I know exactly what you mean Charlotte.

I get inspired by everything and nothing. I know that sounds a little corny. I get inspired by other artists work. I get inspired by nature. Or a pictures in a magazine and I even get inspired by nothing... or when my life is quiet.
when my life schedule has no demands and I can just go paint or felt without the worries that I should be doing something for someone some where. Things just start coming out of my right brain then.... it is so nice. A wonderful place to be.
Tomorrow... we are going to swim with the dolphins... now that will be so over the top that it may take me months to process that into an art piece.

I find my inspiration comes almost by mistake - a funny, sad or touching tale by a close friend or a stranger - maybe something on the news - also poetry (I made one of my favourite quilts on the heels of a sad situation a friend found himself in - his tale made me think of Robert Frost's poem "The Hired Hand" - in the end, I named this partic. quilt for a line from this poem; "Home is a place you haven't to deserve") and also prose that could be poetry (ie. anything by Margaret Drabble) - plus, and above all, anything that gives me great joy: family, friends, animals, books, children's art, antiques, handcrafts, paintings, sculpture, music, trees, flowers, mountains, the sea, the sky, memories, etc.,etc.

I am inspired by colour in the landscape, I take lots and lot of photos when the sun is low in the sky. Some of my photos are very blurry and completely out of focus, but so is my felt.
