Exploring the Inspiration

Inspiration is such an ethereal substance.

I glean the internet for art blogs that inspire me.

 Let me tell you, there are lots of treasures out there.

I have old favorites that have been on my radar for years.

 Every so often I find a new one that makes me ask:

 "Where have you been all this time?"  

That is what happened this morning.

As I was perusing an old favorite I was led to Marilyn's blog:
  In My Room.

I was so inspired by her Deli Paper Tutorials,  that I put down my digital brushes

and started spreading some acrylics.

Do you think she's SASSY?

This is a page in a book and not deli paper.

But the book is an old one (about shellfish farming, of all things)

with those delicious thin slick pages.

Besides brushes, I used

 a straight-edge,

a pizza cutter,

 and a tiny toy muffin tin

to apply the paint.

Thanks, Marilyn for the inspiraton!

I hope I can pay it forward by inspiring someone else.
