The two ravens are not of this world… they belong somewhere else… dark messengers gathering thoughts and memories back to Odin.
Following on from my first post “Odin’s ravens – Huginn and Muninn“, I started to sketch ideas and some shapes started to be imagined. Two ethereal representatives flying within a circular form. Real, recognisable features slowly changing into something unreal, unrecognisable. Feathers? How to create feathers that are not feathers? It took me a few days, walking and thinking, and then… feather-like leaves! At the same time real and not real!
This is very much a part-finished creation. Lots of work still to do but the main shapes are finished. They disturb me a little… I’m not sure I like them, but that’s typical when I’m half way through, but I have more ideas so I hope I finish them.

that’s really awesome…on an unrelated note, you said something like I blog a lot or something like that…so I started thinking wouldn’t it be cool if I posted way less…why not stop inundating people with too much info…less is more, for that I thank you…

Less is more? Kinda. Let me think on this some more…

That is remarkable! Kudos to you, and others, who are truly creative with their hands! That’s not me, lol, I create with words, which is with my hands, but unless I publish it isn’t really tangible.

Words are strange – they seem simple but have layers of meaning built up over time by reading and speaking the words in thousands of different contexts. To form sentences by choosing just the right words seems far more difficult to me than creating something physical.

I suppose it would be for someone who’s physically creative, for those of us who are not?
I suppose it could be like me trying to create a pinata…easy enough but it won’t look like anything I imagined once the final touches are added. It just won’t happen the way I want since my creative juices flow more towards the lyrical, poetic, wordy end of the spectrum.

I don’t think anything happens straight away, you have to work at it to get better 🙂 I’ve tried lots of different ways to create sculptures and some media just didn’t work for me and some things did. Don’t give up with the physical creativity side, maybe you just haven’t found the right medium for you! One day I’ll be brave enough to try writing 🙂
