The Swatch Book is...

If you look at my profile, you will see I have a few blogs.
I'm an artist...and I am kind of leaning towards design work as of lately..
Hmm..
But the big thing is, that I have a gaggle of interests.
Tons of things appeal to me.
I sometimes get a bit lost in all the colors, prints, styles, ideas,techniques...etc.

I also am the 5 minute inspired...I will see something and am enthralled for 5 minutes..until I see something else, or the phone rings..then I can't recall what it...or even the something else was all about.
So in this blog, I am going to use the swatch idea to give a sampling of what's hot to me in whatever catagory, and make a recording of it!
I am hoping this will help me focus more in my work, narrow down and refine my style, and maybe even serve as a point of inspiration, and ideas for others.
I am pairing this blog with my wists...something I have resisted for awhile, due to concern about hotlinking.
I'm still not clear on it, but the idea of having all these ideas in one place is too much to pass up anymore.
I need cohesion.
I am hoping that this blog, and the wists will help me with that.
I am not completely in the dark about my tastes.
A jumping off point would be:
Orange, gold, reds
elephants
mermaids
turquoise, teals, aquas
certain purples
dots and circles
spheres
natural/nature
birds
hummingbirds
fish
knitting
cables
lace
rainbow
fables
fairy tales
candy
sex
lingere
BDSM


umm..I lost all concentration with the last few...erm...husband has had the flu this week...

ok..well
oh yeah...star trek and sci fi in general

which I am now going to go watch.
I have some pics I have taken as an excesize for this blog.
Maybe that will be a part of the blog...style and creativity excersizes.
First excersize was just to take photos of things I already have and love...or that grab my attention...something about them made me want to take a photo of them.
I'll post the results tomorrow.

Sorry for all the tags...easier to set up a bunch now, yanno.
