That is my way to cleanse my brain too. Isn't it strange how too much inspiration can all but paralyze you? <br /><br />Your collage work and inspirations are all so lovely.

Sometimes just getting caught up proves inspiration in itself!<br />xx,<br />Autumn ClarkSewPaperPainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375856869443819008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605448674629528351.post-33389522652944624632010-09-20T20:09:43.309-07:002010-09-20T20:09:43.309-07:00Hi Jill,

Having everything in shoeboxes just didn't do it for me! My Pics:<br />http://mudbaymusings.blogspot.com/2009/03/creative-space.html<br /> <br />For a quick spark of inspiration, I always look to the birds... their songs and beauty never cease to provide inspiration.<br /> <br />Another trick to re-set your art-brain is to do some spontaneous collage:<br />http://mudbaymusings.blogspot.com/2009/03/spontaneous-collage.html<br />It's worked for me :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697161641890875482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605448674629528351.post-9520949968608686672010-09-19T05:50:33.464-07:002010-09-19T05:50:33.464-07:00Oh, yes, Jill!

I'll go through a whole roller coaster of projects after project that seem to flow easily and then down the hill towards the bottom of the slide where nothing happens. There's always an upswing! But no fun when you're stuck at the bottom!<br />Hugs, DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605448674629528351.post-29356088025737647742010-09-18T11:17:45.466-07:002010-09-18T11:17:45.466-07:00I go to the book store (and make sure my iphone is...I go to the book store (and make sure my iphone is in pocket) Then I look over all the new mags. and the books clicking pics to get ideas (not stealing) but if there is a color or shape or a combination of the two. I also whip out the old movie favs. (any Jane Austin) Sometime the colors and styles will excite my mind. Music will also help me get in the mood. But I also have my camera that way when I am scanning my pics on the computer I see things that have given me ideas lost and sometimes forgotten but suddenly brought back to life.Edith Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03216785157691078332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605448674629528351.post-49584076087843948642010-09-18T08:03:28.267-07:002010-09-18T08:03:28.267-07:00Hi Jill,
