Okay, perhaps it wasn't frozen tundra, but I am back from visiting my delightful relatives in Wyoming. (40 mph winds and -10 degrees!) In typical Lamberson fashion, we were snowed in, and couldn't leave town. This is a photo of the road as we braved the just opened highway. Taking a few days off gave me time to think about creativity and working in glass. Do you ever just sit and think? Where you want to go, what you want to do?
The cold and wind chill did not inspire my creativity, nor did the extra splash of kahlua in my coffee either. But there was one funny thing that did.
Have you ever played Apples to Apples? It's one of those fun family games that just about anyone can play. You are given a topic and you have to match as best as possible, one of your cards to it. I kept thinking that there is a connection there to creativity. It was fascinating to see how different people thought. It made me wonder how that could relate to my glass art.
And then I realized that it reflected the way I think sometimes. I enjoy putting two things together that don't exactly fit. Whether it's monkeys wearing hats, or birds wearing jewelry, having two pieces that are a little atypical, tends to make me smile.
So tell me about your holiday. Were you inspired somehow? Or have a brainstorm in between the sugar overloads? I'd love to hear.
See you tomorrow, right here. http://www.studiomarcy.blogspot.com
I was thinking about you--had seen on one of your other posts that you were Wyoming-bound!!! My family all met up in the Black Hills, right about where the 40" of snow fell--spent an extra day digging out--beautiful to watch the snow, BUT it was horribly cold and windy, too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that photo of the highway--drove one like that down TO my aunt and uncle's place on Dec. 23rd. Don't you MISS that, living in Atlanta?????????????
Sending Happy New Year hugs,
Caroline
