Blots as a creative exercise

in #creativity7 years ago

Hi, guys!

Seems like my yesterday new purchases started a new hobby in my life. I heard before that if you buy one creative notebook you'll never stop afterwards (well, at least you have a high chance on that), and seems like I've been caught here. I'm already thinking about what else I can order in my favorite books market.

Yesterday I also was filling some pages of these new diaries, and what I must say - they really have some magical effect on me. This process is somehow close to meditation, and since I'm not a fan of classic versions of meditation I use alternatives. Doodling is one of them, by the way, and I would really like to have another sketchbook with blots. At the moment I'm thinking about making one myself. 

There's a really great exercise for artists. You make a blot, and then you think how you can finish it to to create a drawing. This exercise is really great for making your imagination work better. So, I looked for such notebook, and they really existed, but they're all sold. OK, may be I'll wait for another edition. Or will really just do it myself:)

I wish you all the best and will be happy if you'll support me with vote:)

Love, Inber

good friends, I really support my best friend.

Hmmmm good

My notebook addiction got so bad that I was actually able to sell half of them for a profit. It is amazing the things you can find in the clearance sections of some stores.

Never thought to start with a blot :) I normally live in the world of words and numbers. Looking forward to trying this.

Good hobbies are very good, they help to distract the mind, and I'm glad you're doing well with your diaries, happy Sunday
