Epoxy Resin Creations Bring Solace & Satisfaction…

”
Collaboration is key to creativity, but exceptional creativity
often happens in solitude. Many great artistic masterpieces were done in
isolation. Elizabeth Bishop, an American poet and short-story writer
believed that everyone should experience at least one prolonged period
of
solitude in life. Being alone doesn’t have to be the same thing as being bored or lonely,” ‘The Science of Silence: How Solitude Enriches Creative Work’ by Thomas Oppong

Whether your creative medium is
epoxy resin
like our Epoxy Pros; or words, my preferred outlet, most creative types
really excel when they enjoy some quiet time. I know from my own
experience, that when I “clear my head,” be it by taking a walk,
enjoying a scenic vista or putting on some mellow music and letting my
mind wander – that’s when the ideas come fast and furious.

That’s not to say that collaborative and social time can’t be
creative. Group artistic sessions can be very festive and interactive
however, most serious artists seem to reach their best levels of
creative expression on their own. Or, as Mr. Oppong puts it, “The best
creative minds are flexible, and
spend quality time working alone, but they don’t ignore the value of other ideas.”

Resin Creation – by Design…

Solitude, and the results thereof, don’t happen by accident. For
creativity to flow, distractions and interruptions need to be minimized.
Checking a few items off of a daily task list before you begin the
creative process is a good place to start. The knowledge that those
accomplishments are behind you will help you focus. And digitally – turn
off the phone and any computer reminders and “pings” for a while – you
and your muse will be happy you did!

We know from our experiences with our customers, our Epoxy Pros, that
they get their inspiration from all kinds of sources. For some, it’s
from speaking with other crafters and artisans that sparks ideas; while
for others they often take one passion and combine it with another –
such as a love of the ocean and a passion for creativity as expressed by
Amy Alderman and her business
Aloha by Aldy…

“The ocean has always brought me tranquility. Whether I’m sitting on the beach or swimming in the
surf, the sound & movement of the waves revitalize my spirit. I
feel this same energy when creating my work. To bring together the
inspirations of nature and my passion to create
is a dream come true.” – Amy

We hear you Amy – and we agree!
