Here I am again, posting early in the morning, because sometimes that seems to be the only time I can focus and get any work done. I've always loved the quiet house and ticking clocks and closed blinds and the idea that the whole day is infront of me!
While this post doesn't involve inspiration from any artists besides the use of my own wonderful mind, I do credit these early mornings for providing hours of inspiration throughout my life!
A few months ago I was passing a line of acorn trees when I noticed how strong and beautiful the acorn caps were. I ended up bringing a big bag of the little suckers home and announced to my husband that I was going to clean them and drill holes in them and paint them for some amazing project I had yet to dream up!
Turns out, he drilled holes in them. And he cleaned them. And he dried them. And he varnished them. .. but I painted them! I guess I also watched and cheered him on. What a wonderful husband!
How can you resist the combination of nature and color? I have already fallen in love with these dainty treasures. I've found one exciting use for my babies and I'm giving one away
right here!
