I'm curious, do you have a "secret" that helps inspire you to get into the creative mood? Or are you in that mood all of the time? I find that it ebbs and flows depending on the day. My "secret" to get inspired starts with a walk. Often it's on a hike or exploring a new town. However, I will remove my glasses so everything gets a little blurry. Often times I'll see something in the distance and I won't be able to make it out completely so I create an image in my mind what I think it might be and as I get closer to the object it changes ever so slightly until it comes into a more clear image. Usually somewhere between what I see and what it is becomes an idea for a sculpture. Weird, right?
