t come without pitfalls. looking at other’s work, inevitably, creates comparison which i find really demotivating ㅜㅜ i often look at other people’s art/crafts and feel as though mine aren’t good enough or creative enough. i’m a real perfectionist so these thoughts make me not even want to create at all..

i’m working on that. i think that it’s something that we can all relate to- comparison- and something we can all work on changing. remember to take each day as it comes. nothing is perfect or done right in one try. let yourself practice and fail and learn; that’s the beauty of the creative process. it is a process. i hope that this resonates with someone out there and you can hear my message. good things are coming~

allow beauty and art into your life; look for it within the little things. finding beauty in the mundane will bring you such joy. once you start looking for beauty, even the most boring things will begin to shine.

your admin, Sparkle ♡
