Our invitation was to play with alcohol inks and various tools and just see what would happen. Four grown women sat around a table in joyous fellowship talking about adulting and relationships and food and dreams while the motley alcohol ink continuously taught us to stay open, embrace the imperfections &amp; trust the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often get quiet when I&#8217;m in creative flow, and sitting there, listening to these brilliant women share stories and joys and sorrows while moving color around the page without expectations, I floated along in creative flow right to my zen. Tina would look over and say, &#8220;Elizabeth Shepley, are you alright?!,&#8221; and I&#8217;d answer with a smile and shrug, &#8220;I&#8217;m fantastic.&#8221; It was a social gathering, and the creative process was deeply solitary. The community connection was a balm that took me to another level as I messed around with colors on the page. Who needs plant medicine?! Below is my capture from the other side of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I could&#8217;ve curled up and taken a blissful nap from there, but I looked around at the abundance of creative fodder around me and flipped over a sheet of photo paper and collaged on the other side. There was a suggested theme of PRIDE in the creation process, and rainbows hold a special place for me as it goes, so as an ally, I embraced the invitation. This collage just happened. No planning. Just snipping rainbow colors from corners and remnants, and then the phrase showed itself: &#8220;Beautiful by Design.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so it was. And you are. And I am. And we are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s been a while. Let&#8217;s have a virtual creative play date. <a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZYsd-moqD4oG9DE4OjCnaOgs8J1cqhLEYlG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to register for July&#8217;s Jamboree.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-762x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-762x1024.jpeg 762w, https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-223x300.jpeg 223w, https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-768x1032.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-1143x1536.jpeg 1143w, https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-1524x2048.jpeg 1524w, https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-1080x1452.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/owl-create.com\/staging\/5086\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_9095-scaled.jpeg 1904w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago, I had the joy of attending an in-person artsy playdate hosted by my good friend &amp; fellow creative shenaniganizer, Tina Riley Imaginariums.
