Do you get lost when you're creating? For me it's a magical place where time and responsibility do not exist. Problems, issues and stress fade away as I engage in the creation. All thought is on the piece in front of me, whether it be raw clay, making a necklace, raw metals, sawing, hammering or just glazing beads. It truly is a wonderful escape.

I definitely do get lost when I'm creating - I can very much relate to what you say about time "not existing" while I'm in that moment, completely absorbed in what I'm doing. This link is interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
Might have a bit of a think about this and post something on my own blog rather than take over your comments section too much!!
Super cute earrings Kelli, and the bracelet too!
My messy house is proof I get lost in creating!!!!
You are so right about getting lost in creating. It is a wonderful and magical place to be.
Beautiful bracelet and earrings.
I'm right there with Stacilouise...my house is a complete testament to how lost I get when creating ;) But oh, it's so worth it! LOL
Yep, I get totally lost in my daydreams while creating. Time goes by so fast. Hunger brings me back to reality usually!
Yes, I totally get lost in creating..... I haven't exactly been filled with a life of peace, so to me, it is a very special time where I am at peace and my focus is on creating something special. I love the bracelet and earrings!! How cool that you have now actually had your own first firing and created from that. Fantastic!!!!
