"Rose shabby chic cupcake" by Kylie Lambert"As artists, we must learn to be self-nourishing. We must become alert enough to constantly replenish our creative resources as we draw on them- to restock the pond, so to speak. I call this process filling the well." Julia Cameron, "The Artist's Way"
"Mother's Day birdhouses" by holiday jennyFor me it is my 'refresh file' of images I cut from magazines, brochures from boutiques, interior magazines, food magazines, newspaper articles and anything else that I find that I can cut out and keep. I have a journal on the go all time so that I can scribble down song lyrics, quotes, road signs, and images I see day to day. I have also started carrying my camera with me. So many times I would be somewhere and something and wish I had a way of holding on to an image, like little birds having lunch in my Mum's garden and couldn't capture it in a drawing. I have recently started pinning a new image to my notice board every week to keep me fresh and inspired.
