I have sent you a pm.

Oh, a few different things. The main project I've been picking away at is a single image of the Origins of Faeries that will incorporate all the other Faerie Origins pieces that I've already submitted to my gallery. I still have several more creatures I want to finish before putting them all together, though. Aside from that, I'm trying to think "outside the box" and come up with a sci-fi contest entry, but I'm so NOT a sci-fi girl for the most part, so the Muse hasn't bludgeoned me with anything remotely workable yet. I am just about done with contests altogether though, I think... I was hoping to maybe pick up a couple of subscriptions here and there, but I never even place in any contests, let alone WIN any. I don't mind not winning, really - that's not why I do this. But I like the idea of doing "features" for other artists and that sort of thing. Otherwise, I really just do this for the fun and as a way to keep marginally sane in the midst of an otherwise mundane existence.

Inspiration? I don't think I have any ever, really - not that I can seem to draw upon on a consistent basis. Usually I just look around at photos and other images and something just screams at me "Hey! Make me into a centaur or a mermaid!" or something like that. No magic involved. I don't seem to have much of an imagination for surrealism or some of the dream-like images that others seem so capable of producing. I never dream, so that's no help - haha! That's why my images tend to be rather "realistic" (if you consider mermaids and elves "realistic" at all...). And my mind doesn't seem to have much of a "dark" bent, so that rules out that genre as well.

Time to do each one? Most of them take me DAYS or longer, but it's not a continual process (I have to squeeze in a few minutes here and there between my "real" job and family life, etc...), so it's not a terribly efficient system, but it's better than nothing for me. I wish I had more time all at once to work on my images, but bills must get paid!

And you? What's next on your creative agenda?

What is your fertile imagination working on at the moment? Where do you get your inpiration? And how long does it take you to create one of your manipulations?

I guess I never really thought about it before - at least, not in those terms. I've had people tell me that I have a "wild" imagination, but that seems so generalized. "Creative," but that sounds redundant. I think I like "fertile" - it suggests something that's growing - alive - bountiful - "ripe for productivity" - lol! Most of the time, my own imagination just scares the heck out of me, but that's because I have trouble dealing with the "real" world, I think. Not sure, really, but you've given me something to ponder!

lol - I don't think I've ever had anyone refer to my imagination as "fertile" before, but I like that! I hope not to disappoint you!

No I have made them favourites because I like them. I like what you do.

Well, I certainly hope that you didn't feel coerced into adding any of these to your 's but I appreciate it either way - lol! Thanks for the lovely compliment!

Thanks so much for the John! I'm intrigued, though... you have quite a stunning collection of beautiful favourites... but I don't see any Faerie creatures like I make in there... Guess I'll have to try and win you over, I suppose - lol! Thanks for the support...
