Which Craft?

THIS IS THE TENTH EPISODE!!!! I cannot believe it has been that many! I am crazy happy to be doing this and cannot wait to give you guys more crazy content in the future! 

This episode is all about a project I am working on. I wanted to give you the whole process that I have gone through with it. The ups, downs, doubts, concerns..ALL the things! 

Wanted to do something a little different with Mondays. So I bring to you, Monday Madness! It is going to be that time of the week where I talk about whatever has been going on and what creative projects I have been working on. 

This episode is about baking and the other random things that have been on my mind! Enjoy! 

Have you struggled with the question "What is my purpose in life?" I think there have been times where we all have but sometimes we don't want to admit it. In this episode I share my personal journey through this question. Although the journey hasn't stopped, each day I am learning more and more about purpose. 

What is the purpose of your art or your creations? Have you thought of that? Mine, well just like this podcast has been a journey. 

I know that once in awhile we all struggle with acceptance. Whether it is acceptance of the world today, something that seems unfair, ourselves...the list can go on. It is part of humanity, we go through it in different ways but it still is there somewhere in our lives. 

Today in this episode we discuss acceptance! I encourage you to accept yourself, all you are! :D This goes along well with our "Don't Look, Just Create" Challenge as well. If you aren't looking at other artists and creators, you have an easier time listening to yourself and accepting the ideas you have. 

You have heard of the saying that without Art the Earth is just "eh," right? That is what spurred this episode along with my passion and love for the umbrella term that is art.  In this episode, I am not just talking about the traditional forms of art such as drawing, painting...etc. There are so many more! 

I know the world around us today is crazy and it doesn't feel normal BUT that doesn't make our passion any different. Humanity has always created art! And in this time we will continue to do it, regardless so that when we come out of this time, there is beautiful creations to behold. We can do this, we can get through this time. 

Remember your "Don't look--Just Create" challenge I issued! Use the hashtag #whichcraftpodcast to share with me how you're doing or the things you are creating! Or you can send me a DM @which_craft_podcast on Instagram. 

Have you find yourself scrolling through social media apps constantly? Did you go there to spark an idea or thought at first? And now you are mindlessly scrolling through with no intention of leaving the page? 

I know we all go through those moments especially when we are lacking ideas or inspiration. Be strong and limit yourself! Listen to your own thoughts and ideas. Sometimes when there is quiet and no interference from anywhere else...magic happens. Throughout this episode we talk about social media benefits and some of the downsides. 

I also have issued a challenge to you all! Join me on another creative journey to find the magic. 

What I have learned lately about doing this podcast is that so many things I want to talk about tie into together. Motivation is very similar and could have a lot to do with having a creative block, but I wanted to pull them apart and talk about them separately.  I think even though things tie into each other there is still knowledge to be gained by hearing them separate. 

In this episode, I talked to a few friends on Instagram and got their answers about what motivates them! I am leaving their Instagrams below so you can check out these lovely people. Thank you again for contributing to my podcast! @LiquidArtLab @chloeswellbeingjourney @creationsbycaryssa @dragonfaerose @mrs_leukocyte 

Do you have any tricks to stay motivated?? Let us know...comment or DM us at @Which_Craft_Podcast  

We all have ideas! They are interesting, crazy, spastic and just as individual as the people who have them. Throughout this episode, I am talking about where they come from. Do you as a creator/artist etc. wonder where they come from? Do they appear to you like dreams? Do they hit you like a bolt of lighting? How DO they come to you? 

In the epsiode I do mention a book which is titled "Big Magic" it is by Elizabeth Gilbert. If you follow this link you can see more information about the book.  https://books.google.com/books/about/Big_Magic.html?id=IVMmBgAAQBAJ&source=kp_cover if you have not read it, I would definitely recommend picking it up. 

Remember, we all have light bulb moments.
