My Inspiration Board

 Click to Enlarge

Today I thought I would share with you my inspiration board. It has words of positivity, images that I took of places I love around our coastal region. The pier was taken at Lake Tahoe, CA. and represents taking a leap of faith. And I have just a few of my art work images posted up there. I am wanting to create another inspiration board of artwork *not mine, color, texture and fabric. I promise to share it when its done.

I have been painting every day, mostly in my journal this week. I have a new journal page and illustration coming up to share on Sunday! It was a busy past weekend helping Sammie with creating a how to make a zine from one sheet of paper, for a school project. We did a step by step board.When I get my camera sorted out I will take pictures of the images to share with you. It was fun! I decorated it with collaged images from a magazine, while Sammie did her own. I would love to make another of artwork and print it off.

What creative projects are you working on?  Do you have an inspiration board? *if so and you have done a post on  or have it posted on flickr it leave a link in comments so we can see it!

Inspiration Board which is hung in my painting area~
My inspiration board is located where I paint and craft. In my journal I created a mood board for a class I am taking to represent what I am trying to share and want my blog to be like. All the photographs and artwork are done by me. My inspiration board has Color my world ~ passion, I can, success, color. In each I tried to put things I am focusing on and wanting to achieve and share via my art and blog. I hoped you enjoyed a peek of my private side!
