However, doing graphic design these days, I think I do my best work when I'm in a better mood.Jessica @ COSDesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576951155636886024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108074227915396313.post-55826814480200192282011-09-20T19:03:54.905-05:002011-09-20T19:03:54.905-05:00I definitely can't create when stressed.

I'm usually creative by writing, but I don't really write poetry or novels when I'm really angry or upset, so I'd say no, I don't release my emotions with my 'art'.<br /><br />Listening to a book on CD while crafting is a cool idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108074227915396313.post-45952989620110887922011-09-20T14:23:26.740-05:002011-09-20T14:23:26.740-05:00YES!

If I am not in a good place no paint will touch my brushes, it is often a waste of my time and products.However I have discovered Art Journalling and it works wonders at keeping my stress at bay. Good music always helps my creative side flow easier when painting. Thank you for post this topic. Keep well and thrive!<br /><br />ChelseaCHELSEA ST PIERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557064670076394138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108074227915396313.post-19218028107009817632011-09-20T11:44:09.631-05:002011-09-20T11:44:09.631-05:00I can't create anything beautiful when I am un...I can't create anything beautiful when I am under stress. I cannot even take decent photos! I am much like you - listen to audio books or music, or just enjoying the silence. If I am emotional while creating it is positive only when it has to do with the creative process, like getting crazily inspired!Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108074227915396313.post-68150971329831606492011-09-20T08:45:27.529-05:002011-09-20T08:45:27.529-05:00If I'm in a grumpy mood and try to sew...I alw...If I'm in a grumpy mood and try to sew...I always make mistakes and then get more frustrated!! <br /><br />I stay away from the sewing machine on those days!Meelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416420120054309702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108074227915396313.post-46905880316213901192011-09-20T08:12:12.112-05:002011-09-20T08:12:12.112-05:00Do your emotions affect your creativity?
