Create Some Magic!

"Magic cannot be created without inspiration.  There needs to be a spark to ignite the process and intention of creating objects that hypnotize and captivate".

Cynthia Thornton, Mixed Media Artist, owner of Green Girl Studios and author of Enchanted Adornments, a step-by-step project book for creating mixed-media jewelry with metal clay, wire, resin and more.  

What inspires you?  What ignites that little spark in you that pushes you forward to create magic? I'm continually thinking about the things in my life that cultivate creativity, and it's not just one specific person, place or thing that gets me going.  It's a collaboration of several special elements - the beauty of nature; informative resources, such as the lovely book Enchanted Adornments; elegant vintage style; the support of my dear family and friends; and a vision to complete something that makes people happy and myself proud.  Along the way, every day, I have to learn to believe in myself to allow the creative process to flow freely.  I truly want my creations to "hypnotize and captivate", but in order for this to occur, I must be confident in my concepts and ideas.  Some projects are challenging, and never come to full fruition.  But those projects serve as learning opportunities to become a better artist and more seasoned student.  Other projects exceed expectations.  These are the projects, I believe, that are created with true inspiration.  So get out there and explore what lights that fire within you.  Chances are, you already know what it is; just embrace it and go create some magic for the world to enjoy!

A MAGIC FLOWER JUST FOR YOU!
