What gets you going then?
Karin’s journal asked us to describe what inspires our art. I was surprised that many of the entries were actually visual links, like being inspired by patterned papers. I don’t really work that way—although I am often inspired by other works of art, a product on its own rarely inspires me. Instead I wrote about my process of choosing the right mood music for creating. The background paper has the lyrics to ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ and the accordion book is half an explanation, half a list of songs that inspired specific projects. Yes, that frame stamp is upside down. Yes, I’ve been going overboard on the metallic rub-on recently. And I love the lace—someone very kind gave that to me at Scrapbooktopia and it is actually from a wedding dress. Obviously I am not kind enough to leave it white, of course.
And if you’re that curious, the music credited for this is Lisa Loeb’s ‘Firecracker’, Tori Amos’ ‘Little Earthquakes’ and Britney Spears’ video for ‘I Love Rock & Roll’. Yeah, really.
