1. Mood Boards for Inspiration

The Blogging Your Way e-course that I'm taking has really set all those rusty brain cogs back into some semblance of motion (can you hear the creak creak ow creak?). I'm rethinking not just the way I blog, but my life in general now. Lots of planning and exploration going on and it's all very exciting.

I've created two mood boards, one digital and one made up of some of the things I love from around the home. I see now that I'm going for subtler colours, more smoky as opposed to bright, although as you can see from the digital board, those colours still lurk around in the background, splashes of unpolished joy.

I've added a few of my illustrations, old and new, onto the digital board. There's quite a bit of fun there, and, hopefully, humour.

But I discovered, as I assembled objects for the second board, that I'm leaning more toward a pure canvas of white, with accents of colour - but softer, cleaner. And perhaps that's a better alternative for my blog redesign plans ... a clear backdrop against which my (colourful) art can display itself? What do you think?

I'm still exploring. I've barely begun, so I'm not sure yet what direction I'll be taking, but it's all quite a revelation, really. Love the way this class has made me view things from a different perspective. Let's see where this adventure takes me ... cheers.
