Being Creative for Mental Health
Are you new to Art by Jenny? Hello! Welcome to my arty world :) Wondering why I call craft supplies 'Arty Treasures'? Simples! Like one fabulous pirate once said, not all treasure is silver and gold, rubies or sparkly rocks... unless it is paint, Stickles or texture paste! lol :)
Being creative using art and craft supplies are an essential to life and my most favourites things to do. I love to paint, collage, doodle, colour in, stamp, use stencils, blend colours, splatter a mess, cut and tear paper, as well as embroider and crochet! It makes me feel good!
All kinds of creativity will soothe the frazzled mind, help calm the soul, help heal the heart, tries hard to encourage the brain to think beyond the pain, stress, panic, illness, fear, negatives of the world. Simply create whatever and however it makes you smile - and do it often.
In our world, there are so many people who create in amazing ways - sewing with fabrics and paper, painting with yarns and threads, sculpting with clay, crafting incredible animals with salvaged metal, gardening, drawing in the sand, carving ice, stone or wood, making furniture by hand, painting silos!
There is no limit to how we can be creative, for our mental health, to learn new things, for entertainment and to make yourself and other people smile!
Having a shop full of arty treasures enables me to keep sane while at the same time, sharing my love of crafts with you. Everything is better shared! Thank you so much for visiting Art by Jenny and being part of my arty crafty world!
Have a creative Happy day! Stay safe, keep cool and be crafty!
:)
