A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME...

"I saw a pretty bluebird, yesterday,

Rocking itself upon a budding spray--
The while it flutter forth a tender song,
That brought a promise of sunshiny days."

-Andrew Downing, The Bluebird-
A little birdie told me that nest building is not always easy.. Sometimes one must go out on a limb...Be open and fully expose ones self to new ideas...Try on a few new colors...Play with texture...

Nothing is carved in stone...Don't get in a hurry, sit with the new ideas for a while...

Relax and enjoy the process letting new ideas blossom all around you and hatch naturally...I am trying to take the little bird's very wise advice on getting the new studio space put back together. Today I am taking the day off from working on it and taking a flea market field trip to be inspired by some of my favorite dealers displays and maybe find a treasure or two that will spark new ideas. I have exhausted my decor and design books and I still don't have a real feel for this space. I know I want different but I have yet to figure out exactly what different is.

Since I don't have anything new to share I hope you won't mind if in the next few posts I dig into my stash of things I have not shared, like these sweet images from an old child's poetry book. Feel free to save them and use them in your art!(FREE IMAGE)

I wish putting this new space together were as easy as weaving the little nests, sewing the little blue birds, or even painting the tiny nut shell eggs!(FREE IMAGE)

I hope each of you are enjoying a beautifully blessed and inspiring day!

Blessings,
Miss Sandy
