Never (ever, ever!) underestimate the power of I N S P I R A T I O N
and the influence of everything we gaze upon.
This little mixed media sculpture ( assemblage .. . whatever )
is a testament to a composite of images that I've enjoyed over
the past 24 hours. After checking out Tristan's charming crown
collection at Enchanted Revelry , which then led me to Anita's crown
collection at Castles Crowns and Cottages ... . . it would
come as no surprise that I had CROWNS on the brain.
What was surprising, to me, was that I just didn't feel this guy
was complete until I gathered a bunch of lacy tulle around his
neck and secured it with a black ribbon.
Only after photographing him did I realize where that inspiration
came from ... . . the marvelous lace in the previous post!
Clearly, he looks nothing like any of the above visual inspirations.
Somehow they all filtered through me and prompted me
to sit down and rip cardboard and tie it up with ribbon & tulle.
And
somehow ... . .. . I find that fascinating.

So sweet, its always nice to know frem whhere the inspiration comes too. thanks for the blog comments!
He is utterly charming ... love the polka dot corrugated cardboard - I hope you won't be offended if I steal that idea sometime! And his crown is perfect!
I am always in awe of your creations! And I especially enjoyed reading about your sources of inspiration. Often times it is hard to put into words.
Oh I know! I love the way ideas incubate and then spring forth. He is really jolly. I love the oversized crown...something to grow into! And he does have an undeniable Quarter look to him. (As in French.)
Have a great weekend J -

love him/her, love the spontaneous crowning! smooches
