Crafty?
Creative?
The word “crafty” gives a different feel than the word “creative”. Similar, but not the same.
Stamping.
Letterpress.
Another two words that could be easily exchanged… But are different. Similar, but not the same.
I have stamps. I have VERY cute letter stamps. In my craft cabinet.
Today I worked with paint and wood *stamps* and really strong magnets and this tray-thing for the letters… and a big roller…
And I felt CREATIVE.
Not crafty.
I felt CREATIVE.
*insert poetry reading snaps here*
Not that “crafty” isn’t a desirable descriptive…
But there’s something about being A Creative… as opposed to being crafty…
I played with those images… filters and cropping and light. Shadows and depth… Something I think a Creative might do.
I am Into the Woods this weekend. Enjoying a different sort of creativity… instead of using my words to get my creative on… I got to use letters to create words… on paper. A story of color and texture and spacing…
It all felt so yummy, I almost could have licked that letterpress. But I didn’t.
I really didn’t.
I didn’t hug her either. I totally wanted to though…

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
