Woke up this morning to the sun - finally. Seems like it has been grey for too many days in a row. I broke out the camera to try to capture something other than grey skies.
From there I went to the Michigan Weavers Guild meeting. It was one of the better meetings we have had in a long time. One of our members, Lois Bryant, gave a talk on inspiration. It was interesting to see some of the early art work she did in grade school and college and how she has come back to themes or a look she had 30 years before.
After her presentation she did an exercise with us where she had us cut blocks out of magazines then mount them. She uses them as a starting point to spark an idea - whether it is a shape or a color palette. It was interesting how each of our "cut-outs" were so different. An interesting exercise would be to do it in another color pallet that you normally are not attracted in.
