I got a *ton* of entries for this carnival (which was for May 10th, not 12th as I mistakenly wrote). If I missed your entry, I sincerely apologize – don’t hesitate to submit to the next edition. A few people submitted more than one article, and in those cases, I picked one to include. Since there are so many entries, I’ve divided them into a few categories.

Articles by and about Creative People and their Creations

Bobbi A. Chukran presents Transformations…The Art of Recycling exhibit online posted at Recycled Stuff.

Don West presents Tenacious Trees posted at Idle Minutes.

Cyndi presents Creating a digital mixed media collage posted at Layers Upon Layers, saying, “There are so many different ways to combine digital and physical art. Here’s one of my new favorites!”

Amy E. Fraser presents Dormant Canvas posted at EXALTED BEAUTY

Elvis D presents You Should Be An Actor posted at OneSmallWindow.

Kathryn presents The San Francisco Writing Life | San Fran Voice posted at San Fran Voice, saying, “A blog post about what it means to be a writer in San Francisco.”

Articles written *for* creative people on everything from inspiration to calls for art to staying healthy

Mr. Besilly presents The Power of Creative Vision posted at Mr. Besilly – One Man’s highway, saying, “The world desperately needs creative vision determined to give happiness by creating beauty.
