When I first started walking years ago I didn’t set out to do both at once, it just sort of happened. Now I do it intentionally. No iPod with music or books, just wide open spaces for my mind to wander. And that allows the ideas to find a cozy spot to land. An oh, so very cool thing to watch unfold.
Today this process reminded of the questionnaire I recently filled out for the Cloth Paper Scissor magazine. The one question in particular that came to mind was, “Where do you find ideas for your work?” I can’t remember how I answered exactly, but I know it had something to do with having no control over the ideas, they just come. I suppose I should have answered through meditation, but that might sound too esoteric. And it’s not. It’s just plain and simple walking. And thinking. One foot in front of the other and I am worlds away. It is a beautiful thing.
Naturally there are other ways for ideas to formulate and land; this is just one of the ways that came to mind today.
But now I gotta know; where do you find ideas for your work?
The title of this blog reminded me of these mixed media on cardboard pieces I did two years ago.

Two pieces, two birds, two years ago, lots of twos going on in this blog.
There could be a reason for that. But more on that later.
I hope you have a creative day!

I like the idea of "twos"....like twins, of course.
Cynth,
Yep, two, two, two mints in one. You are in sync with my thoughts.
