Creativity is...

I have a big urge to make new things this weekend but; this weekend is the cleaning time for me unfortunately. I hope you have better plans than me :) However; I do have lots of new autumn projects from cooking to decorating that I am planning on sharing with you next week.. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I have some inspirational quotes for you about creativity. My favorite is:

 

And, ways to stay creative. My number one is "Stay Away from the Computer". (I think that is said before Pinterest was born because, that site honestly relaxes all of my creative muscles,:))

What is your favorite definition for CREATIVITY? Or, do you have any tips for me that helps to stay creative?

What happens when science enters into A Cup of Sparkle crafts laboratory?

     Spending most of my time in a biology laboratory at work, it was almost impossible to carry my daytime job to my A Cup of Sparkle Crafts Laboratory. Most of my family and friends have sceince related jobs- including myself and my husband.

I was actually recently on the cover of the Spring 2011 Algae Tecnonology & Business Magazine; which I was quite excited about... (the cover picture is on the right and you can read the article from the magazine)

  
Even if you are not working in a lab, you are probably familiar with the universal hazard signs. Why not put these signs under a cup instead of hanging them in a lab? So; here it is!



Set of 4 science inspired coasters
by A Cup of Sparkle

  Each of this set of 4 coasters in the picture above are some of the most frequently used signs in my laborotory: Radioactive, Biohazard, Flammable and Lab Coats Notice.  The colors are also the original colors these signs comes in.

Aren't those unique and fun? 

This beautiful coaters will be also great for a science themed party organization... or an awesome handmade gift that you can make for a science geek.

I hope this work and art fusion pictures will give you some inspiration. We already had some guests over to enjoy A Cup of Sparkle Tea of the coasters.
No, no.. our guests were not scared of the hazards- it might be only because they were also scientists :)
