Inspiration Station

Inspiration can often be found in the most unlikely of places...as long as you are open to the possibility. But sometimes the source of inspiration is as plain as the nose on your face...or the blog on your computer. I am often inspired by the words and images posted on art blogs and websites. For example Chris from Prism Trail fills her sidebar with constantly changing, individual links that inspire her at any one moment in time.

This in turn has inspired me to add a section to my sidebar which I am calling, fittingly enough, Inspiration Station. In it, I will post a link to the blog post, website, artist, artwork, podcast, book, video (well, you get the idea) that is inspiring me in the moment. It will be updated as frequently or as infrequently as I find new inspiration. So you are invited to visit often and click on the link for your own shot of creative inspiration. And speaking of...
