I is for inspiration

I am trying to work on a larger scale than the one I'm used to. The little format of ACEOs is non-threatening. Art squared (4x4) was a big step for me. This one is the largest collage I ever made - it is 5.5" x 8.5". There is some journaling, painting, collaging, stamping... the words say searching for, looking for, fishing for....... Inspiration. There is more text, scratched words and little hidden thoughts.

I often wonder do people try to notice little things that artists put in their work. It is fun when you can combine things... like I used Goethe's words "Boldness has power, genius, magic in it"... and found a little piece from a vintage book with the word magic and made a hat for the bird.
