Kat from A Second Glance asked when I feel most creatively inspired, With art, I can be inspired anytime, with an image.

Badgley Mischka RTW Spring 2012

A scene outside a store.

Especially if I look at someone else's art,

At the Community Arts Center

When I read or someone tells me a story.

My art journal page 
It says: "You can cut all the flowers
but you cannot keep spring from coming."-Pablo Neruda

I'm mostly inspired by other people.

Alexis Mabille 2012 Spring RTW

Children inspire me.

In the car with my friend's son Little T. 

 

Art journal page

Its says: "Spring sprang suddenly onto the land."-Jean Giorno

I'm inspired by music.
When I hear it,
when I see it live or on TV, &
when I try to play it myself.

 Local band we saw last week. I don't know their name.

Just Cavalli RTW Spring 2012

Nature is also a good source of inspiration.

I saw this butterfly while I was getting gas.

Can you see how I use my inspirations in my art?

I do my best writing, first thing in the morning, right after I wake up. My guy is really good about when he sees me writing, to not interrupt, nor break my concentration. If it's quiet, I can focus for a long time. I do better, if I can have uninterrupted time,
in silence.

winnie the pooh

These colors & patterns remind me of
Winnie the Pooh & Tigger too.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

I've always loved Winnie the Pooh.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

When I was little,
 my aunt sewed a homemade
Winnie the Pooh for me.
I got it for Christmas.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

It was the color of these shoes.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

I took that Winnie the Pooh with me
all over my childhood house.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

For a time, it was my favorite stuffed animal.

The stuffing started to come out
 of my bear.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

The arms were falling off,
 & the head was hanging by a thread.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

I remember being sad,
for I liked to think my toys were real.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

My aunt ended up making me
 a total of 3 Pooh Bears.

Aquilano E Rimondi Fall 2011 RTW

I loved them all so much, they fell apart.

My nephew riding his toy Tigger.

For a long time I kept them on a shelf.
 

Can you see my brother's feet,
& his face?
He's behind my nephew.

I wanted to keep them for always.

Who is that bratty child? 

One day I must have thrown them away.

My mom made my dress, 
& she made my cake too.

For I don't have those homemade Pooh Bears anymore. I don't know what happened to them. 

This is Chandra's tattoo.
No, I don't know her,
but I like her tattoo.

I imagine I thought in order to be a grown up,
I had to let go of my childhood.

I like this tattoo.
 I don't know why I found it here.

I don't know what I was thinking.
I wish I still had them.

Who is your favorite Winnie the Pooh character?
