As a child, it seemed that I didn't have a creative bone in my body. I couldn't draw a straight line (I still can't, even with a ruler). As hard as I tried, I couldn't color in the lines (I still can't). Let's not talk about the sewing I did in Home Ec.
My attempts at creativity was a hot mess.
Fast forward to 1992 when my friend, Suzanne, showed me basic crochet stitches. After getting it down, I ran wild with it. Fast forward a few more years when Mrs. Margaret encouraged me to pick up my first paint brush. My cramming four years of college into five honed my creativity with words.
All I needed was someone to encourage me. All I needed was someone to tell me that I could do it. All I needed was for someone to show me the basics, but allow me to throw away the rules and adapt it to my style.
Maybe creativity does come from nature somewhat, but it needs to be nurtured in order to thrive and make something beautiful.
