52 sources of inspiration

Something from me:

I came across a couple of posts on BeadCircleBlog about 52 sources of inspiration. I wanted to do something similar.

Look for inspiration in: architecture
nature

culture
in your field of vision
challenging yourself
networking with other artists in your field
what the top artists in your field are doing

Visit a: arts and crafts store
museum
library or bookstore
zoo
aquarium
botanical gardens
different country
few art/craft blogs

Base a project on: art history
emotions or moods
art movements
fashion movements of genres
poetry
legends and stories
a movie, play or novel
seasons
elements

Make something: for yourself
for your mother, sister or best friend
in honor of your favorite author
for a commission
aimed outside your target market
for what's in your closet
for what you want in your closet
for a special occasion
absurdly expensive

Materials: use your oldest
shop for new
use something that needs to be put away
incorporate found objects
use artisan pieces
play with something you've never used

Learn: a new technique
how to take an old technique to the next level
to play with color
to play with texture
to play with pattern

Browse: feedback you've gotten about your own art
your old art magazine stash
your sketchbook
Flickr
books on your art
books on a different art
coffee table books
your own list
