Third Ironing Board

18 years ago

To replace the one in guest bedroom that I sold, and am glad this is the last one cuz I got bored and ran out of ideas. I need new inspiration cuz I'm bored w/my style. I just waxed the wood on this one.

    Slow it's really great! Love your swirls. I can't believe I heard you say, you are getting bored with your style!
    You sure wouldn't know it by the stuff you've been putting out lately. It's always a joy to see what you've done.

    How in the world can you get bored looking at that?!?
    You have a unique style that I personally find quite
    wonderful to get lost in :o)

    I wish I had your style, do you think you could mail it to me? I'd love to crank out some Slow inspired projects for awhile. I could always send it back to in in a month or two!!! LOL

    Love your swirlies and colors!

    I think it's gorgeous! Maybe try something other than swirlies...although that seems to be your trademark. BUT...if you're looking for something new, do a google image search for "Mandala Circle." Personally, my goal is to get good enough, and disciplined enough (to not quit 1/2-way) to do something as intricate as a Mandala pattern, or a kaleidoscope pattern.

    My latest inspiration came from this simple source: I was pouring a Mini Moo creamer into my cup of tea. Without stirring, the beautiful swirls & colors that were created before the cream hit the surface again were GREAT! Now how to capture that image in a mosaic?????!!!

    Nuthin' boring about it! BEAUTIFUL, as usual. It doesn't look like you used a lot of jewelry in this one. Maybe that's why you're not liking it? I only live a block away....

    I wish I could ACHIEVE the freeness of your style. Try not to be stuck in the box,probably why I cant get anything finished. Love the ironing board SLOW. Its FABULOUS!

    I love it Slow! but you know that I would... cause your style inspires me.

    But yes, it is becoming apparent that you are boring yourself LOL... maybe you need an exercise of sorts... but we know that SC was not it! lol Try something different that will force you to stretch... monocromatic?

    Sculpt something?

    I agree with everyone..we all love your style but at this point if yur bored...do like nice says and change up..

    your ironing bored (get it bored!!!) is wonderful. I always love your colors and swirls. I just love looking at your pictures cause there is always so much to look at..the wall, the floor, everything!!!!

    it's beautiful and it's a shame you have gotten bored..
    sometimes that happens, when you reach a certain point in what you do..
    the beauty of it, is that your style is a signature
    now, maybe you might think of drawing a complicated idea, that will take you along with your style and still go beyond it....

    ever thought of the really intricate ones of the old masters?

    you could surely handle that....
    put your thinkin cap on and don't be discouraged..you're the one who is making it possible for a lot of us, to keep on truckin', when sometimes it's hard to even begin....
    me, for the first one in line, for what I say..........

    Slow, we all obviously love your work and truly get inspired by your, and many others on this forum, artistic ability. I don't think boredom is a bad thing 'cause then you strive to move on to something else and that can be even greater than what you've already acheived. We all must evolve. I am anxiously waiting for your next stage of artistic development. (even if it's not mosaic.)

  • 18 years ago

    Have you tried building a retracting dome on the roof of your house and mosaicing that?

  • 18 years ago

    Slow, it's beautiful, love all those swirls, I think you just need to do some different stuff.I think if you create another larger niche using the rianna method you could loose that boredom fast,

    I was thinking the same thing. You have mosaicked everything
    there is to mosaic! The Rianna stuff really seems to get you jazzed up. Can't wait to see where your art goes from here.

    mmqchdygg- ROFLMAO that was funny,,,,but the funny thing is I could see slow actually building one and mosaicing it!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Where's Slow??? I've noticed her posts have been absent this week. Are you working on another big project?
