Ideas a-flowing

Having spent the day fighting with my website construction, i wanted to just relax tonight. I sat with the laptop and played my game a little but my mind kept wandering to the pendant thats been rattling round my head for a few weeks.

I have tried sketching it over the last week but it just wouldnt become clear enough in my head to put to paper.

Then all of a sudden about 2 hours ago i knew how i wanted it to be and i put it to paper, but i didnt stop there, i did a variation on the same design, and then thought of something different involving fretwork (my bracelet thats in progress at the evening class required a lot of delicate sawing so looks like i am in for more) and also made a second less complicated design inspired by the rims on my bike lol.

I am now going to try to go to bed but am gonna take my pad with me as i have a feeling i might find it difficult to settle with things riolling round my head, and if a design becomes clear, i wannna be able to record it, cos you know what my memory is like lol.

Does this happen to you all, do you find you head is fuzzy with a design and then all of a sudden the fog clears and low and behold before you know you are flooded with ideas?

All the time! I suspect you won't get much sleep tonight. If I'm mulling over an idea, I usually toss and turn for most of the night.

I have exactly the same problem -sometimes I'll even go to sleep then suddenly wake up with something. My biggest problem is I can't draw for toffee, so I have to make do with very rough little sketches and a lot of descriptive text.

My othe half thinks I'm crazy - but they say creative types are.

well i had a couple more ideas in bed but my sketching was awful, but at least they have helped me to remember them, so i will resketch them when my eyes wake up

Hope the flow continues today, but i guess its not something i can controll. Even my hubby came up with a nice idea, he has his moments too
