We may not even know it....yet.... but there is a use for just about anything. Take this piece of standalone lace I made on our new embroidery machine (well we have had it since last October so it still qualifies for new), it was just to see how the whole thing worked but I am sure it will have another life as part of some project. Inspiration comes in so many forms and random thoughts, to me at least - and to my three wonderful sisters as well - I may be just taking a walk and something will just pop into my head and launch a creative process. I see things in nature on a daily basis that inspire me to create. Beautiful flowers, odd cloud formations, gorgious sunsets and/or sunrises, quirky trees with oddly bent branches or a particularily brilliant color - all make me happy and all have me wanting to capture their beauty for eternity some how.
As for this piece of lace..... i think i will try it again with silk thread and see if it softens up a bit.
I keep watching at the local thrift store and online at places like ebay for vintage trims, buttons, whatevers that can only add fun to our projects and in turn inspire more projects. Happy crafting, whatever form it takes. It is my sincere belief that creativty is essential to a healthy mind, keeping it very active and also allowing us to share our joy with others.
