I thought it might be nice to share our creativity.
Anything really, photography, art, writing etc etc.
Thanks to Steven for partly inspiring this thread.
Please include a visual description with any images to aid those of us with sight impairment.
Thank you.
I'll start:
This is great, Zo! I am glad that your posts have been unlocked at last!
havnt been able to post things so dont know if it will work or not but done a drawing
This is a lovely picture! It made me smile. You've done a really good job of colour and shape balance as well I love balance in pictures, my autistic eyes scan and look for it and feel peaceful if it's there. Thanks for sharing.
I love this view! Beautiful panoramic picture
Yes - that's little me. I didn't have a brown cardigan, but it represents me being the same as my dad who always wore a brown cardigan from at least when I was born to when he died. I'm glad it cheers you up too!
Thank you, I didn’t know anyone would have liked them.
It’s a priceless memory and your picture cheers me up! Do I assume correctly that you are the one next to your dad wearing the same clothes as him?
I did this at the weekend for my Wellbeing Creativity group. It is meant to be a happy memory.
I have no photos of my childhood family all together. And certainly none at Christmas which was the only time I saw my dad.
I've diagnosed him in death as autistic. For many reasons including that her wore those same clothes for over 40 years.
I've used those clothes to represent us both being autistic. I didn't really wear those clothes.
Because it is a childhood scene I have the excuse of my childish painting methods and skill (I've not painted since school)
They are amazing. Great work
Sorry. I'm the same. I should know better, and will remember.
Please, I don’t like complements. Don’t tell me I’m cool or amazing I’m just me. It makes me feel somehow uncomfortable. Everyone is unique and interesting.
I agree with Number. I think this is very cool and you are cool.
This post has raised all sorts of emotions for me.
Joy - at all the potential that you have (you are still young enough to do great things, whether just for yourself, or the sci-fi novel that lurks within you that could end up being for everyone - my brother finally started writing a book aged 56)
Sadness - at the big purge that you did, and what caused it. I hope that all those sci-fi ideas, at least, remain in your head to recall one day. I'm glad that photos of some of these things survived.
Admiration - at the sheer amount of effort that you put into all these - the floor plans, the addresses. the sheer amount detail. This whole aspect really appeals to the younger me. I get it, even if my outlet would have been different.
The idea of you creating pictures simulating a trip to Russia is an emotional rollercoaster too.
You are more than cool, you are amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing these and your thoughts.
For me the natural individuality is best and perfect. People are so diverse it’s beautiful.
Yes, transition into "group" behaviour and norms is SAD !! But very common.....and in many ways, easier for all concerned......but that doesn't make it healthy nor good!! Individualism is good and healthy.....but can equally be "overdone" too! It is a difficult balance to achieve....especially for current "young'uns". I am glad that I grew up before current "interweb" pressures were a "thing." Life is complex enough, without the pressure of the WHOLE FOOOOOKING WORLD on your shoulders too !!?!
Yes, all of them were very different, like people. I loved watching people (staring) observing, everyone is unique different and beautiful. It was sad to see how my peer female colleagues turned into chavs, well, their choice, but this way they lost their individuality and all of them kinda became clones of each other. Tanned to dark orange, blond pressed (and burned) hair, scary black eyes, low hip trousers and flashing their private parts and intensive smells of their fragrance made me unable to even sit next to them I felt so uncomfortable. But my dolls were nothing like this.
They look so yummy I can smell them!

Thank you. Approximately 4-5 hours of time on and off.
