Time is Art

Unleash Your Inner Artist
 
Legend has it that all Balinese living today are descendants of artists. Spend just a little bit of time here and you can't help but believe it's true.

The Balinese are not only creative in a painting or drawing sort of way, but in the little things that make up everyday life. Watching the grandmother across the street from us lead her youngest grandson up to the family temple each morning is magical; that little hand waving the incense as grandma chants to the ancestors really does set the tone for my day: bring it on life!

Even if you wouldn't call yourself an artist, it is impossible not to be inspired by Bali's way of life - just walking through a typical Balinese doorway makes me want to run home and distress some furniture! 

The good news is that pretty much any little creative desire you've ever had really can become a reality here as Balinese artisans are world renowned not only for their unparalleled talent but also their open minds. So, if you are planning a trip to Bali somewhere down the road, don't forget to bring that little dress sketch you drew back in college or the doodle of those earrings you dreamed about designing.
 
If you're into fashion, head straight to Seminyak where designers from all over the world have opened shops that cater to women, men and children of all ages and price ranges. Many of these designers have flagship boutiques throughout Europe or in Australia, but since their clothes are produced in Bali they also feel compelled to have a presence on the island.
 
Into jewelry or sterling silver in particular? Head up to the mountain town of Ubud - along the way you'll see several shops in the village of Celuk advertising their ability to create unique pieces or reproduce your favorites. One of the most famous jewelry designers on the planet, John Hardy, has his headquarters and artistic mecca near Ubud. 

Not only does Bali help the little artist in you come to life; the best thing is that it's usually topped off with a beaming Balinese smile to boot.
