Inspiration Board
Whenever I visit another artist’s workspace, I imagine what the late 19th century artist salons and later, the artist colonies, must have been like! Remember all those impressionists, who summered together, sharing ideas? What about Appledore Island! Oh, to have been a guest of Celia Thaxter’s for the summer! (I visited Appledore and Celia’s garden, and I will tell you about my visit one day!)
I have a trio of Inspiration Boards above my light table where I do most of my work. Tidbits of clippings, colors and quotes that constantly rotate, guided by my whim. When I visited Amanda Pearl’s atelier (see this week’s earlier postings), I just loved her oversized Inspiration Board.
From Amanda’s snippets….
….come this enchanting piece!
One of Amanda’s signature ideas is creating jewelry out of vintage chandelier crystals.
Ding! I have a chandelier! I may just have to steal a few crystals from it, so she can create a necklace for me! I’ll keep you posted on this idea!
And, lastly…
…one of my Inspiration Boards.
