OK. New mission
OK. I can't completely commit myself here, but the intention is there. For the time being Wednesdays are now being tagged as the day to find something creatively inspirational to place here (and thereby storing it in a convenient place for my future reference).
So today I am looking for something to kick my but in gear for two projects I need to finish. The first is for the Birthday Art dolls LMAO (Land Mail Art Object) for a Nervousness exchange (I am so behind in this) and the second is my back tack project.
So, inspirational stuff for the art dolls.... The first two art dolls I completed (February and March) were made out of frustration for not being able to make a stuffed doll like the ones I received for my birthday (January). So I went with what I know: beads and wire. I figure that it would probably be smart on my part to continue in this manner and make these dolls somewhat of a series. So now I have to get April, May and June done. April needs to be "all about blue". This is what the recipient requested. And she has been such a good person to exchange with I would love to do justice to her character.
So hmmm. Inspiration. When I first typed in "wire bead" in Google "Images" I was presented with this. Imagine my chagrin in finding out I was not original in my wire doll idea. Oh well, I could at lease find some inspiration out there. This site actaully sells kits to make these dolls.
Search words "bead art" produced these wonderful beaded dolls. This is my inspiration for my next doll which I am sure will be full of blue!
So a bit of inspiration for my back tack project. Well I am intrigued by all the fabric I was sent by my other back tack buddy and would like to incorporate at least a selection. So naturally some sort of pieced work would be the best way. I would also like to do some surface embellishment as well. So here are a few things I found today. Of course anything at http://www.chameleonquilts.com/ is inspiration and I go there often just to stare. I found this piece on a site which was detailing the book "Beaded Embellishment"
Beaded Quilt Square
This little piece of beading was on a site advertising workshops for the International Bead Expo.

And this one I really like. I found it here. I love unidentifiable organic type art. It just has a feeling.
