So if you’ve been following my Instagram account, @pins_artist – you’ve probably noticed my PiNStaChallenges poping up on the feed, in the hope to uplift & empower our human souls through positive & creative activity – If you don’t follow on the Gram, no worries, I’ll just share them on here from now on…
OFF PHONE, PAINT STONE! – stemmed from a chance meeting with a local artist Penny who inspired it – Blog post about her & her stones HERE – and from a need of simply getting off my phone and engaging with the ‘real’ world as much as possible, whilst motivating & inspiring others through it…
THE CHALLENGE:

– For someone else to own
– Good Energy Transfer zone (GET it)

Special thanks to Karen, who works at the Centre, for not only bringing the guys down but also for her enthusiasm in doing so, and really embracing the creativeness of it all, by literally creating a ‘PINShrine’ of the day in their reception area at the Centre – how random, how cool *Big up Kaz!…
