Sometimes there are days when I hit a complete drought where creating is concerned. I will nearly always start off with a beautiful antique postcard as my first inspirational piece. Then from that place go absolutely no where! Believe me I mean no where!!
I will sit and look at the image for ages waiting for something to click and settle in my mind and it never comes. This image was a perfect example! There have been times I have abandoned an image because I am in such a rut in regards to ideas and vision. This young girl is so beautiful that I felt sure I would be romping along but no, after a couple of days of hacking in bits and pieces I was no nearer a finished design.
The hardest part of this design was if you would believe it the background! I tried so many before I got to the simple sky idea. Wish I had though of it earlier and from that jumping off point I was off and running.
Sometimes it can be so frustrating but when you do finally get to the point where it all works and comes together it is magical.
I hope you enjoy this new Fairest Of Them All Collection and have a great weekend of creating!

Hello Dear Maureen,
ReplyDeleteHow glad I came back and looked around, today or I would have missed you.
Your Fairest Of Them All Collection is lovely and I love this girl with the turquoise background with the pink roses. Just perfect!
My creativity takes a nose dive often and especially if I am working on the item, pillow, bag, etc. I go and look at my files of pictures to get going again. That usually works, but there are times when I just have to go about doing other things and let the creating go for a bit.
Love to you!
Jil ♥
