Creativity is not something.

Creativity is not something you know how to do, but it is something you can focus on. I think this is what I have at this time. I don't know how to paint but as I focus more and more I somehow make good output if not best or excellent. Some of you know that every year, I move from place to place, wherever the work calls. so I don't have much things with me because it is very difficult to move again. For this reason, I have to be innovative of making my life easier. So here I will show you how I recycled an empty A4 box. I painted the four sides and now I use it to put on some stuff and if I don't need it anymore I can easily dispose it or give it to someone else.

Pardon me for saying that I am not creative when it comes to artistic work like painting or arranging things. I don't know but I have a very low aptitude in that department.

I like the way you've decorated the box - much better than a plain old box.

So when you give away the things in the box are you going to give them the box as well? It is absolutely beautiful how you painted it! You are very talented.

Yes, I will give/ throw away the boxes if I move and if I can’t take them.but I will throw them niceLy. So if they like to use it, it is still clean and useful. Thanks.

I think most of us are creative in our own ways.

Oh yeah I will surely agree on this. One way or the other we are. We have innate ability or talent in different ways.

Those are pretty drawings, I hope you don't get them wet. I missed drawing, but never done it on a box before.

It’s okay this get a bit wet. It is sealed with tape, somehow it is a bit waterproof. The paint I used was acrylic so no problem too. Thanks.

You know, you have an excellent idea. I also tend to recycle boxes like this but wrapped them only with tin foil paper to look better. I can't paint as well but just brush of colors will do. Thank you for sharing.

I thought of that as well, but if I will do that and I wish to bring the boxes with me, It is going to add some weight, because aside from the wrapper I have to cover it with plastic wrap. I will show you my other box by the way thanks.

To me, creativity is something that comes out of us instantaneously and is fueled by our instincts which when followed, we give rise to excellence in that particular field.
