Tanker om kreativitet – og mine 365 moodboards

Da jeg i juledagene pludselig fik den fuldstændigt – synes jeg selv – geniale idé at vise 365 moodboards i 2014, havde jeg ingen idé om, hvad jeg gik ind til…

Og på sin vis tager jeg stadig en dag af gangen og ser, hvad det udvikler sig til.

Men nogle dage er det sværere end andre at lægge et moodboard. De dage, hvor jeg tilbringer hele dagen med kreative sysler, er det oftere lige til (hvis jeg ellers husker at tage billeder undervejs i processen), men selvfølgelig er der dage, hvor jeg slet ikke er i kontakt med noget kreativt, og hvor jeg “liiiiiige” skal trylle et kreativt moodboard – og et blogindlæg – frem før sengetid.

Rigtig mange forbinder kreativitet med opfindelsen af den dybe tallerken – og i så fald kan det være svært at opfinde 365 dybe tallerkener på et år…

Min definition af kreativitet

For nyligt fik jeg et spørgsmål via facebook (har både en dansk og en engelsk facebookside) om, hvilken definition jeg anvender på kreativitet – og her er mit umiddelbare svar:

“Super interessant spørgsmål. Jeg har ingen klar definition, men jeg ser kreativitet som en skaberproces, hvor du skaber noget ud af nogle råvarer eller dig selv.

Kreativitet er for mig både processen i at lave vidunderligt velsmagende, farverig mad, skønne kager, billedkunst, musikstykker, tøj osv.

For mig er det ikke produktet der er det vigtige, men selve skaberprocessen. Og for mig behøver det ikke handle om at opfinde den dybe tallerken, men mere at gå ind i det flow, hvor følelsen af tid og sted forsvinder, fordi man er opslugt af en kreativ skaber proces… Kærlig hilsen Susanne”

Jeg elsker at føle kreativt flow

Flow er topmålet af beskæftigelse for mig. Følelsen af at være opslugt af nuet og det at glemme alt andet end lige her og nu… Som i en slags meditativ tilstand.

Jeg har altid nydt at hygge mig – og været ret ligeglad med, hvad jeg har hygget mig med… Og nogle gange har jeg hygget mig så meget – som til blogtræffet i Dankbar for nyligt – så jeg næsten ikke har fået lavet noget – og de dage eeeeeeeelsker jeg mindst lige så meget som de dage, hvor jeg har været produktiv!!!

Mine 365 moodboards hjælper mig til at fastholde følelsen af kreativt flow.

Selvom moodboardene nogle gange er voldsomt opstillede, selvom kreagrejet nogle gange kun er lagt frem for at blive fotograferet og derefter splittet i atomer igen, så hjælper moodboardene mig med at holde fast i min mission om at leve kreativt.

[Det skønneste kreative rod mødte mig, da jeg gik ind i mit krearum i morges… Og bordet ser præcis sådan ud her til aften]

Stort set samme moodboard i går og i dag

Og for stort set første gang har mine moodboards lignet hinanden i går og i dag, fordi jeg har lavet præcis den samme kreative syssel både i går og i dag, nemlig muffinsformerosetter til familie og venner som værtindegaver her i påsken…

Men uanset hvordan mine moodboards ser ud, så håber jeg, at de kan inspirere både dig og mig til at få mere kreativitet og kreativt flow ind i vores liv.

Hvad betyder kreativitet for dig?

Jeg vil være taknemmelig for, hvis du vil dele dine tanker omkring kreativitet med mig ♥

Kærlig hilsen Susanne

My days can look like each other

Thoughts about creativity – and my 365 mood boards

When I during the Christmas holidays suddenly got the – according to myself – brilliant idea to show 365 mood boards in 2014, I had no idea what I was getting into…

And in a way, I still take one day at a time and see where it leads to.

But some days are harder than others to put up a mood board. The days where I spend all day with creative processes, it is more easy to put up a mood board (if I remember to take pictures during the process), but of course there are days where I am not in contact with something creative at all, and I “just” have to arrange a creative mood board – and a blog post – before bedtime.

Many associate creativity with the invention of the wheel – and if so, it can be difficult to invent 365 wheels in one year…

My definition of creativity

Recently I received a question via facebook (have both a Danish and an English facebook page) about which definition I use of creativity – and here is my response:

“Very interesting question. I have no clear definition, but I see creativity as a creative process where you create something out of some raw materials or yourself.

To me, creativity is both the process of making wonderfully tasty, colorful food, delicious cakes, visual arts, music pieces, clothing etc.

For me it’s not the product that is important, but the creating process. And for me it does not have anything to do about inventing the wheel, but more the feeling of flow where the sense of time and place disappear because you are absorbed in a creative process while creating… Love Susanne”

I love to feel creative flow

Flow is the height of employment for me. The feeling of being absorbed in the present and forgetting everything else than right here and now… As in a kind of meditative state.

My 365 mood boards helps me to maintain the sense of creative flow.

Although the mood boards sometime are difficult to put up, although the creative supplies sometimes are only put forth to be photographed and then split into pieces again, then the mood boards help me to stick to my mission about living creatively.

Almost the same mood board today and yesterday

And for pretty much the first time, my mood boards looks almost alike yesterday and today because I have made exactly the same creative creations both yesterday and today: Muffins form rosettes to family and friends as hostess gifts here at Easter…

But no matter how my mood boards look like, I really hope that they will inspire both you and me to have more creativity and to feel creative flow in our lives.

What does creativity mean to you?

I would be grateful if you would share your thoughts about creativity with me ♥ 

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne

MOODBOARD #107:
Farverige påske værtindegaver af muffinsforme ¦ Colorful Easter presents made of cup cake forms

365 moodboards i 2014. Moodboard #107: Farverige påske værtindegaver af muffinsforme. Smashup. Fotograf: Susanne Randers

Har holdt påskekomsammen i dag med naboerne her i landsbyen og været på Åsen og trille påskeæg med alle børnene…

Vi skulle selv medbringe mad til en fælles buffet, og mens min kæreste stod i køkkenet, satte jeg mig i mit krearum med en masse skønne farverige muffinsforme med påskemotiver fra Netto for at lave værtindegaver.

Forrige år fik jeg Lisbet *LLL&Co*s bog “Fine & farverige GAVER du selv kan lave” – og siden hen har jeg vel lavet 2-300 muffinsrosetter og delt ud til værtindegaver til familie og venner.

[TA-DAH: Dagens produktion af påske cupcake rosetter til værtindegaver til dagens komsammen – i fine turkise, lilla, gule og grønne farver. Stort set alle påskeformene stammer fra Netto]

Er du blevet inspireret til selv at lave sådanne fine rosetter til at hænge op i vinduet eller på forårsgrenene, så se billeder her i dette blogindlæg – eller køb Lisbets skønne bog for udførlig vejledning.

Håber du får nogle rigtigt skønne påskedage sammen med venner og familie.

Kærlig hilsen Susanne

Colorful Easter presents made of cup cake forms

Have held an Easter get-together today with the neighbors here in the village and been in the forrest to roll Easter eggs with all the kids…

We had to bring food for a shared buffet, and while my boyfriend was in the kitchen, I sat down in my studio with a lot of beautiful colorful cup cake forms with Easter designs to make hostess presents.

Last year I got Lisbet *LLL&Co.*’s Danish creative book “Fine & colorful GIFTS you can do” – and since then I have probably made ​​2-300 muffins rosettes to give away to hostess gifts for family and friends.

Are you inspired to make some fine rosettes to hang in the window or on spring branches, see photos here in this blog post (in Danish) – or buy Lisbet’s wonderful book for detailed instructions.

Hope you will have some really beautiful Easter holidays with friends and family.

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne

MOODBOARD #93:
Et kig ind i mit turkise univers ¦ A look into my turquoise universe

365 moodboards i 2014. Moodboard #93: Et kig ind i mit turkise univers. Smashup. Fotograf: Susanne Randers

Jeg er VILD med farver! Og for nylig har jeg genopdaget kærligheden til turkis – især kombineret med pink

Så da jeg i sidste weekend så, at Lisbet *LLL&Co* via Instagram igangsatte udfordringen “Keep the turquoise ball rolling” [ #keeptheturquoiseballrolling ] – så måtte jeg selvfølgelig også lege med.

Så i dag brugte jeg et kvarters tid i mit krearum på at indsamle nogle af mine turkise skatte – hver med sin helt unikke historie…

Lagde tingene frem på min hvide bordplade, som er en gammel låge – og voila: Så fremkom dagens moodboard.

Doodlet tallerken af Pia Doodlediem

Den smukkeste turkise skat, jeg ejer, fik jeg af skønne Pia Doodlediem i går til aftenens kreaklub. Pia har doodlet på en af min mormors gamle tallerkener med den smukkeste turkise porcelænsmalingstush ♥

#keeptheturquoiseballrolling

Vil du også inspireres af skønne turkise farver og selv lege med i farvelegen? Så find dine egne turkise ting frem, tag et billede af det og læg det op på Instagram eller Facebook og brug hashtagget #keeptheturquoiseballrolling…

Læs mere om legen, som også findes i pink og grøn her på Lisbets blog.

A look into my turquoise universe

I am CRAZY about colors! And recently, I rediscovered the love of turquoise – especially combined with pink…

Last week Lisbet *LLL&Co.* launched the challenge “Keep the turquoise ball rolling” [ #keeptheturquoiseballrolling ] via Instagram – and of course I had to play along.

So today I spent about fifteen minutes in my studio collecting some of my turquoise treasures – each with its own unique story – and created today’s mood board.

The most beautiful turquoise treasure, I own, I got from the talented Pia Doodlediem yesterday in our Creative Gathering. Pia has doodled on one of my grandma’s old dishes with the most beautiful turquoise porcelain pen ♥

#keeptheturquoiseballrolling

Would you like to be inspired by beautiful turquoise colors and even play with the colors on your own? Then make your own turquise mood board and load it on Instagram or Facebook, and use the hashtag #keeptheturquoiseballrolling…

Read more about this little color play, which is also started in pink and green here at Lisbet’s blog (in Danish).

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne
