If I need a push-along with a project, inspiration is so easily accessed...there are wonderful books, magazines and a whole universe of on-line material in which to immerse oneself. It's immersion therapy - one wallows in a collection of colours and patterns and images, in the ways that others have collected and remixed, and after basking in this extraordinary collage, I find I can't wait to get back to my own work and let my own creative energy go crazy on whatever it is I'm doing.
Pinterest is full of visual feats - I can revisit my own pin boards or have a look at others or get a bit of pinning action...

The library of crafting books out there is growing daily. State of Craft by Victoria Woodcock is a recent favourite...in fact anything that is a like a visual/literary craft compilation I find to be fascinating: Craft Activism by Joan Tapper and Gayl Zucker; and Handmade Nation by Faythe Devine and Courtney Heimerl.
And there are some lovely mags for sale as well...I really find the new-ish
at times, and it reflects the sans-frontiers cachet that stalks craft.
Sunday is the perfect day for a bit of craft-immersion!
Enjoy your days, and weeks ahead!
