I've followed her ever since ,I love her work and her blog .
Sandra tagged me to reveal 7 things about me, I think i've bored you all stupid on that here
but I loved Sandra's take on the theme here ,
Sandra shared 7 aesthetic themes that inspire her work , so I'm shamelessly
following suit.
To illustrate each theme here,
firstly, there's a collage of photos from my home and/or work in preparation ,
and thats followed by 4 examples of the theme in my work .
1: FLOWERS, FLOWERS AND MORE FLOWERS ...

The themes overlap quite a lot,
This was an interesting excercise for me...
I must go now to work on my latest masterpiece ..
Something really colourful shiny and sparkly with lots of handcrafted flowers
on a black background with lots of geometric pattern...
I'm supposed to tag seven others but instead , I'd like to just tag YOU.
What inspires you?
