WOYWW: My Little Town of Inspiration



This week is already chocked full of creative projects and homework deadlines.  So, yesterday I thought I would take a break to film a recent doodle inspired by the online class I've been taking via Lisa Congdon.  It was a fabulous 4-week class and I look forward to more from her this year.

You'll see in the first image a little (and brilliant!) contraption in which my step-son built for me as a Christmas pressie.  What is it, you ask?  It's an i-phone holder that allows me to create time-lapse videos, eliminating the shaking motion I was getting previously when creating these.  With that said, enjoy my little time-lapse video of my "Little Town"...to the music of Simon & Garfunkle's "Our Little Town. :)

For more creative desks of inspiration, make sure to visit the lovely Julia Dunnit. Happy WOYWW!

    What a fantastic video, I loved it and what a clever son to make you a holder for the iphone.
    Love all your drawings.

    How cute are those little houses you created there
    The little file boxes on my desk are red one holds my 6 by 6 sheets divided up by colour and some companies that I use a lot of and beside it in the green one are images ready to be used divided by some coloured and companies and the rest of the box holds scraps by colours

    Thanks for calling by at mine yesterday and for you lovely comments.
    I really love your artwork...what talent.
    And just so you know .....no I don't have 3 machines....I have 6 :-) An industrial, 2 computerised sewing machines, an overlocker, a blind hemmer and an embellisher.......It's what I do and there aren't many weeks that I don't use each of them at least once. :-)
    Hugs,

    Fabulous little town video and I just love how you have shared your project in "motion". Makes me feel like I was watching over your shoulder. He he. Great invention by your step son, nothing worse then shaky videos. Have a lovely week.
