5-Minute Flash of Creative Freedom & Fun
My latest 5-minute flash of creative freedom & fun! |
I’m always looking for new ways to weave a littlelow-pressure creativity into my life and share it with others looking to do thesame. Though I’m blessed to experience lots of creative satisfaction through myCreative Oasis Coaching work, I still want to practice what I preach and exploreall manner of creativity for the sheer joy of it. Even a short burst of creativeplay can infuse our busy days with an amazing feeling of freedom and fun!
Although I’m a singer/songwriter and a creativity coach, Idon’t consider myself a visual artist. Nevertheless, I love to play with artsupplies, compile collages, dabble in photography and explore other forms ofarts and crafts.

The latest, greatest way I’ve found to enjoy a quick flashof creative freedom is by using an app called “Over” on my iPhone. Last week Itook a photo of my calendar (I love the Japanese Woodblock images), thenwrote a quick haiku inspired by the shot and finally used the “Over” app tocombine them to create the image you see above which I then posted on Instagram (creativeoasiscoach).I'm so happy with the way it turned out. The project took about five minutes from start tofinish and was super easy and fun to do.
Today we have hundreds (if not thousands) of great,easy-to-use apps (many of them free) literally at our fingertips. I’ll continueto share my favorite findings with you as I search for the best and brightest thatallow us to infuse a burst of creative energy into our busy lives.
BTW - I’m not an affiliate or associated with “Over” or“iPhone” in any way. Just like to share what’s working for me creatively in thehopes you might enjoy exploring it as well.
If you have a favorite app you use to add a little creative play to your day, I’d love to hear about it in the comment section below.
