Letter boxing a new creative journey

I am at a time in my life where I am craving the outdoors more than ever.  I heard Gertrude Mueller Nelson say on a iTunes video that we crave the outdoors like a vitamin! This summer I am planning on hiking as much as I can with my five year old companion! 

Letterboxes allow us to fit some creativity in too! It is a hidden treasure (hand-carved stamp and log) you bring a stamp pad, your hand carved stamp and a log of your own! You stamp in the log and "collect" their stamp in yours! 

I love the idea of a world of trails with little art treasures waiting to be found!  Pic from my log I left (I am rocking the monkey stamp), Woo hoo- how are you spreading the creative love in your world?

Cole Adams, Artist & Teacher

As an artist I live my life out loud and always creating - especially when we are on the road.  After completing an art degree in college I set about living my life in a creative way - I work with families and individuals to have their memories come to life in commissioned works of art.  I work in acrylics, fiber art, watercolors, sculpture, and rug hooking.  

Peace Day at the Labyrinth

Saint George Episcopal Church 
24219 Witte Road S.E. 
Maple Valley, WA 98038 

Cole and I were once again invited to paint next to the beautiful labyrinth on September 21st for Peace Day. As people come to walk the labyrinth in quiet contemplation or in fellowship with others, we will be there capturing the joy and beauty of the event. All are encouraged to join. We will have hands-on activities for the kids since it was such a hit last time!

Please invite others. Build a community of peace in your own part of the world!

Cash Mob at Happy Delusions

Sadly, our friend Mary Clymer is closing her store in Renton. Happy Delusions had been a bright spot in Renton as many businesses struggle to stay above water. Mary has given many artists and crafters a place to showcase and sell their work for the last 5 years. August and September will be the last chances to visit and support this great shop. A cash mob is planned on September 25th to show our love and appreciation for Mary. Don't miss it!!!

A good Read - The Artist's Rule

Cole Here~

I am enjoying reading the Artist's Rule: Nurturing Your Creative Soul with Monastic Wisdom, by Chirstine Valters Painter.  This book takes a look at where the monastic traditions and creativity intersects.  It is a beautiful book full of interesting techniques for creating a daily creative process.  Pick it up!  Here is one of the new pieces I am working on "Fisher of Men"
