Creative Whack Pack?

snaps of some things I have done in the process

Do you know about the Creative Whack Pack? One day a long time ago, on the streets of Palo Alto, California, about a mile or two from Stanford University, I entered one of my favorite bookstores to find this funny little tool. God knows, one thing I do not need is something to help my creativity, however, it sparked my curiosity.
As you already know, I am always one to want to see what is over the next hill, or now, exactly how does that work, or why would anyone want such a thing as this, what does this have to do with that? So, naturally I bought this deck and brought it to my studio to investigate.What has this got to do with anything? Yesterday, I described how I come up with some images for the thread paintings.. What I did not say is that along with the images I shared are the wonderful things that come as I go through what seems like a lot to do to get to where I am,  such as, paper sculptures, my unique origami paper, handmade books, an idea for a pattern for a shrug to knit, the construction of a jacket, the colors for a silk shibori scarf all pleated with amazing design. etc.
My life is a creative whack pack.
Why do I write about this? I guess I just want to share the process. I know how much I enjoy reading and seeing what other artists do in their creative processes. Sometimes I find a new card to add to the deck of my creative whack pack. Oh yes, back to the creative whack pack, it is a deck of cards; you deal them out and or pick out one that tells you what to do, as in: turn something upside down, consider something from a different point of view, etc. Each card has something else to try. We do not need a creative whack pack, now do we?
But, it is interesting to me that some people do.
