My Genius Looks Like a Forest Fairy

July 31, 2010

I never felt like I was going to lose my mind nor thought my work was the result of genius by any means, but I have looked at finished pieces of my mixed media art and jewelry and wondered: "Where did that come from?"  "Who did this?"  "How did I make that?"  "Can I do something as wonderful again?"  Now I will know that I had help and my little creative genius will return again.  I just have to keep stepping into my studio to grab my tools and get to work.

The author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert has thought long and hard about some large topics. Her next fascination: genius, and how we ruin it.

What does your genius look like?
