Holiday Lights as Inspiration

Today I'm sharing a video of the lights at St. Paul's Hospital and nearby on Burrard Street in Vancouver. Notice the repetition of line and shapes (mostly stars!). Come to think of it the snowflake is really a variation of the star, isn't it?

It's worth walking by to have a look. But if you can't go there then you could simply enjoy watching this video again and again!

Inspired by Melonhead Knitwear!

Fiber arts can be a wonderful source of inspiration. The colors plus the textures, both visual and tactile, can be so stimulating. I was very inspired by Carmen Craig-Martin of Melonhead Knitwear. She is truly a fiber artiste who loves what she does!
I just love the hat I got from her and included in this little video I created from footage that features her booth at the West End Market in Vancouver, Canada.

Enjoy!

Inspiration from a Hotel Room...what!?

How often do you stay in a hotel or motel and get inspired?

Recently while staying in a hotel room, I got a little inspired by finding a variety of patterns and textures.

The result of my discovery is this goofy little video.

So next time you feel stuck, go stay in a hotel or motel. And keep your eyes receptive to seeing something different.
