Where Do We Look???

We may be in May but before you know it our deadline for the Spring Juried Show will be here.  Do you have your calendar marked for June 28th, 2024 for the Deadline?

With the theme for this Juried Show being Dragon Tales, Faery Tales & Heroes where do you look for inspiration?  That is what's fun about this time of year.  It's all around us.  For example, can you see the fairy/fae face in this image?  The picture was taken by myself.  I was looking thru my outside door at my trees in the yard when all of a sudden the light hit everything just right for me to see him.​  Luckily he stuck around long enough for me to find my camera and take a picture.  That doesn't happen often. (laughing)

It does take a little imagination and a lot of play to capture these magical creatures.  But they aren't the only source of inspiration.

Stories are a great resource.  Tales we read growing up like Knights fighting Dragons, Dragons befriending a Princess or even the tales of far off countries where there were young peasant boys saving the princesses from evil.  Don't forget about the boy who defeated the evil that we dare not mention.  Heroes show up in the most interesting way.  We all have a favorite and what better way to bring those fun loving memories to life, than by creating a special character through sculpting.

I hope you enjoy finding that special magical moment and can't wait to see what has inspired the inner child within you.
