Energised Fashion

    The past couple of days my brain has switched on and I have had an upswing of creative ideas pouring out of my head. Including some crazy beautiful candy coloured fashion ideas.

    I've got that energised bubbly feeling tonight. Like I could do anything. Got to bottle that feeling. I think it started with some pom-pom making.

Biding the Time

    I am still waiting for my pregnancy to finish. Baby sure is taking her time. My first baby was the same. In the mean time I have been resting up when I can. Reading a little and doodling in my art book.
    I had some pendant/earring ideas last night. Something that could be made out of flat wood or even cardboard. Here are some of my ideas…

Heart

My Earth

Palm Tree

Super Star

Sweet Cherry

Ideas on the Brew

Today's sketch book doodlings — 3 ideas:

1. a doll
2. bed spread and pillow
3. hipster pants

Inspiration Friday

Today's inspiration is quite a mixed bag:

• Pink
• Red
• Red shoes
• Cherries
• Blossoms
• Pecan pie
• Rockabilly
• Roller skates
• Cupcakes
• Diner waitress
• Rocksteady

What does this visual theme say about me? Girlie, with a slight taste of cheekiness. I suppose though that would describe anyone. Everyone has a different side to themselves.

What inspires you this week?

My Muse Is Nearby

Yesterday I was feeling inspired and as a result the following sketch was one of my many ideas for the day.

I am always in a far better mood when the mental juices are flowing and yesterday was no exception. I had some great ideas for fashion, fabric printing and a concept for a book. Now today I will put some thought into designing some table setting place mats.
