I swear the days are just flying by…..
First, I’d LOVE to THANK Kristin LaFlamme for the FABULOUS postcard I received in return for a small donation for a walk she was doing HERE.
Both our postmistress & DH also LOVE it!!!
What have I been doing you may be asking? Lots of reading thru books & magazines that I’ve been collecting for most of the year…..and playing in my sketchbooks.
Below is a clip from an old magazine – think it was Real Simple but could have been a Martha Stewart. The Real Simple magazines I got from the library before they tossed them (as they were old) and Mom used to get Martha Stewart ones.
When I look thru magazines, I look for inspiration for colour, design, etc. This one touched me because of the many possibilities those borders on the pottery gave me…..I played with a few sketches on this page which by the way was started in August, then another page has some enlarged and expanding on those designs. I may never use the designs or I may use them for a new piece as a beading pattern or as quilting designs. So many possibilities!!!
Also, I have been more & more thinking of doing some NEW WORK on my Metis heritage and since 2010 is going to be Year of the Metis in Saskatchewan, its the kick in the butt I have needed to start working on designs for new pieces.
I’m glad to hear you are feeling better each day and getting back into sinque with your creative muse! I LOVE your sketches and can see some beaded ribbons on some of your pieces using them. Way to go girl!
Good luck on your inspirations for 2010!!!
Glad you’re feeling better! That is a lovely little postcard.
