Not all my ideas work out and many need tweaking until I have something I like. Inspiration comes from a lot of different things such as a nice piece of fabric in my local scrap store or a chat with a friend.
It depends what the problem us. If I’m feeling yn inspired then I do a mix of taking breaks, playing with materials and making a mess in order to generate ideas. If I’m feeling de motivated or ‘lazy’ then I sort out my workspace and try and plan myself out.
