IF\u00b4s<\/a> theme this week is PROPAGATE. I didn\u00b4t know what the word meant, so I looked it up:<\/p>\n

To cause to continue or multiply by generation, or successive production; \u2014 applied to animals and plants; as, to propagate a breed of horses or sheep; to propagate a species of fruit tree.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kreativitet avlar kreativitet\u2026&nbsp;Creativity propagates creativity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n

This has been been my own home-made motto for years (in Norwegian since I didn\u00b4t know the English word), and by that I mean, that creativity is way of thinking. If you use your energy on creativity, you don\u00b4t run dry on ideas. On the contrary, new ideas, more and more, will be born into your imagination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n

Creativity is an attitude towards life, if you will.&nbsp;I mean that it is not just a way of approaching art- or craft-making. It is how you meet life, how you greet it. How you deal with the challenges and surprises life has in store for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n

For over a decade now, I\u00b4ve been making my own calender-journals. In the beginning they were strictly written in black on white paper. Later it\u00b4s turned around, when there is color on every square cm in the book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n

The one thing that all the books have in common is the spiral on the cover. The spiral has been an ancient symbol of fertility in many cultures. I\u00b4ve extended the meaning of the word fertility to not just be about giving birth to babies, but also include the creative mind giving birth to ideas. To me, the spiral is the symbol of creativity.<\/p>\n

Also because in my experience creativity works like a spiral, one idea is born, another, then three more, then ten more, spreading like ripples in water, or add the &nbsp;time-dimension, and you have\u2026 the spiral!<\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve usually sewn the covers, and the one above is on one of my early home-made &nbsp;calenders, from 1997. Below are the backs of some other years.<\/p>\n
