Let’s see:
1. It means I don’t leave any waste, which is obviously preferable for, you know, the world 🌏
2. It’s very open ended with no goal in mind (the definition of play, sorry, my early childhood teacher brain is coming out here) and this is soooo freeing!
3. Play is so so vital for humans of all ages. Did you know that play is actually a right for children? (Sorry, ECT brain never really turns off)
4. It creates things I never would have planned, and while some say NICHE DOWN, I real love having an eclectic mix of styles 🤷♀️
5. It’s generally in these times that I pull out something I haven’t used or done before, like a shape cutter I never got around to using, and I like how that extends my repertoire
6. It usually spurs on a creative train of thought that ends up turning into a planned collection or design so it really does increase my creativity!
I could keep on going but my early morning alone time has been cut short by my early bird son, so that’s all we’re getting for now. Perhaps a part 2 can come soon!
