This piece of packaging was on its way to the recycling bin when the curse of the creative eye took hold and I ended up roaming round the house using it as a frame.
Creating collages of crafts and techniques I’ve previously tried is my plan for looking at what direction I want to go next.
I do admire you ladies that have a particular talent and build on it. I’m more of a Jack of all trades and master of none.
You can see more of my collages in the last blog post.
Never underestimate yourself Lynn you are marvellous at what you do. We all have an inner thirst for creativity, there's so much loveliness around us. Just like you saving that packaging and using it to frame the world around. So inspiring!

That's such a great way of looking at things differently - you have such a clever way with ideas and art. I'm so pleased that the bunting was ok...please don't worry about pics, the poor gal must be overwhelmed at the moment with a new baby (I know I was!)

Hi Lynne, interesting you saying about being a 'Jack of all trades'. A friend posted something about that on FB today, and apparently, the 'Master of None' was added at a later date. The actual Jack of all trades part was originally a high compliment to a person who had taken the time to learn a variety of different skills to a good level. It seems the Master of none was added , probably by disgruntled Master skillspeople! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 X
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea you had using that to frame all sorts....you have such an artistic eye.

Morning Lynne. Your post is lovely - and being creative is most definitely NOT a curse - You are a highly creative person, and have a beautiful style - all your own. You are unique and created in the image of a creator God - weyhey!!! - that means you simply have no option but to create - good, hey??? I'm with Shaz - Jack of all trades is a compliment!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Nothing wrong with being a jack of all trades and master of none - that's how I describe myself. Methinks it's a lot more interesting and enjoyable than doing one thing only. I love your collages and your use of the packaging material - shows your creative side.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of using that packaging like that - you have a gift which I wish I also possessed. We are all individuals which makes us different and imagine if we were all the same - how boring life would become.
ReplyDeleteStay as you are Lynne, we all love you for being you.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
You're good at everything, don't do yourself down, Mrs!!!
ReplyDeleteJust look at what an eye you have. That first image is worthy of framing.
My creative mojo finally returned yesterday - hooray! Photos to follow (depending on Jon's mood.) xxx
The things one can do with 'trash'... those photos are just lovely Lynne! It's not a curse, it's a talent... I'm glad you use it to the limits so we can get inspired by you! Happy woyww and a big hug from stormy Holland. Marit #19
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use the packaging! I think being a jack of all trades is a very positive thing. It means you aren't afraid of trying new things and expanding on your talents. Great going, I say!!

ReplyDeleteI think we all do things like that! most of mine just sits in a (large) pile waiting. Helen #4
ReplyDeleteMrs. Creative Eye, that's you down to a t, Lynn. Only you could think of using a piece of packaging as a frame. Love those photos, I'm especially drawn to that last one! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann. It’s funny the things we find to distract us from what we are supposed to be doing isn’t it haha xxx
DeleteWhat a lovely blog post Lynn, I love your take on things, you are such a creative person. I know that whatever you choose to do next will be inspiring and beautiful.

Cor Lynn, I admire you! Silly! The things you do, see, your style and inventiveness...I think you have an INNATE skill and you dont see it. My word, youre the sort of person I’d like to be when I grow up. That packaging..well, it took me a while to work out which bit was the packaging..like one of those brain tests that i erm, keep failing!!
ReplyDeleteI love this post!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented and creative, I love your blog x
Thank you lovely one, you are kind xx
DeleteI can see why you kept the box, love it. Unfortunately I love lots of boxes and find it difficult to throw them away Lol! They might just have a use somewhere along the line. Have a great woyww, Angela x15x
ReplyDeleteI love the perspective that the box gives as a frame Lynn. I love your eclectic style of crafting (master of much!). Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
