A Block

Thank you Marisa, I think I will try that and see if my brain block goes away.

hi Sonny! When I get those moments, I go to the pictures books of all kinds at the library. Art books, historical photos, childrens illustrations....and also get outdoors. Look at rocks, plants up close, pretend you havent a clue what any of it is and stare at the structure and color parts. have fun! Sarajane

Hey, Sonny. I don't pay any attention to "fall colors" because I make what I want, not what I want to sell! LOL. But since you are male (likely more logical) just Google fall colors -- you will get more information than you ever wanted.

And for inspiration, I go to Ebay. If the pieces selling in the artisans category don't do it for me, I do a search for vintage jewelry and bask in the wonders of years past.

Sometimes, when we can't create, it is because we need a break. It will pass.

Go to the store and buy the September issue of "In Style" magazine, it will tell you all you wish to know about the Fall clothes and colors. Then sit down and design something to go with one of the outfits.

Patti, that's a great suggestion and made me think.

The magazines I use for inspiration are Vogue, which is a riot of thrills (the editorial pages *and* the ads) -- plus Beadwork, and Bead & Button (which has gotten better lately). I used to use Victoria, but they're defunct.

I really like House & Garden for inspiration... other home-decor-type magazines do it for me, too.
