How to Create a Bliss Station For Creativity 🎨

“And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming the work we do. Oh yes, affirm the work that we do!” - Psalm 90:17 (MSG) 🖌️🎨

I love this verse because it speaks so beautifully of creating and living an art-filled life - whether that is painting, gardening, baking, anything! We are going to take this verse, write it, paint it, and I’ll also share with y’all what a bliss station is and how to create one in your own home. 

STEP 1:

Write out the passage on a piece of paper. I am using a piece of mixed media paper and a Faber Castell SC pen. We are going to use this verse as a sacred prayer for our bliss station. 🙏

STEP 2:

Let’s add color and details! 🌈 I'm using Prima Marketing Classics Watercolors to add paint and decorate this verse. I’m coloring hearts and adding some yellow and blue dots. I’ll also doodle a little border with flowers. This is so simple and easy, and now you have a pretty verse for your bliss station and to carry you through the fall.

What is a Bliss Station and How to Make One

To me, a bliss station is where you just bring yourself to create. I got this idea from Austin Kleon and then added Scripture and a prayer. Here’s how you can create your own bliss station to spark your creativity and inspire you to make something beautiful:

• Use a corner of a room or little spot in your home. This doesn’t have to be anything big - it could be a tiny desk, your kitchen table, a rolling cart, etc. This is simply a place, BUT a sacred place. Feel free to put all of your art supplies and inspiration here.
  
  
• Play - just play! This is a sacred place and a sacred time. You can set a timer for one hour and think of this as time to play. “Play is the highest form of research.” - Einstein.
  
  
• Bring in inspiration. This could be photos, magazine pages, things from Pinterest, drawings. etc. 

When you combine a sacred place with sacred time, magic happens. I love thinking of this particular verse from Psalm 90:17 when I’m creating at my bliss station because I can just feel God’s loveliness, warmth and sparkles on me. I hope this inspires you to make your own bliss station!
