Do you consider yourself creative? How do you express that?

I express it mostly with music playing gigs and writing songs

I also draw but that’s not always consistent

I express my creativity in wood and other organic materials, love crafting something from natural materials

I paint quite a bit and always have a small sketch book in my pocket. I used to play drums in bands but I wouldn't say that's actually creative.

I feel I'm very creative but I'm struggling to think of how I express that in my day to day life.

I used to draw, dont do much of that anymore. I used to be a decent footballers, havent kicked a ball in months. I haven't written anything resembling a story for a long long time and I dont play a musical instrument. I have a creative mind for sure but I dont necessarily put much of my thoughts into practice. I'll come back to you on this one

We are both musicians so we express ourselves through that a lot.

I write songs and music, I produce electronic and instrument based tracks.

I used to write film reviews, I used to write football news articles and I generally love writing.

I'm a poet at heart. I love manipulating words and creating something magical.

I'd love to be able to play a musical instrument, sing, draw or be crafty but I have no talent in those departments.

I dabble in painting when the mood takes me, sadly it's been at least 2 years since I last picked a paintbrush up.

Not really. I play at it. I play a bit of music, write the odd mediocre song or poem, mess with photos, and some of my work requires creativity either in writing, presentation of making up activities. I wouldn’t say I was creative more that I dabble at creating.

Creativity is my work and play. I love it .. sing, write music occasionally, dance, play guitar badly. I'm not crafty or painty but occasionally create something and surprise myself.

My favourite thing is music and movement play with my group of teens with autism. They're lush!

From a Fab point of view I think some of the pics I’ve taken in the past have been moderately creative.

My thing at the minute is drawing

I used to do embroidery and make jewellery but the wrists and eyes letting me down there

Other than that it’s arts and crafts with the lad, he’s thrown some last minute corkers my way with 1-2 days notice.... pearly prince outfit, dress a potato the same as his world book day costume (Fantastic Mr Fox) and a sheep’s costume

Now getting roped in to helping him paint his warhammer army figures !

I dabble in crafty stuff. I make jewellery and I’m taking a lampwork bead course in the summer. I’m also doing a horrible job teaching myself to play the flute.

Yes.

"Do you consider yourself creative? How do you express that?"

Yes and recently started painting again after many years just to de-stress. Now I find im mostly only motivated to paint in order to gift someone something special. Someone once told me 'we receive to give' and that's how I see my painting these gifts. I receive calm from the process of painting and joy from the giving.
