Thinking About What Direction I Want to Take

 

I have been very excited about some of the recent jobs I’ve had. I loved the sleek, contemporary look I did with Marc Bordet for the last Commercial Job…the Clubhouse.  I also loved that Concentric Circles bath I just completed in the Four Little Girls house. I’ve been reading the Design Inspiration blog daily and just love the new Big and Bold and Modern stencil lines that the Stencil Library designers have come out with. The ideas shown on their blog, using the stencils from this line are so inspiring…it makes my head swim!

This has led me to stop and really contemplate what direction I want to take my business over the next year or two. I want to do work that excites me and gets my creative juices flowing. I want to feel passionate about each and every job I take on. The good news is, that is happening at the moment! Now, my task will be to seek out mentors and classes that will help me push the envelope a bit with my work.

I am off to Montreal on Monday 7/2 – Friday 7/6, for the Montreal Jazz Festival and a little R & R! I’m leaving my cell phone behind, but am taking my laptop. I will resume writing when I return and may post here while I am on vacation if I see something that will inspire a future project. Please stop by again!

  1. Hello,
    I was browsing your website, and I thought you may be interested in a product I recently purchased, a “Color Theory” magnet set: http://www.simplememoryart.com/shop_MG104.html . There’s a color wheel, and different designs and shapes representing different color theory concepts, such as complimentary colors, monochromatic colors, even how optical illusion are created! It’s a great gift for anyone that has a remotely creative bone in their body. The magnets come in a sheet and can be snapped apart to create fun designs on the refridgerator. There’s a yellow insert that explains all of the color theory concepts.
    I thought this would be a great product review for your website, and just wanted to share!
    Many thanks,
    Lindsey
