Image File for Inspiration

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin

From time to time I will post ways to keep you inspired .......with ideas, pictures and words so that when you hit a dry spell in coming up with a creative project you will have a file of different ideas to get jump started again.
So one that I find really helpful is to make an Image File.
  •  Tear out pictures from magazines
  • Make copies from books or the internet
  • Save a card, menu, program, map or anything that attracts you and that you love.
 Keep these papers in a file or huge envelope. Post some of them on a board that you hang in your creative space. You can continually add to this file. Let me know if you have any other ideas to add to the image file.
