All these years, I never stopped to ponder my collecting of stuff … almost all of it seems to be art related, though I consider myself more of a writer.
The Practically Creative Quarterly discusses all aspects of creativity and is currently featuring a theme: Collections.
Look around you … your carefully-placed favorite ink pens, your collection of poetry (yours and other poets’), beautifully-crafted hand-made papers, beads, photos, fabric, postcards (blank or used), newspaper clippings, CDs, Doonesbury cartoons, etc.
The site discusses various aspects (with images) of how we like to gather and put things in order so that we make our art/writing/music, etc., in a much more productive way … including those of us who just toss things in a pile.
Enjoy!
