Second article in "Be Inspired" ...

Last year, I wrote another creative article for 'Be Inspired' (click if you want to find out more about the magazine). This article continues on from the first one & outlines how I go about creating & designing some inspirational thoughts. In due course (ie. as soon as I have time!), I'll also be adding it to my sets of blogs.

Re-reading it, I've decided to label it along with 2 of my other projects (Interspection & Reflection) as I'm sure at a later date, it's likely to be integrated into 1 single 'project'.

First article In print ...

A few months ago, I wrote an article for a very inspirational & new magazine 'Be Inspired' (click if you want to find out more about the magazine) - in fact it's an addition to the already existing "Workbox" one.

The article traces the beginning of my current 'creative journey' & acts as a spring-board for other articles I'm planning next year as I start to work on a variety of artistic designs.

Moving head & reflections ...

A visit to here yesterday inspired thoughts of the 2 ideas (heads & reflections) from several years ago - both of which I hope to resurrect in some way. 

Housekeeping stimulates thought processes !

Sitting here with my leg up resting (fluid on the knee), I've been 'housekeeping my laptop'. Sifting through last years pix before moving, I came across this which I've cropped & is ideal for project 'Reflections'.  I thought it to be a good representation of how I was seeing my creative world at that moment in time.

(For anyone interested, it's the reflection seen in a large tray of water that was put in the garden as a birdbath - details another time of what it shows!)

Patterns ...

I've also come across some other pattern ideas:

Both of them occurred whilst using some old cine film as 'tape'. Working in my studio (with sunlight streaming through the window), I saw these beautiful patterns appearing. The first was just on the white top - the second against some hologram card.

Past Images ...

As I'm sifting through earlier work, I've come across a few images that remind me of certain techniques I need to expand on. Here's 2 contrasting references for 'Reflection':
