Creativity in another form = Nail painting :)

So yeah... I have like lots and lots and lots of nail polish in different colors and their shades. They can't even fit the box I bought for them...:D That's actually really funny 'cause in the end of the day I don't use them so much. At the other day I felt like: "Now I do something GREAT!!! Something I've never done before and well here's the result:

Union Jack
<3 Love these :)

Doing these was time-consuming and really hard task for my hands 'cause my hands shake if I try to concentrate them to do something specific, like those stripes! At this point I noticed that polishing my nails not so specificly is easier than before and I do believe that " Fabricando fit faber." and "
Repetitio mater studiorum est" 

I heard those sayings like 10 years ago for the first time and I find the inventors really wise people.


Learning outcome: Learning new skills, which means that I learned how to do nail painting in a form I had not tried before. Steady hands take a lot of practice, but I think I got it now.

About Creativity...!!! :D

Creativity is the very much the funniest part of CAS because it's pure inventing of stuff. ...And being good with your hands... For example, I as a terrible knitter, did a scarf easier than the usual ones. It's done by repeating of 8 loops again and again until the twine ends. In my personal experience it was easier and also otherwise nicer than the previous ones I made. Here's some pics:


As I already mentioned I'm not good at knitting so I noticed one thing during my hours of bordness.
I had become more persistent and of course better knitter. I could even watch TV while I knitted :DD and that was awesome! Multitasking as it stands absolutely! And I must say I'm proud of myself, I honestly thought I would never have the strenght till the end.:/

Criterias I need to fulfill in CAS

Next questions are the ones I'm trying to answer honestly during my time at the IB...

"What skills did the activity teach you?
What life lessons did the activity teach you?
How did the activity help other people?
How has the activity changed you?
What do you perceive and notice?
How you feel being involved?
What do you think and feel about the activity itself?
What does the activity mean to you?
What value does the activity have? "

or then...
