Where Do Quilters Get Inspiration?
Quilters find ideas for their quilts and fiber art from many sources…books, quilting groups, art, and the world around them, to name a few. My daughter does quite a bit with scenery and texture in her fiber art, so has begun taking photos wherever she goes. Her digital camera is usually with her.
I visited her blog last night (http://meanderingthreads.blogspot.com ) and was enthralled with some recent photos, “Fields and a Shed,” she’d taken of an old barn and our vivid New Hampshire autumn scenery. I was away on a business trip when she snapped them so hadn’t seen these photos before.
They might not be the type of photos you use for inspiration….or they might be. But they may give you ideas on what you might do with photography to glean ideas for your work. Study the scenery around you, the buildings, the views, leaves, tree bark, stonewalls, animals and people.
I also think Beth’s photos would be lovely for both paper and fabric post cards, as well as note paper. The artist in me sees ideas for oil or acryllic paintings. They also would make a great contribution for a scrapbook page.
