Overview

Creativity is essentially nothing more than awareness: the ability to take notice, to pay attention, to perceive, to examine, to probe, to weigh, to study, to look, and to heed. A big part of creativity is discovery, and the natural world is one big treasure hunt, full of potential, possibility, and priceless possessions.

Natural Creativity will interest craftspeople and artists of all ages, and van be used to promote family projects. It teaches how to rediscover awareness, appreciation, and reverence for every little thing in life. It shows us ways to exercise natural creativity, using nature's raw materials to make natural crafts, thereby integrating personal creativity and ingenuity with nature. In addition, the book raises awareness about America's early settlers with tales and information that heighten the appreciation of traditional American crafts.
