Music is such a powerful inspiration for me as well. Amazing how you can access your imagination so vividly from a random song. Do you capture these visions somehow? </p>DanetteWed, 14 Jan 2009 23:55:59 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5134006<p>Thank you! Children really provide us with that invitation to sit and explore creatively don't they? </p>DanetteWed, 14 Jan 2009 23:52:42 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5133973<p>Yeah, the cologne just seems wrong...and waxy. I still buy coloring books, and keep them beside the television for commercial breaks. There is nothing like getting lost in color...</p>DanetteWed, 14 Jan 2009 23:50:37 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5133906<p>I do!

Sometimes I will hear a new song and it illuminates a fictional scene in my head I've never seen before, like a music video. I've gotten an entire novel idea from a song randomly caught off the radio before...</p>KellyeWed, 14 Jan 2009 11:06:15 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5113714<p>Beautifully written Danette! I, too, adore sitting down with my 5 year old and exploring the creative possiblities with a new box of crayons! I hope its one of the memories she carries into adulthood....</p>MVLawrenceWed, 14 Jan 2009 11:00:59 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5105527<p>I love crayons too - One of my favorite things to do with my daughters is get lost in coloring because of the beauty of it.</p><p>I don't know about that cologne though....would you smell like an elementary school teacher :)</p>ChristopherTue, 13 Jan 2009 22:30:07 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-smell-of-crayons-tapping-into-your-creative-freedom/#comment-5104486<p>You do workshops like this?

I can smell the crayons from here. And from now on I am chucking the markers at my workshops- crayons is definitely the way to go. Thanks,</p>pearl_mattensonTue, 13 Jan 2009 21:43:30 -0000
