I like taking photos of things that inspire me. Then I like to place those photos where I see them every day. I picked up the glass beads in a store because I thought they would make a good gift for one of my nieces but it would be months before I would give them away and so I put them in a place I would not lose them, on the pedestal of the large screen for my computer. It is several years later, and they are still there, because I decided I really liked them for myself. I also really like feathers and am always picking them up on my hikes or just walking down my driveway. The Peacock Feathers I bought at a craft store since I don’t have a good source for them. I love Feathers… I was on my first year of taking Nicolesy’s 52 week challenge and inspiration for each challenge was everywhere or nowhere depending on my mood or the challenge. I had just gotten a new phone and needed a new photo for the screen. I was feeling the need to create and probably needed something for the Green Challenge or the Flat Lay challenge. Sitting on my back deck and looking at the deck floorboards I decided to play with the feathers and the different colored glass beads using the deck boards as the backdrop for the photo. This was the final result, I used this shot for whatever challenge I decided to put it in and then photographed it with my phone and placed it as a screen saver. I see it everyday and it is still inspirational.
