:: inspired by ::

Felted Wool Acorns: Lil Fish Studios
Felted Poppy Necklace: AVA Original
Mushroom Pincushion Terrarium: Woolly Fabulous
Felted Wool Slippers: Grazim

Today I thought I'd share a little inspiration with you from a recent etsy surfing adventure! I simply typed the word "felt" into the handmade search box and found the lovelies pictured above. Ooh, and this was just the tip of the iceberg! The work by these artists and others I stumble across truly inspire me.

Other things I find inspiring:
nature hikes
movies
window shopping
flickr surfing
art galleries
thrift and antique shops
craft stores
watching kids create

By the way, my husband and I recently watched the film Between the Folds on Netflix. It's a documentary exploring the art, science, creativity and ingenuity of the world's best paper folders. It's origami! It's math! It's brilliant! I highly recommend watching it.

What do you do to fill up on inspiration?

That's a great idea--looking for things for inspiration. Quite honestly, I come to your site for inspiration.

We just saw Between the Folds last week when I was surfing the Netflix streaming options. It was a great movie. My 5yo daughter and husband also watched!
