Creativity is essentially nothing more than awareness: the ability
to take notice, to pay attention, to perceive, to examine, to
probe, to weigh, to study, to look, and to heed. A big part of
creativity is discovery, and the natural world is one big treasure
hunt, full of potential, possibility, and priceless possessions.
Natural Creativity will interest craftspeople and artists of all
ages, and van be used to promote family projects. It teaches how to
rediscover awareness, appreciation, and reverence for every little
thing in life. It shows us ways to exercise natural creativity,
using nature's raw materials to make natural crafts, thereby
integrating personal creativity and ingenuity with nature. In
addition, the book raises awareness about America's early settlers
with tales and information that heighten the appreciation of
traditional American crafts. In addition, you can use Natural
Creativity to guide you on a stimulating journey of creative
exploration. Find our more about your natural surroundings as well
as your own innate creativity by trying some of the simple and
easy-to-follow exercises that are described at the end of each
chapter. For more of a challenge, try out the more complicated
projects that are scattered throughout the book. These activities
