Inspiration: What is yours...

Inspiration Definition
Inspiration is all around us everyday, as long as we take the time to understand it!  Whether we are taking a walk or trolling around the internet, inspiration can take many forms depending who is seeking...  But we also cannot confuse this wonderful means for creativity with EXACT duplication! (for another blog post)

Inspiration is something I NEVER take for granted.  It is the force that shines through my designs today and will continue...  Inspiration can be in many forms and it can depend upon the creator as to how that take it in.

We use to be able to take inspiration from our everyday life and what we saw when we ventured out into the REAL world.  Today, we are all about technology and inspiration bent to its will.  As did myself and my fellow artisans, but I also feel we have grown in our designs because of the change!

Inspiration can be found in Pinterest, Instagram, and yes even Facebook! Searches within these medias become the trigger for something great in our creative world.  Blogs are another great resource! We can be inspired through someone's vision on how they see their trade.

But I am still that creator that must step out and enjoy the world (when I can of course), whether I am walking around the block or paging through a magazine (yes and actual magazine, not an electronic reader!). No matter where I am I always have a pad a pencil with me. I am constantly jotting down a word or a quick sketch of something that just POPs in my heart! My husband truly enjoys it when we are out to dinner and I start doodling on a paper napkin, I think that is why he does not take me to a restaurant with cloth napkins anymore!!!

                                    Someone else once said "Take the time to smell the roses..."  !!!  

I say take the time to NOTICE something.  There is a lot in our world we are missing because we are too busy focusing on our phones. 

Even if it is just for a moment to step outside of your front door and close your eyes... listen --- something will INSPIRE you!

Let me know what inspires you! Leave a comment!
