My Creative Process

 Welcome back! In this week's article I wanted to share the steps to my own creative process! If you have any questions feel free to contact me through my Instagram @mandys.mystical.market

When it comes to making original artwork, there are several steps that are involved in the process. I don’t just “come up with ideas,” there’s more to it than that. There’s a process to creating cool things which I like to call the creative process. Each person may have different steps in their own process because we all create differently! But for now I am going to share the steps to my creative process. 

First, I find inspiration. I can find inspiration from pictures or videos I see online such as trends. I can also find inspiration from what I see people wearing around me, and I can also be inspired by a vision I had by myself for a new piece of art. 

After figuring out what I would like to make, such as deciding on making a bag or a ring. I then come up with a vision or a plan. Making a vision could consist of deciding what colors, beads, shapes, or sizes I want to use in my piece! Creating a plan helps me better understand what I am aiming to make. It also makes it easier for me to actually bring my plan to life. 

Lastly, I put it all together and actually create the piece. This is easier said than done. This step often takes a lot of trial and error. Oftentimes the plan I’ve made for myself doesn’t quite work out or look like what I expected it to look like. In that case I go back to the drawing board and try again with a new plan. Other times my plan does work! I end up with a beautiful piece of new artwork that I’m excited to share!

Creating new things isn’t easy or perfect. It’s a process and it takes time, practice, and patience. But never give up! You’ll find a way to make your own special thing too!
