January 2026 Creative Play<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I started a project at the guild called Creative Play. This was loosely based on a concept I had during COVID<\/a> that kind of petered out. It was also inspired by a quote I read in Libs Elliott’s newsletter. The quote is “I have made a promise to myself that I will make time for creative play in 2026. Because, when work gets overwhelming, I find joy in taking even just a bit of time for myself to experiment and try something different without an end goal in mind.”<\/p>\n

I am determined to have it take off this time and so far, so good.<\/p>\n

I started out by handing out the rectangles in the center. Cyndi took it and added the orange border. That is an amazing choice. I don’t think I would have thought of it, but I love it. The orange has an interesting texture as well.<\/p>\n

I handed the piece to Sue next and she added the half square triangles. I am really pleased with the work so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
