Inspiration Post, w1

I ought to get back into this schedule of posting five things that inspire me every week. But it’s a little hard for me. When I’m truly inspired, I get up and I act on that inspiration. Which tends not to leave a lot of time for five things a week. So, my plan is restructure this for the new year. The first link will always be the one that inspired me the most. The following four links will be things that are important to me.

This week’s inspiration:

  1. This Video by LuckyWabbitWebDesign has a video series that goes right along with this month’s Learn a Skill
  2. I’ve been listening to Adrian von Ziegler‘s album, The Wanderer, for almost four days. Even though heavy metal is my favorite, this music is so relaxing and it allows for me to expend my creativity! I use this particular album while I’m writing my story about a swamp village, complete with fairies and will-o-wisps! Although, fun fact, wisps aren’t the friendly type. They would have lead Merida into a swamp, to her death. But I love those wisps anyway!
  3. A quote from the lovely lady Hellen Keller
  4. I actually attempted to cook this recipe by Just A Taste. I will admit, if I had followed the instructions, they would have been perfect! But I didn’t and they were still amazing to eat. So I recommend the recipe
  5. And finally, I have been inspired by my lovely printer. It’s a inexpensive Pixma Printer/Scanner combo. It likes to remind me that sitting in my room, scanning things for 4 hours, is not normal. And it likes to remind me this by failing to work after hour 3. But I can coax it for another hour before it quits and I remember that I should get some dinner

Does my inspiration help anyone else?

 

Inspiration’s Top 5, Week 8

So this has been an off week for me, but here’s what inspired me:

  1. My little sister sent this to me, the circle of life
  2. And sure it’s from 2011, but this song by Crown the Empire is really striking a chord with me (warning, this is not like the folk music so far posted)
  3. and this is exciting it need all caps: DOLL CHATEAU JUST RELEASED A NEW DOLL SIZE AND THEY’RE SOOO COOL!!!!!!!
  4. Just a cute thing i stumbled upon from Zenhabits
  5. This person posted about bronze sculptures and how 3d printing effects this craft

Inspiration’s Top 5, Week 7

This week, like a lot of girls, my hair is boring me. It’s been this white gold color for over a year so I want to add color again. So I’m trying to figure out what to do! So this week, most my inspiration is for my vanity:

  1. I love these colors for my hair
  2. I really want to color like this, to keep that white
  3. Halloween is right around the corner, perfect time to make these
  4. I bought a new binder to keep all my creative writing in
  5. And this sums up the mystery of modern art, Tracey Emin sold her bed as artwork in 1998 and it went to auction for how much?
