I love reading books on creativity, although I don't seem to have a problem with finding creative ideas just lately - more an inability to stick to one thing at a time!
I've been reminded in many of these books about how a child will pick up a crayon and just draw, without any hang-ups or worries about ' what shall i draw', 'will it be good enough', and the dreaded 'blank page' syndrome many of us seem to suffer from!
So, I decided to start doodling again - something I used to do a lot, usually on scraps of paper or notebooks whilst on the phone. It's a great way to get the ideas flooding!
Inspired by browsing through my Arts & Crafts/William Morris books, I've drawn this tile using a black ink pen, and then watercolours - felt very strange to have a paintbrush in my hand, it's been a long time - but great fun! So much so, I started another - so the second one is work in progress!

Beautiful doodles and it's great to find out where your inspiration comes from for the lovely shapes you create with your cut out silver pieces. I am also a fan of William Morris and you have definitely captured something of his work in your doodles.
Keep creating, your jewellery is fab.

These doodles are beautiful,I love the shapes/floral patterns and the way its all contained within the tiles borders to create beautiful finished pieces :)
Thank you Kristen and Carolina! I had lots of fun doing these :)
