Inspiration collage

[Susan Hosken]

Dear friends, I am going to start a little book of artwork that has inspiration for me so when I reread it in my down times I am inspired. Anyone want to do a collage that inspires you with words and or pictures.
I'm off to find a book to do it in. Need to clear my art table as well.

That is going to be a really useful project Susan. There's never enough inspiration about when you need some is there.

I used to keep an 'ideas' book but never thought of putting artwork in it. Will get re-started with a new book.

Janey,
i look forward to seeing what you are going to do. I hope you post some of your artwork. I have found the little book I want to use but haven't started yet. It is a smaller format than I am used to so not sure which direction to take. I am wanting the book to be about being my own best friend so i am starting my first page with friendship.

A collage that inspires me with words and/or pictures... I am thinking on this Susan. Sounds fun tho.

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

I collect a lot of images with words that inspire me online and keep them in an "inspiring" folder on my computer. This is a nice idea to do one you can hold in your hands when you want to, Susan.

Here is an inspiring one, it would be about 7.5 inches x 9.5 inches if it were printed out, but can be made smaller in my graphics program. If you need computer images resized for your little book, send it to me and let me know what size you need :)

Barbara, Thanks so much for the image for my little book. I have learnt how to resize photos on my Mac so I should be OK with that but thanks so much for the offer.

Susan. Here is a collage I made today. I think it rather fits here. If not just ignore it and me! LOL

Carol, I love love love the collage. I am a great believer in when a door closes another opens that sort of thing. It is definitely an inspiring collage. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, Susan, this is very interesting and I like it. Where did you get the information for this from? Thanks for posting it here... you are right, I probably would miss it otherwise.

carol, When I saw the dolphins down the beach I thought the animal spirits were sending me guidance so I looked it up on the net and the dolphins are many things including balance and what i wrote on the collage.

Cool, Susan :) I'll go check it out in the horoscope collage discussion, too. Looks like I see a cut up credit card ... neat way to use one.
