When I am uninspired there is one thing that always gets my creativity flowing. To look att the details in my home and photograph them.
The candle holder in the first two photos is a find from the fleamarket I went to last sunday. I was only going to find a place for it in our livingroom when I spotted the camera in the corner of my eye.
And by then the creativity was turned on for sure!
I went to the window sill in my work room and rearranged the stuff I have laying there . I put away some things I didn't feel would look good in the still life I wanted to create. Some things got chosen to be a part of it and I tried to put it all together in a beautiful way. I was not satisfied with the result. Something was just not right. I looked at the stuff I had rejected and there they were! All arranged beautifully on a vintage doily. And to the left was the silver plate almost empty but for two glass nobs shining in the sunlight.
The still life I was planning to make did not happen but that doesn't really matter because the feeling of creating something without thinking is sometimes the most rewarding.
