back and forth we grow

I have always been one that writes with music, and depending on the music my writing changes. However, I usually find myself listening to instrumental, folk, or smooth songs. It is a guitly pleasure of mine to wander around youtube looking for accustic versions or even covers of songs. There is so much undiscoerved talen out there and I think it is wonderful that creative people have outlets like youtube, flickr, and blogs where I and others can discover such wonderful inspiration. I personally believe creativity thrives on a back and forth process. You see something wonderful, and try to make it your own, thus making it different. Then someone else sees it and makes it their own, changing what they want to change, adding their style. I believe without feedback and inspiration from others, we can become stagnant. 

So, as I was wandering I found this beautiful voice. Her name is Meghan Tonjes. I believe she became wellknown on youtube for her tuesday resquests, where she covers mainstream songs. She has been on Ellen  and now has her own cd out. It is a wonderful story really.

I have been feeling better this morning and have returned to my studio window. I have completed one cushion cover, and have three more to go. However, my supply of blues is dwindling and I must venture off to the great Hela store. This journey would be quite a long one without a car, and therefore my darling grannies muct wait until the mister can lend me the four wheeled wonder. So I have been playing around with my other colors. At the moment I intend on making a variation of this.

And here is a quick update on the colorful poncho.

Here is what I am listening at the moment.

wow, you work really fast. Your poncho is nice, I like your colors. Good that you are feeling better now. I keep my cold like something important. It´s boring after three weeks.
I think that you are right. Creativity isn´t a solitary thing it works by exchange from different influences.

Apparently a lot of people have been keeping their colds. I tend to do things fast. I don't know if it is some form of crazy, but when I do something I have to do it and I can only think of that one thing....There is so much crazy its hard to tell what is and isnt, lol :)

Definitely too little time.
