Some days I surf around on Pinterest, and I get so inspired I can't wait to dig around in my stash of vintage stuff and play. I have things horded stashed in boxes in my basement just so I can take them out and photograph them.
I love walking around outside, the flower gardens in the local park is a favorite destination, trying to capture the light and the beauty with my camera. But then there are times I like to get some of my vintage lovelies out and play. I love to set up still lifes with them. Layer them, rearrange them. It's almost like playing house when I was little. And it makes me feel like I'm at least getting some use from all of the crap treasures I'm always dragging home.
And then I can't wait to sit down at my computer and play. Create. Make art. Of course I love playing with textures and overlays, and now Kim has me playing with brushes. But I also have been playing more with actions. I can sit with one photo clicking and clicking and clicking different actions. And I wonder where the time goes, and why dishes pile up at my sink.
I'm linking up today for Texture Tuesday at the Cafe. Lots of beautiful art there, I hope you have time to take a look and enjoy the creativity and inspriation shared there. And for those of you visiting from the link up, welcome! I hope to make it around to see you too.
