Crafted Courage is where creativity has a home. I'm Libz! I want to share my silly goose behavior and make cool stuff. If you need encouragement, inspiration, or a laugh, then come on in!
I have truly enjoyed creating these pocket sized messages of #joy. #collage has been such an influential medium for me, and it has opened the door to expressing myself in a very real way. I hope your voice rings a little louder today.

Today's #collage session was very fruitful. As I reflected on how I get in the way of my own authenticity, I realized that there are walls I've built out of fear of being seen. I can step into the light, and I hope you join me.

In overwhelming times, it is harder to see where #abundance begins and scarcity ends. The gifts of plenty begin with the choice to unwrap their wonder. Whether it's material wealth or the precious resource of time, we can share this to make life a little easier for us all.

Don't be afraid. It's gonna be great. 💜🦋

I've been experimenting with bigger #collage pieces in a #sketchbook. This process taught me to be more patient and forgiving with myself. These two pages sit side by side, and it is a beautiful reminder to let go and just be.

Wrapping up another entry into my Cry While Walking series of #collage based #cards. A gentle reminder to be all you are. Spread your wings, and let your weird find a communal well of weirdness that jives with you. You are wonderful as you are.

Hi there! I'm Libz, and I'm a jack of all mediums. My interests are far and wide, but my personal project is creating collaged, pocket-sized messages of hope. Over on YouTube, I am documenting my journey of embracing imperfection through creativity 💜

No matter if it's a dream yet realized, a loved one, or the vulnerable parts of ourselves. Protect what matters. What we love is worth showing up for.

The latest addition to my personal #collage project that I'm calling Cry While Walking. A pocket sized message of #inspiration and #intention to keep seeking ourselves in the wilds of what is.

This experimental #craft used finger paints, an eye mask, and a building sense of #intuition. I thoroughly enjoyed letting go of the inputs and feeling my way though. If that speaks to you, I welcome you to join me!

So long as the weather holds out, I'm hosting a free #craft for my local #community at a pop up market near me. I'm very excited, and I spent the evening preparing these packages with a little message of #hope and #inspiration. We could all use a reminder sometimes that we are worthy of our effort.

A friendly reminder that your #creativity is uniquely yours, perfection is an impossible standard, and to color outside of the lines. It'll probably happen if you're using #markers anyway, so go with it!

When in doubt, create. I've had a growing interest in #collage. I wasn't sure at first how big to make my ideas, and then it came to me. A pocket sized message of joy. Here are my first two #cards! ✨ I expect this to be an ongoing project as the feels come and go.

When you're in the waiting phase of what's to come next, it's easy to lose sight of all the good that surrounds you. I know I do.

What's something you're grateful for today? ✨

For me, it's the love of family (from birth or by choice).

Today I wrestled with the feeling of my timing versus right timing. We've all been there where we wish we could hit fast forward to what comes next, but hope is found in the waiting. I hope you enjoy.

I need one of the "don't look at me in that tone of voice" holders 😂 that is my vibe.

I made a couple of pie potholders for Christmas!

I love the Wild Oleander pattern. I'm working on one right now! Nearing the finish line on the scarf before I start the hood. Your color choices are beautiful!

After a particularly challenging week, I needed to #relax. I didn't know what I wanted to make, so I just sat down and let the #ink go where it wanted to. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be.

#dogtax since it's Saturday and a pup cup is a must.

Just a little something I wrote ✨ I've been on a creatively fueled journey over the last few months, and #poetry has been a tool to help me process some big feels.

How does creativity show up in your world?

Lately my hobby has been to explore hobbies. I started with quilling, and I've had a lot of fun trying out new shapes and ideas. I think this craft can be as simple or intricate as you want it to be. I look forward to diving in more!

#WIP shot of my Wild Oleander scarf by Wickedly Handmade. I absolutely love this pattern, and I'm enjoying the way these colors dance together!

Model required many treats and did not enjoy sitting still, but she still looks very lovely ✨

I'm just starting on my new Wild Oleander! I love your color scheme. That is stunning 😍

Working on a Wild Oleander scarf (pattern by Wickedly Handmade) while my sleepy puppy snoozes away. I'm really happy with how this yarn is working up so far. It's self-striping, but I'm just going for it!

No weekend is complete without a pup cup treat. Ava, who is clearly part dog and part anteater, enjoyed the now expected cup of whipped cream. Spoiled doesn't begin to cover it.

Hope your weekend is as sweet as this moment is! ✨
