National Creativity Day 🎨 how do you showcase your creativity?

Happy National Creativity Day!

Today is a day dedicated to celebrating creativity in all its many forms.

We've got lots of creative people on the community. From poets to painters to writers, bakers, gardeners and many more.

But creativity can apply to all kinds of subjects and skills, even some that aren't often seen as creative. Lots of the scientific and mathematical discoveries we've had across time wouldn't have happened without people thinking creatively to solve problems and push boundaries.

Engaging in creative activities can be great for reducing stress and can provide an outlet if you're struggling with your mental health. There's a reason why art and creative subjects are often used in therapeutic settings! It can help you open up in ways that you wouldn't otherwise feel able to, and give you a break from any difficult thoughts you might be struggling with.

You can see some of the more arty examples of creativity from our community in our fabulous online gallery Kaleidoscope:

But we'd love to see any of your creative pursuits, so if you have any pictures please share!

What kind of things do you do that showcase your creativity?💡

I learnt to crochet at a mental health centre that has recently closed due to lack of funding. I’m still crocheting at home. This is my first crochet wreath

I love Kaleidoscope too, @WhatThe! It's so nice seeing all the beautiful things people create, we've got such talented members.

I found some photos of some birthday cards I've made that I thought I'd share. They're made with the same pack of paper so they're quite similar.

This one has some origami:

And this one is just cut out and pieced together.
