Tuesday Treasure Tips

Follow Your Curiosity

Before you decide what today’s project should become, take a moment to look through your papers.

Notice where you linger.

Maybe you love a small flower tucked into a border. Try framing it with a scrap. Maybe a printed doorway makes you wonder what could be hidden behind a flap.

Follow one of those thoughts far enough to try it with paper. Fold something. Move something. Make a small sample.

You may discover a new idea, or simply learn that you liked the flower better on its own.

Either way, you’ve spent a little time discovering what appeals to you. That’s useful creative work, too.

Try This Today

Find one detail in a printed page that catches your attention. Make a small tag around it, choosing each new piece by asking, “What would I like to try beside this?”
