On a Rampage

Greetings! Welcome to Creative Rampage. I've been trying for a couple months to get this blog going, but getting bogged down in the details of how I want it to work. That and trying to keep up with all the wonderful new tools and widgets that Blogger has been giving us...most of which I still have no clue how to use! But that's me, and although I haven't figured out some things, I decided to just start posting while I'm working out the photography part.

Creative Rampage is for all the creative crafts-people out there...the artists, wood-crafters, and other do-it-yourselfers. My goal is to inspire and encourage you go on your own creative rampage, to take your ideas and turn them into finished projects that can enhance your world. I'll be sharing some of the projects I'm working on for my own home.

So, what is a creative rampage? It starts as a mental surge of creativity where ideas suddenly start exploding and tumbling all over the place like rocks down a mountainside. One great project idea sets off another, and then another, and another until you have an avalanche of ideas for new projects. It can get a bit crazy at times. I'm not sure which is worse, having no ideas or too many!

The creative process cycles for most people, with phases of high-creativity followed by phases of low creativity--or dry spells, we call them. Lately I've been in a state of hyper-creativity where I'm practically bouncing off the walls with ideas for projects. Rather than suppress them, I decided to go on an all out rampage--a creative rampage--and do as many of these projects as I can until the creative steam runs out. And, I'm inviting You to join me...so, come on!

Join the Rampage,
Get Creative!

Yea, Paula! Thanks for visiting. Cool to know you're on board. I plan to have loads of fun with this blog. It's all about expending that creative energy. Now if I can get those photos loaded we'll really be in business.

Now if we could just get the rest of the world to go on a Creative Rampage... imagine if only half the energy that is now expended on destruction was instead expended on creativity, what would happen?

My artist friend, thanks for visiting. Wouldn't it be great?We'd have a more beautiful, harmonic world, I'd say. Wasn't this really what the 60's was all about? Unleashing one's inherent creativity?
