It’s
easy for me to get inspired by random objects like other people’s family photos,
broken toys and old sweaters (to name just a few of perhaps thousands of things
in my cluttered storage area). But
sometimes having a room full of recycled materials can feel like a burden. Its
nearly impossible to find what I’m looking for, I make one hell of a mess and
have to clean it all up. It’s been difficult to summon up the courage to start
a new project lately. But then I got an iPad mini for Xmas and found a way to temporarily
avoid the whole mess.
I downloaded an app called Paper. I rarely draw or paint but I thought why not? Paper gives me an opportunity to work quickly with very little commitment and minimal effort. Its fun!

My
friend John uses Procreate and does some amazing sketches I can see that Procreate offers great features like undo and layers, as well as
many more options. But right
now the minimalist approach is exactly what I’m looking for. When I see photos
of beautiful, simple, organized interiors in magazines I think “Looks cool, but
I could never live like that”. With the Paper app I can see what it might be
like to live a more minimal and organized life. My brushes never dry out and I
always know where to find the colors and tools. Amazing! And my hoarder craft mess will still be there waiting for me when I'm looking for a more challenging option.
