focus on life: doorways
Doorways. The subject of this weeks Focus on Life series with Studio Sublime. I struggled until realizing that one of my most frequently used doorways is the door to creativity.
For me, the threshold is crossed when immersing myself in an inspiring book, periodical or my art journal. And, of course, the ultimate threshold is actually diving in, grabbing a brush and beginning the journey.
That's my doorway. What's yours?
I love this post. I just love how people think outside of the box when it comes to these challenges, it makes me think and see things in such a different way!
ReplyDeleteHo Lori,
ReplyDeleteI like your take on this prompt and not literally using a door, but yet a door way of the mind into your talent.

I love your concept of doorways!!! Good job!!
ReplyDeleteGreat. Your portal to creativity starts with the tools. Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteFirst off thanks for the visit and following I'm honored "-".. What a wonderful concept, now that you've mention it:):). its my favorite door too. I go in and just begin to create, music playing in the background, soothes me and really help me to embark on my journey. I do love old door ways with the big scrolled hinges,and a beautiful iron handle.. Thanks for sharing and making us think. Have a great weekend...
ReplyDeleteGreat creative concept! I was going to use the door to our library, thinking along the same lines, but it's so ugly!! :-(
ReplyDeleteI love the way you did it.
Great post Lori, and awesome photos! You are inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWhat an obvious and beautiful reminder that we all have that doorway to our creativity. Yours is always overflowing with loveliness.

ReplyDeleteExactly...doorways to creativity are everywhere...thanks for the reminder of that!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love your journey's.
ReplyDeleteLori, your door is one of my favorites! :-) To get lost through the doorway in a book is a favorite of mine and to step through the doorway as I create and learn leads me 'home', to my soul.
ReplyDeleteLove your shot of the brushes...You are always inspiring to me, now if I would just 'clear' the way to my doorway, I just might find something! xo
ReplyDeleteI too see books as doorways. Knowledge moves us forward in our lives and books are a great doorway to knowledge.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Lori! Love the photo of the books and the brushes!
ReplyDeleteI just love this post. I wavered between the door to my studio or my front door. I finally decided that my front door looked cooler.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, books! The doorways to everything! Great pick
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteLove the glimpse the stack of books gave us into your passions. From needlepoint to CS5 and Country Living, all connected by your creative spirit!
