an *inspiring* little game! {part one}

wall A

I love games.
and i love seeing others' inspirations!

so here's a fun game for all of us.

i've become very fascinated of late with the idea of inspiration boards or idea walls. i've seen images of many amazing little walls or boards dedicated to carefully collecting different little goodies that inspire the artist! i love it! i see amazing ones all of the time on flickr from some of my fabulous contacts. i see folks talking about them in the news and in lovely magazines. and in the past few weeks, i've seen some great posts about inspiration boards
(i'm thinking here especially of kotori's great post!)

i'm fascintated with how they look. how they feel, and what folks choose to add to them. i'm also interested in how they relate (or not!) to the artist's work! i love it!
so i found some of my faves in the blogosphere, and I thought we could do something fun with them!
........................................

the FUN RULES:
take a look @ the images below (and the one at the top!) .... each inspiration board or wall belongs to a fun artist whose work I’ve featured at the end of this post in the *the artists* section.

see if you can, without looking/researching, match the inspiration board to the artist. (i.e. A1, B2, etc).... please post your guesses below in the comments! it’ll be fun!

...................................

each image links to the artists’ photostream... BUT try not to look until after you’ve entered your guesses. it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong - i just thought it'd be fun to try and guess!

thanks so much to the artists for sharing their amazing boards and work.

i’ll be posting the answers later today in a separate post.

(but if you're REALLY eager to know .... just click on the board photos!)
