........................
what inspires you artistically & creatively? what would those inspirations look like visually? in this fun series, (please see the others here) ... i’ve invited some wonderful artists to share with us 4 images of inspiration in their artistic life, something of an interview in images! the guidelines were basically this: choose 4 visuals (something like your creative-stimuli *greatest hits!*) that you feel most inspires & expresses your art or craft today. for some, it might be a person, place or thing; a material; a pattern; a colour; a sound or song, etc. it might be a photograph, a drawing, a scan, etc. i’ve tried to leave it a bit open-ended so that we might better glimpse into these artists' motivations and their amazing, raw talent! today i’m delighted to present the next in the series : greatest hits with Red Marionette!
#1 – Home Décor.
Because I obsess about home décor. I love browsing through color combinations and textures and patterns that people mix and match. Especially for my wreaths I love the visual assault of color and texture. image
#2 – Vintage Christmas Cards.
Because I have quite the collection of very old Christmas cards that I pull from for inspiration. The smell, feel, sense memory that we all have from our childhood inspires me to keep the vintage feel. I want to make something you can treasure for years or reminds you of things from your childhood with a slightly modern spin. image
#3 – The Circus.
Because even my tent for shows is Circus Inspired! I find the flashy colors and basic shapes to be very appealing. Utilizing whimsy and fun is a requirement for me! image
#4 – Funny Animals
Because I love the little personalities each animal has. And I love even more the quirks that each person has! I try to put that into all of my creations and their descriptions. image
...............
wonderful.
thanks so much for sharing some of your beautiful inspirations with us, nicey!
now... one LUCKY rikrak studio reader will WIN: one Steve the Cat – Felt Pocket Animal AND a $30.00 Gift Certificate for anything in the store!
Kelli writes about the prize pack: Steve loves hiding in bushes and pouncing on unsuspecting passerby's. The distinct call of "HiiiiiYAH!" normally followed by the feeling of something fuzzy tackling your calf is his signature move. He is wonderful at keeping secrets and loves to play spy! He has a grand time keeping things in his belly for you. Steve can be used as a tooth monster (It should be tooth fairy, but he doesn't like to think of himself as a fairy) A gift card holder, a secret keeper or just a cuddly friend. He also is very skilled at keeping away things that go bump in the night as he is always watching and never needs to sleep!
Also included will be a $30.00 Gift Certificate to anything in the store!
