Design Creativity

To be creative is to be human.  Creativity has helped our species survive through the eons.  Having a big brain is great, but it's using it is what has pushed us up the food chain and helped us win the evolutionary crap shoot.   Perhaps that accounts for our great admiration of creative people.  We still need creativity to feed our souls.  I think that's why we especially admire creative artistic talent. Everyone has a favorite book or song or in my case, painting or sculpture.  I'm so fortunate to actually know someone who is a working artist.  Like any other artistic endeavor, being creative takes not just inspiration, but actual work.

Kit has gotten interested in electronic design over the past few years.  She's representative of a new generation of artists who can finally reach an audience through the internet.    The best thing about an electronic design is it can be transferred to almost anything.  For instance, last Christmas she wrapped all our presents in paper printed with one of her designs.  She works with a company that offers printing of her designs on a variety of products including fabric.  If you haven't figured it out yet, Kit is Sarah Lynn's mother-in-law, and my friend.

She's entered an on-line contest being sponsored by a design website called Bags of Love.  One of her designs appears on a sheath dress, and the company is offering a prize of over 600 pounds (that's about a $1000) to the designer whose dress garners the most votes.  I'd like for you to check it out and, of course, vote for Katherine Wilson's dress.  Here's how you find Kit's dress - and hopefully cast your electronic vote for it.  It's going to be easy; she has the best design.  I couldn't click directly into the contest, but I found the voting page by clicking on the Bags of Love home page.  Scroll down and look for "Gift Services" on the left side of this page and click on "Contest.  Here's the home page:
