Mood Board

I'll admit that college has put me in a bit of a creative slump. I've had so much homework and I've been making so many new friends, and it has all been wonderful. However, I get a lot of joy out of creating beautiful things of my own free will and I keep thinking that I need to get myself out of my slump.

Cue my wonderful friend Emma Heath. She has a beautiful poetry blog that I always love reading, and today she decided to write something a little bit different and shared part of her creative process. (Read it here: http://emmaheath.blogspot.com/2015/12/my-creative-process-part-1.html). She talked about creating a mood board, something that I used to do but haven't done in the past year. I was so excited by the idea of making another mood board that I started working on one immediately. If you didn't take the time to read her post (although you seriously should) a mood board is a collage of pictures that you put together to illustrate how you're feeling. Sometimes mood boards are very organized and have a central theme and other times you just throw whatever you love together and enjoy the way that it turns out.

The board that I made is somewhere between organized and disorganized. There's definitely a theme of peace and cool colors but the subject matter is extremely varied. I used images from Pinterest and I've linked to the pins below.

There's nothing like creating something you love. It puts everything into perspective. What's your favorite kind of creativity?

Until next time,

Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Coldplay is releasing a new album TOMORROW? I'm absolutely beyond excited.
