Creative Art and Soul

The name Creative Art and Soul stems from my lifelong desire to unleash that nagging creativity bug, to produce something hip, cultural and expressive, and my willingness to look deep within my soul to find out exactly what I am made of and what fulfills me. My posts will focus mainly on cultural symbolism as symbols convey an emotion, an affirmation, a statement, a story, a belief, a history, an interest, a moral, an era, an achievement, a sense of community or belonging, pride, a call for action, a lifestyle, a reminder, or a personal sense of being. I hope you enjoy my posts of symbolism, inspiration, affirmation, and color! Oh, and pretty pictures too!

"If only bananas had robust, natural, bio-degradable packaging of their own. Some sort of peelable skin, perhaps."

I scored ~100 lbs of mostly vintage stained glass sheets on Craigslist for a great price! This is going to make a lot of mosaics! I also got a glass grinder, extra tools, circle cutter, solder, copper foil, foiler, books and patterns and some kick-ass vintage safety glasses! #mosaicart #stainedglass #etsyshop #mosaicsupplies #creativeartandsoul #crafty #craftsupplies #artsandcrafts #CraigslistScore

My etched (sandblasted) glass display at the Shepherdstown Community Club Handmade Market. I just purchased the wood crates last week from Home Depot online. Happily, they arrived very quickly with just enough time to stain them a dark walnut color in time for the show. I also just bought 4 new dark chocolate brown fitted tablecloths to replace the old faded ones I had been using. These are a welcome improvement! #Shepherdstown #ShepherdstownHandmadeMarket #etsy #creativeartandsoul #etsyshop #creativeartandsoul #craftbooth #craftshowdisplay #craftshow #craftshowbooth #etchedglass #glasswaredisplay #etchedglassdisplay #woodcrates #woodcratedisplay
