A muse visited me this morning

This muse visited me this morning. I initially was intrigued by some green netting from a bag of avocados. I went to my art table and begin opening the little drawers in my plastic storage chests. I wanted to find some trinkets to put on netting and then take a digital.

In these little plastic storage chests I store all the interesting junk I collect: buttons, metal, paper, dress tags--anything that I find inspiring.

I opened one drawer and there she was. I created a crown for her: plastic autumn leaves and pretty coral colored roses. I placed her on a nice textured piece of recycled upholstery material. Presto! My muse appeared! Enjoy...when does your creative muse visit?

I read an interesting article about a jewelry artist who said that the muses visited on some days but not every day. And, that was OK...
