Spring Break Creativity Journal Entry

Over this break, I was trying to think of different ideas for what I could do for this journal entry but I wasn't sure of what to do. I got the idea when I was Skyping my best friend and she was showing me how she had tried to bleach her jeans but it didn't work and she ended up painting her sneakers instead. I thought this was a really cool idea and I decided that to take a pair of sneakers that I didn't really wear anymore (they used to be white with green leaves) and make them look different. She ended up embroidering one of her shirts and I was painting my shoes, so it was fun that we were doing creative things together because then we could show each other the results. I like painting a lot, but I'm not the best at doing things that are super realistic or detailed so this was fun because I could still use my creativity for something simple that I can use in my daily life. I decided to choose pink & flowers for my design because pink is my favorite color and there are these pink flowers at my house which are pretty, which served as my inspiration. It was a good experience and helped me to learn to be meticulous with things if I want them to turn out well. I think that being able to repurpose something that you don't use or like is a great idea because it's simple and allows you to make something exactly how you want it to be.
