I wrote a different\u00a0post earlier this week, but\u00a0decided to ditch it at the last minute. Switching gears, I\u00a0figured it would be much more interesting to\u00a0share this eclectic grouping of web finds that caught my eye. I’ll let you pick and choose…and hope\u00a0you’ll find something that gets your weekend off to a good start.<\/p>\n

\"Balance\"

Pyramid<\/strong> \u00a92016 Elizabeth Fram<\/p><\/div>\n

Treat your eyes and ears to the delightful details of this animated illustration of small-town life<\/a>\u00a0in a music video for Jane Bordeaux’s ‘Ma’agalim’. Ingenuity and gentle humor at its best; enjoy.<\/p>\n

There is plenty of food for thought in Jeff Goins’\u00a0article “Three Reasons Why Your Creative Work Needs An Audience”<\/a>. It\u00a0discusses\u00a0the importance of empathy for your audience in order to propel your creative efforts forward in the marketplace. The teaser that caught my attention, and might grab yours, is Goins’ statement “Any fool can make a point. The truly creative person makes a connection”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"2-Bowls,-A-Lid-and-a-Measuring-Cup\"

Two Bowls, A Lid, & A Measuring Cup<\/strong> \u00a92016 Elizabeth Fram<\/p><\/div>\n

The “lost wax” method of casting is something I’ve tried to imagine for years. This short step-by-step video<\/a> makes the process crystal clear.<\/p>\n

Danny Gregory tackles the idea of removing art from schools. See what you think about his alternative proposal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another great thing about drawing<\/a> (as if we need convincing)…it can help improve memory. In my book, this is\u00a0news that falls in the same happy category as when they decided dark chocolate could improve our health and lower our risk for heart disease!<\/p>\n

\"Empty-Cans-in-the-Sink\"

Empty Cans in the Sink<\/strong> \u00a92016 Elizabeth Fram<\/p><\/div>\n

With what was hopefully the last snow for the season (on Tuesday) behind us, I’m looking ahead to a more spring-like weekend. Here’s hoping the sun finds you, wherever you are.<\/p>\n
