You keep play-doh in front of me; the little child in me is going to insist I play with it. I must admit, I have plenty of play-doh at home and I use it. :) I use it to stimulate the creative side (if it exists!) of the brain, to do a temporary join of pieces of stained glass to see if they (glass color) go together, to use my fingers other than clicking on a keyboard, and mostly for just plain ole' FUN.
So, on this grand Friday, I find myself presented with bunch of play-doh lumps and I go to 'work'. After an hour or two, all I had done was kneed the different lumps into some thing resembling round balls. It wasn't very creative, nothing stimulating and fingers getting plenty of non-clicking workout. I started to make long earthworms from then on. But they were long spindles and still incredibly boring. But, what if, I arranged the 'earthworms' (which by the way happened to be green in color), like stalks. Hmm, how about stalks of lavender.... oh! oh! How about French lavender. I can almost smell them. Before I know it, we had stalks of lavender. The table next to mine had red and orange color lumps, which I rescued from their imminent boredom. While I was not looking some art patron walking left me yellow. Wow! Now we are in business. Flowers and buds just kept uncontrollably popping up. Arrgggghh.... no stopping this spring fever anymore......
Before you can sneeze ... bless you!
