The Creative Process Part 1

In college our professors talked about the Creative Process a lot. 
At that time i didn't really get what they meant. i feel like i got a nibble of it, but barely a bite. 
Now as i am experimenting with different media and pursuing excellence for you myself and for God in a business type arena i am getting a richer bite :)


Things i am learning:


1. I nearly never make something "perfect" the first time.


2. There's a crazy balance between working like a little Thomas Edison or Albert Einsten to INVENT and making sure you still eat, sleep, pray, and talk to people. haha i'm serious.


3. It's important to balance sPonTanEity with plannedness. 


A few ARTY bites for you to chew on :)
Lastly, i want to say:


I feel free when i make art because i feel like the "mistakes" i make aren't ever big and maybe are not mistakes at all.

It was an AmAZiNg DAY seeing God fulfill for Tony and Renee 

what has been believed by faith.

One of my favorite pieces I've ever made <3

God is blowing my mind with His goodness <3

Now to Him who is ABLE to do far more abundantly beyond ALL we can ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations  forever and ever. Amen. 

Ephesians 3:20

your soul is speaking,

Soulspeak goes to the Fair!

Now to Him who is able 

to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, 

according to the power that works within us, 

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus 

to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Soulspeak was given a FREE booth @ a fair which takes place in August! 

I was speechless when i found out and excited to share how the time goes!

Here are some of the little birdies we'll be selling!

This is the packaging used with these lovely bandana flower clips.

Just a little taste! 

My friend Karin rocked like a machine on these! I am so thankful for help! <3

Hope to see you @ the fair!

Everyone's SOUL IS SPEAKING.

Soulspeak Soles

How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written,  

“HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE 

WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!” 

- Romans 10:15

As i began to make shoes, these words started to visit me often. God started to show me that these shoes were more than adorable :) they were useful to spread the Gospel. For $25.00 you can walk on some custom made Soulspeak Soles and $10.00 of your purchase will go towards supporting a missionary. 

Enter Missionary number one: 

The Beautiful and Hilarious Jordan Eggleson

 Some things to know about and pray for Jordan:

"My name is Jordan and I recently graduated from the University of
Illinois at Chicago with a degree in Elementary Education.  I am
excited to start this next chapter of my life!  After much thought and
prayer I have decided to commit a year to ministry on college campuses
through an internship with Campus Crusade for Christ on the Chicago
Metro Team.



Campus Crusade is a faith-based, non-profit organization that focuses
on helping college students WALK by faith, COMMUNICATE their faith,
and MULTIPLY their faith.  As a student, I was very involved in CRU at
UIC and grew in my relationship with the Lord.  I was able to be
mentored by amazing women who truly challenged me in my faith and
helped me to make decisions for my life that were God-centered.

My hope is that I can be a mentor to college girls and make a
difference in their lives. 

I will be working one-on-one with college
girls, leading bible studies, sharing my faith with students,
assisting other CRU staff with managing movements on campuses,
planning outreaches, and attending conferences that include: Fall
Retreat, INDY CC Winter Conference, Big Break Spring Break Trip, and
staffing a Summer Project."

Cast your Bread.

Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days. Ecclesiastes 11:1

This truth is so encouraging and i am seeing it come to fruition in ART. Some ART pursuits take more time than others to take root, grow, and bloom.... to return to me, but.....THEY ARE. :)

Here are some CrackerJax hopefuls I dropped off today.

Closeups :) 

Here's a wearing option :)

May your Soulspeak and Sing! :)
