A few more pieces!

As the work stress increases it seems to impact my creative drive. The ideas have less time to marinate in my brain and after a long day the tired fingers and eyes do not lend themselves to much creation. This weekend has been spent relaxing at home while the snowy weather outside allows us do so without any other expectations involved. I sit here and make each individual piece as it comes to me. Some admittedly are not even ideas for myself, but for the lovely ladies around me. Inspiration can come from many different places, and lately I seem to find it in the women who compliment my work and those that I could visualize as wearing and supporting my work..... Here are a few more pieces....

Sigh.....

Restless, stuck in a cubicle all day constantly yacking away trying to remember my prompts and policies.... My brain gets overwhelmed by analyzing and documenting every second of the day. I tend to drift to thoughts of jars filled with oil pastels, crisp fresh canvas, piles of rainbow covered felt, and gobs of sticky, stringy hot glue. I run to this jewel colored paradise where the music flows through the room and loved ones gather to philosophize over schools of automotive thought and discussions about the powers of color. I wonder about all of the creative forces surrounding me and how they inspire me. Maybe this experience is showing me how it's done, how I can find a niche doing what I love. I'd rather be surrounded by vintage velvets and lace, day dreaming of tuck n' roll interiors, getting paint and grease under my nails, and dreaming up things that make me smile. A handful of vintage buttons has peaked my curiosity as of late and it's starting to reflect in my demos....
