Nothing makes me quite so inspired as the publications that Somerset puts out (Somerset Studio magazine, Belle Amoire, Gallery, and more)... visit STAMPINGTON & CO too be inspired!
I have watched friends and fellow eBay & ETSY artists be featured (which always makes my heart go pitter pat)...
Somerset (and more specifically certain artist-friends) often makes me long to do more, be more, create more... but often I am paralyzed by not feeling my things are pretty, inventive, or wonderfully different "enough" (whatever THAT is!).
YET the pull to TRY ANYWAY triumphs :) - ! I have been collecting old jewelry, new jewelry, this and that, whatnots, and junque for many years for the purpose of assemblage...collage... sculpture.
I have sold such items at Live Art Festivals - but more recently offering them online now is a first... because I have finally stepped out of the shadow (I have been hiding in) to feature my own assemblage creations - little art dolls, brooches (pins), pendants, and ornaments...on ETSY! I am absolutely in love with them all and I have so many more inside me longing to be created.
