welcome to the group dear Kiki and thank you for your stories Carien and Pam! I loved to read them. Sometimes before I fall asleep I see a lot of pictures and colours in my mind's eye. As soon as I try to capture one of the images it vanishes or changes.

For me sometimes something will just pop in my head when I'm quiet, like driving alone in the car or sitting with my feet up listening to music, so I'll put it on paper, then it grows into what it's actually going to be from there.  Sometimes I wake up thinking about something so I'm guessing it was part of a dream I don't remember.  Sometimes something I see will trigger it, and I'll put it on paper, but it always ends up being something else by the time I'm done.

I move, the inspiration takes its chance: it happens when I hold a snippet of paper in my hand, looking for another thing in my studio. I grab something from down a pile of things (books, magazines, etc.) and there it is: the perfect place for my snippet!

Actually inspiration takes place in mysterious ways, and usually not when I sit still and wait for it. So I keep on going and ideas follow me, chase me, catch up with me. Fortunately I have a brain that likes to combine things.

a warm welcome to Pam, Ilya, Carien and Gianni. what are your experiences with inspiration?

my latest interesting experience was that me and Ilya created something with confetti more or less at the same time - without knowing that the other person was working with this material.

I can't remember seeing anything with confetti in the time near before. So the "idea" must have ghosted around somewhere around us.  :)  - so interesting and kind of "magic"

so, dear friends of inspiration: did you make the experiment to capture the moment when you are inspired? or did you realise at some point where your inspiration came from?  i will be excited to hear your stories and thoughts about it :)
