Find Yourself Through Art

About

Do you wish you had the time to be artistic? 

For years I wished I could make time to do art. I was so busy driving my kids around, running a photography business, and feeling worn out and empty. My hands wanted to make something, my heart yearned to create… but I didn’t know where to start. I wasn’t as good as my head wanted to be.

When have you felt creative?

Maybe it was making something at school, or doodling a cute note to a friend. Maybe it was a painting night last month with your girlfriends. Maybe it was writing your personal history in your journal, or collecting old memories to display at your parent’s 30th anniversary celebration. Maybe you haven’t made anything since elementary school and you’ve forgotten how exciting it was to drag that soft brush across the macaroni glued to your paper.

Creativity is part of us.

One of the podcasts I listen to (I’ll have to go back and find it) said “When people say I don’t have a creative bone in my body, replace creative with curious, and suddenly that sentence seems so silly. You don’t have a curious bone in your body?”

What have you always wished you could do?

Do you ever wish you could take a ceramics class? A photography class? A class to have beautiful lettering? What does your heart tell you to try?

Women Create Weekly was born.

I have enjoyed being a professional photographer since 2006. As I supported my family for many years, I always wished I had time to do fun crafting/creating things. Now years later, dishes and homeschooling seem to crowd out creating.

But that’s changing.

In the beginning of 2017 an idea began to form, to help women make time for creating. I spent months beginning my own journey to reoccurring creativity, and began to explore in clay, colored pencils and paints again. In 2018, I officially formed Women Create Weekly. I am so excited about the things that are on the horizon. You are going to be able to join me into a long creative friendship, as I lead you through projects of all kinds: paper making, desserts, embossing, calligraphy, wall art, crochet, wood carving, … and the list is ever-growing.

Come create with me; come fill your soul.

Watercolor Art With Amber 🎨
I decided to paint 100 skies for my #100daysprojec I decided to paint 100 skies for my #100daysproject and I finally broke open my @drphmartins bleedproof white on these #galaxy night skies
Two images to show a major shift I had the other n Two images to show a major shift I had the other night. As parents we work really hard, and often have to deal with stressors and the heaviness of life. Sometimes the people we care most about get the crumbs of our emotional energy and attention. (Even if they’re getting our face time, we may not be fully present). I worked really hard for 2 months on some big projects (one being a 50-video beginner watercolor course!!) and my daughter wished we’d do something together. But I’m exhausted. Yet, I a few nights ago I took a breath and 5-4-3-2-1 decided to make a fun mini date before bedtime (thanks #melrobbins). We made matching hair in 2 minutes and then painted some watercolor valentines together. It really wasn’t a big deal, and didn’t take a lot of time. As she went to bed, she hugged me extra tight and told me I was such a good mom. Nice to hear, but I didn’t need her words to know I’d made the right choice, and that it really wasn’t even that hard. Something I thought I didn’t have the energy to do, was now done!! What about you… what in YOUR life are you deciding not to put off any longer? I wanna hear about it.
When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? Only you, no coworkers, friends, or partners. #selfhealerssoundboard podcast mentioned this a few months ago, but I didn’t do it. It was only after feeling down for a few days after releasing my new watercolor course, that I realized I wasn’t celebrating. 50 videos with logical steps building a secure foundation is something to be proud of, but I was too burnt out to see it. Take a pause and with a birds’ eye view, what needs celebrating in your life? Maybe you cleaned a junk drawer finally, or sent a difficult text, or got recognized at work. Tell me… what will you celebrate? #selfcare #selfcoaching #celebrateyourself

You guys. I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon You guys. I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon to match bookmarks to sell at my very first vendor fair Saturday. And I found a cute new blank bullet journal for 2023. At checkout I put my bookmarks off to the side out of the way while she rang up my ribbon and journal. She turned and asked if I’d paid for the bookmarks yet. I caught a breath and beamed back, “I made those!” And she said she thought they were one of theirs. I snapped this when she turned away to remember this moment. :) :) maybe someday I’ll be in #hobbylobby but for now wish me luck Saturday!!
