A instant. A moment. A spark of inspiration. A spark of creativity.

 My instant creativity... inspired by a PEACOCK.

This Peacock. Began it's life as a simple pad of sticky notes. After many folding and a little tape,and a pipe-cleaner for feet it is now something much more than it was before. A creative little patterned Peacock. 

Pattern. Yes. Patterned. Meaning a mark or design that is repeated in a reoccurring sequence.

 (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009,p.366.) 

To me a Peacock is a perfect example of a of a pattern.  A Peacock's pattern has rhythm, movement, repetition, that is made of lines, shapes, and colours. 

Nature has many hidden patterns throughout it. The natural world around us might just be the best example of creativity itself.

Perhaps if we took time in our day to look at the world around us, we may just be inspired to be a little more creative.

It can be found in a leaf, a tree truck, water droplets, flower petals, birds sitting on a wire, in snowflakes, in the clouds in the sky, in the waves in the ocean, in seashells, or even the frost found on a windshield.

Creativity. Nature. Patterns. Peacocks.

A craft idea for the week: A Paper Peacock.
