Wednesday- Inspiration Books









A while back I was asked what things I couldn't live without... These Holbein books were at the top of my list. I have been keeping my inspiration in them for years, and I have stacks of them now, each one with a different theme. This is my New Orleans/ Gypsy/ Carnival/ Showgirl book.... I had all my inspiration up on a board for months until I needed something else to look at. I took it all down, put it all away in here, and now can pull it out and obsess over feathers and powdery balloons to my hearts content.

I love your notebooks! I use to keep notebooks of my favorite images. I got out of the habit of doing it. Recently, this year I picked it up again. I realized how much I missed doing it.
