Art in Progress
Art has played a crucial role in self-care practices throughout the years. From the soothing act of crocheting to the therapeutic process of baking and the calming effects of watercolor painting, cooking, and calligraphy, art has served as a reliable outlet for releasing pent-up emotions and fostering a sense of well-being. Engaging in artistic endeavors has the power to uplift one's spirits and provide a much-needed escape from the challenges of everyday life. It allows individuals to navigate through their thoughts and emotions, offering a respite from the demands and stresses of the world. Art, in all its forms, has become an essential tool for self-care, promoting personal growth, relaxation, and inner peace.
caligraphy
I picked up a caligraphy kit at my local bookstore to develop a monetizable skill to enhance my daily writing aesthetic and to add a personal warm to my crochet business and gifts. Join me on this journey through my blogs and Instagram reels.
water coloring
In November of 2o23, I took my first water coloring class on meet-up for free. As an admirer of abstract art, I happened to gravitate towards mixing diluted pastel colors on a white backdrop to code and release emotions. Whats your favorite art expression?
crocheting
I have been crocheting for about 15 years now. I learned this skill as a kid when I saw an elderly woman crocheting at the back of a community center. It piqued my interest-the speed at which she twisted just one needle to form an unraveling length of soft woven light green cloth. Would you like to learn to crochet online?
