Creating something new to me has always been such a huge eye opener. I rarely think about how much effort, time and money goes into things that normally everyone over looks. I guess this is a good thing- that I am delving deeper into assessing objects and people. But this skill is something that no one can just wake up and have. That's probably the reason I started my blog- I wanted to push myself to see if I could create something out of words rather than relying on photographs and drawings (so sorry for everyone who has commented on my work- which is all really sweet!) To be bored by what most people do on blogs: write things that mean things to them, and may not be what you as a reader want to hear!
So I wanted to generalise this post a bit, make it something most people have to have an opinion on one way or the other! Everyone has some outlet for their creativity: whether it is food, drawing, painting, writing or just simply dreaming of the future. I think the most imaginative is what everyone living person can do- dream. I has no boundaries, you don't even have to put the effort, time, money and risks into play when dreaming! It always fascinates me when psychiatrists look into people's dreams and can infer from that the reasons why they have that dream and what is effecting them in their life.
Food is always something everyone has opinions on; of course it would differ depending on the people you would talk to: the comments would be so different from say a Chef and a normal 5 year old! But for me it always has caught my imagination; trying new flavours, textures, recipes! (I think I may make a couple of posts about some things I have made- if they are successful at least! But I think part of the creative element is getting ready for the attempts you feel aren't the best choice ever!) I know I watch the TV and instantly become absorbed by things like 'Master Chef' and 'Heston's Feasts'. Both are so different from each other: Master Chef shows how ordinary people can achieve such masterpieces if they are determined and have that natural talent, while Heston's Feasts really show how creative you can get with food. (Although sometimes I do think he takes it too far! But none the less still something that leaves me in awe of him and his work!) I guess I use the terms "masterpieces" and "work" as though they are pieces of art: but to me food is art. Food is another way of expressing yourself - if you think about modern day art, those sculptures that look as if they could be made by me! Sell for millions! So something so sophisticated and delicate as Michelin-star food is to me art.
Writing is something I wish I could do better! I mean I do try my hardest to create fluency, but I don't think I do that as well as some others may have! I really aspire to be someone who can express themselves through all medias and technologies. And create a persona that entitles them to who they truly are, being themselves (as I call it not being a "sheep").
So please leave comments on who personally inspires you and what makes your imagination run wild!

Beautiful post :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure WHO inspires me, but I know that seeing something amazing, like a great movie might. Or reading, or listening to music. Or just going out and about, like to the pebble beach on a rainy day.
