i'm absolutely OBSESSED with and ADORE the amazing handiwork of textile artist timor cohen.

read on to WIN a $40 gift certificate for a shopping spree in the TIMO handmade shop and to learn more about what inspires this fabulous artist! woohoo!
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 TIMO handmade (and a giveaway, too!)

I get inspiration from - Many different types of books -Because they are an excellent alternative to reality :)
