CHILDHOOD WATERCOLOR
Dug up while decluttering! One of the many benefits of decluttering is that you end up knowing exactly where everything is, whether that's the carrot shredder or childhood drawings.
I never thought I could draw very well and was frustrated by not being able to represent exactly what I wanted. But now I know that as long as you're expressing yourself and especially if it's pleasing or fun or interesting in some way -- to you and with luck, to others also -- part of the magic of creativity is that it's your partner; you're not its boss.
Many times things turn out differently than how you'd imagined and it's fantastic. You're kind of playing with the Universe when you get creative.
I still love the same fashion style too. Long, lean lines and bold shapes, luscious colors. I even gave her curly hair, lol. This was as a young teenager, I remember and inspired by 1930s illustrations, which I adored.
Do you have anything stashed away you'd love to uncover by decluttering?
