Drawing Inspiration From The Home

3/15/2017

Inspiration. It literally comes in all shapes and sizes. And sometimes, no matter how prolific and limitless inspiration is, it can sometimes elude us. I am as much a victim of the fickle nature of creativity as the next person and have, I admit, taken to some drastic measures to inspire my work.

Like forcing my cat to pose in photos, for instance (but don't be fooled...she's a diva and loves the camera).

And, as a photography enthusiast, I like props. Lots and lots of props. In this case, I thought it would be tongue-in-cheek to photograph my cat with a bird. An owl to be exact.

That's when I realized how adorable those darn stuffed owls actually are.
That wide-eyed pair sits on a shelf in my living room ....eyeballs me with its blank stare... practically daring me to be inspired by it. I mean, really now, owls are never not adorable, am I right?
So, inspired I was. Since that stuffed toy found a permanent perch in my home, I've created three owl designs, and find myself constantly pushed to try again to capture the look of absolute-adorable-undeniable surprise and confusion.

So let me extend to you a challenge, of sorts. Look around the room you're sitting in right now. Take in the art on your walls, the family photos in frames, the knick-knacks and baubles on shelves and tables. Keep looking until your eyes naturally settle on one thing. Just one.

Now.... with that in mind, go create.

And when you're done, come back here and let me know how it goes. Leave me a link to your creation in the comments below. If you're inclined, write your own blog post about the process. I'd love to hear all about it!

Happy weaving!

I love that you force your cat to pose for photos. These are just as good as the photos of your jewelry. Your cat is so cute!
