I've got a new idea for a necklace today that I'm pretty excited to work on. That's been happening a lot lately, ideas popping into my head, things to try, even when I'm not actively sitting in front of my work table, experimenting.
It's reassuring, really, as I've found it's a lot harder to keep the creative energy in one's life once school goes away and things like work, chores, friends and family start chopping up your time (delightful as some of those things may be).
But lately I've really been feeling it, the urge to create, so much more than just my jewellery, too. Inspiration has been coming from all around me, songs on the radio and shapes and smells, stories in books, shows and movies, even patterns and colour combinations pop out of everything I see. I feel like some sort of artistic vampire, hyper alert to my surroundings, ready to make a meal of any inspiration I come across.
If that's what the life of a full time designer/artist is like, than I've definitely made the right choice.
