What inspires you? There is no one thing ...1. What inspires you?<BR/> <BR/> There is no one thing I can put my finger on that I find inspirational when it comes to creating, so I never know until it happens. I'm perhaps most inspired by music and how it reminds me of a different time. Be it Buddy Holly or Madonna. <BR/><BR/>2. What blocks your creativity?<BR/><BR/> Trying to hard to shove the square box into the round hole. If I'm tying to hard at something, I lose my way. Relax, and don't set time limits on your work/creative moments<BR/><BR/>3. Do you do anything special to get your creative juices flowing?<BR/><BR/>.. I dance. lol no really, like turn on some music and dance or, I read ghost stories online (yes I know how corny is that)<BR/><BR/>4. What time of day do you feel most inspired?<BR/><BR/>I'm exactly like you, most creative at night/evening hours. I am not a morning day person, never have been. <BR/><BR/>5. How do you like to express your creative energy?<BR/><BR/> In my real world, I enjoy cooking, gardening and knitting. All of those let me bring out my creative side. In SL making clothing perhaps is my favorite way to express myself, but I also enjoy landscaping and building prim accessories (many of which I never sell lol) I'm gaining a love for tiny prims :)<BR/><BR/>Alicia, I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Having ideas IS a talent. Being able to implement them is just... the working side. <BR/><BR/>You are already halfway there, working with your photos with filters and elements within Photoshop IS creative. <BR/><BR/>Have you tried making textures. Playing with a solid color and seeing what you can morph it into using filters and lighting and blur ect. I think you could bring a totally fresh and adorable feel to textures. then perhaps sell those to others like me :)Valryn Vandeverrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293881023478396974noreply@blogger.com
