Part of being a creative person is to notice with wonder the many small things in life that are wonderful. Here for example is a wonderful design on the back of a new frying pan, beautiful silver segments forming an almost labyrinthical (yes, and create new words too if necessary) design absorbing the colours of its surroundings and reflecting that beauty back out to the viewer.Alternatively just look inside your coffee cup, best if its the frothy kind or even a hot chocolate and see, when you've finished drinking your chosen hot (or cold) beverage, what the froth, or chocolate, has left behind. There can be all kinds of shapes, symbols, letters even. I do enjoy observing these shapes and though I have trained my eye to see images that perhaps my friends cannot, I do not consider myself to be a professional coffee/ chocolate reader who will assign meaning to the shapes seen in the cup.
Here's the wonderful chocolate picture from today's hot chocolate. At the top there is a lovely heart shape. To the right of this is a suggestion of a paint brush. Below the heart is a smaller heart and then below this can be seen the suggestion of a standing figure rising up out of a crescent chocolate moon where other mysterious figures reside, man or beast who's to say. What can you see?
Anyway, I offer this is a simple suggestion as a playful means of bringing creative observation and fun into your life. Enjoy!! Who knows what you might find in there ...
