What is one small way you took care of yourself: drank water, stretched, took a nap, said “no,” sat in silence. Self-care is essential for a healthy and creative mind and body.

Today I slowed myself down long enough to really see a simple salad—the layers of greens, the pop of red, the softness, the crunch, the way textures sit beside each other instead of competing. It surprised me how much inspiration was right there in something so ordinary. It reminded me that color balance, contrast, and negative space matter just as much in my creative work as they do on a plate. This felt like training my artist’s eye in the most unexpected place.

A tiny scrap. A soft intention. A creative circle that holds us all. - Create a 4" circle that symbolizes the spirit of this community. - It can be created from any material you wish, like paper, fabric, clay, leather, etc. - When finished, photograph your piece and upload it as part of a comment you leave on this post. - Answer these two questions in the same comment: 1. What inspired your design? What one blessing would you wish for this community as the year comes to an end? - You will be able to find this post at any time by clicking on the Monthly Club Project category tab. - Deadline is December 30th - Participation in this community is optional but always encouraged.
