Information. Inspiration.
Reflections. Humor. Play. Creativity.
 All of these things can be found within the pages of the Web site I nicknamed Creative Slush.
This site isn't just about my creative things. It's about the bits and pieces of inspiration that fuel my imagination and motivate me to be creative. It's about the little tangents my mind goes on to experiment and give into even the smallest of creative urges. It's my answer to "What inspires a Creativity Enthusiast?"
I find inspiration everywhere — from the amazing works of great masters to the humble hills constructed by ants. Pretty things are nice; but I'm more interested in the
process. What happens to people when they express themselves 'freeatively' through art, writing, and other creative outlets? Usually something much more rewarding than the approval of critics.
Maybe you'll be inspired by some of the same people, places, or things that I am. No worries if you aren't. My motto: Take what's useful and leave the rest. Enjoy a different
perspective. Watch someone else explore their creativity. Open your ears to a different voice. Celebrate our differences. And maybe take away something new.
Some of the highlights on Creative Slush are:
... and many more tidbits you can begin exploring from the
left-side navigation menu on the site. Enjoy!

P.S. The "unplugged" work-in-progress nature
of this site will undoubtedly reflect elements that will frustrate
English
teachers, copy editors, and grammar marms. To them I offer
a pencil with an eraser and a piece of blank paper to draw
on until they feel better. |

| More of My Thoughts on Creativity |
I am a creativity enthusiast and student of
life. I believe in the interconnectedness of all things and
in the personal responsibility we have for our thoughts and
actions towards ourselves and towards that which is outside
of us. I believe in leaving positive impressions in the world
for others to benefit from because the inescapable truth is
that we all learn and grow from sharing knowledge and experience
with one another.
I believe that “creativity” is as complex and
multi-faceted as “love” and has many definitions
and applications in our lives beyond bringing something new
into existence. I believe that creativity encompasses not only
artistic impressions and innovative inventions, but spiritual
enlightenment. Creativity is a realm of vast exploration and
expression, an engaging experience some people cannot live
without. It is a driving force for waking each day, for piercing
beyond the surface, for a continued existence in this complex
world. |

| The Slushy Ant Theme |
 The "slush-mire" theme is a play on
my last name (Dunmire). Creatively clever, eh? But when you
think of slush, don't think of that leftover gray melting
ick stuff that you wish would disappear off the roads after
a long winter.
Instead, think of those yummy sweet slushy
drinks you used to get as a kid! You know, the ones that
attracted armies of ants on a hot, summer sidewalk. That's
right... mmmmmm.... delicious creative slush! • |
