Symbiosis of Creativity ~ Online Sharing Fuels Physical Art
Featured Author: @calendulacraft

Most days I spend a few hours taking photos for articles and typing up posts to share on Hive. Sharing nearly instantaneously is very fun and gives me a little rush when I see how my post have resonated with the world.

We are all well versed in the positives of writing online as a side hustle. The nearly instant reward of receiving votes, comments, and attention from strangers can really help in my creative processes. But instead of focusing on making art to share online I want to talk about the reverse, how blogging feeds into my zine making.

Fnally We Got to See Our Dream 11.5 Acre Land / Property in El Salvador.Featured Author: @joalvarez

So we finally got to checkout our dream property. This property we found on internet about 6 months ago, when we were still in Canada, and we really liked it.

The reason I say it is our dream property is because we have been looking for properties in El Salvador for few years now and this property was just the perfect property for so many reasons and if God blesses us with this property, we can do so many things with it and it is located in just the right spot. We can't get a more perfect spot than this.

Naples - The City of Art, History and Amazing Food 🍕Featured Author: @sararossi

Hello, dear friends. I want to share my Naples adventure with you. Let me start by telling you how we rented a car in Rome with my friends. We rented a small Toyota Yaris Hybrid, which had only 700 kilometers on it. 🚗 We were quite impressed. We read and signed the terms and conditions for the reservation. We completed the rental process and put down a deposit with our credit card. Then a €250 charge was made, which was some sort of insurance. The staff told us that if we didn’t take insurance, we could be liable for up to €3,000 in case of damage.

Pottery playtimeFeatured Author: @plantfuljourney

I'm so excited to show you my newest creations. It takes too long to finish the items because I am depending on the firing schedule of my teacher which is annoyingly irregular. It will be so much easier when I will get my own kiln.

I glazed them last week and was able to pick them up on Saturday. I was not sure how they would turn out because some of my items are quite large and I couldn't dip them in the buckets as there was not enough glaze. This is another issue that will be eliminated as soon as I get my own kiln and set up a home studio where I will be able to do everything from start to finish.

Missing the wilderness!
Featured Author: @vtravels

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all well! I’ve been missing the wild of Scotland recently, having gone there every year since I was born at least once when we haven’t been in a while i start to really miss it. I miss the sea and the quiet and calmness. There’s hardly anyone else around and being able to be alone in the wilderness is amazing. Now that we have 2 boys it’s harder and harder to get the time to go and also it’s so far that the journey isn’t always appealing!
