Where does an artist find inspiration,or does it find you? I guess that fits in the same category as which came first the chicken or the egg? It is all a matter of an individuals perspective. Is your glass half empty or half full?
My glass is usually full and overflowing. I get my designs from my dreams while I am sleeping, even daydreaming can yield some cool art. This is a sleeping dream design, I am like the Madhatter when I run to grab paper and pen. I have a real compulsion to sketch my thoughts before they are lost in everyday things. I later develop them in wire and stone, metal, or even canvas. The nice part is I may get 3-4 sketches from each dream so I end up with more than one piece of art!

Hey! Would you like to see a daydream piece?
I was tidying up in my studio, and I happened to pick up ,this salvaged Fleur De li. It would not let go of my hand, lol, next thing you know, I am cutting, filing and making a back plate to mount that pretty piece of brass that nearly found it's way to the scrap box for recycling!
Absent-minded daydreams can reap unexpected inspiration. Next time your mind starts to wonder, just go ahead and let it. No telling what might wait at the end of the your rainbow:)
This link will take you to my Shop if you are interested in adding this piece to your collection:)
