Welcome to Inspire Me Thursday...   A weekly dose of inspiration for
mixed media artists and creative types to nurture their muses and CREATE!

Wood

This week, let’s find inspiration in Wood. Think about the various uses of wood throughout time, both practical and decorative. Consider the symbolism of wood, such as the wood element in feng shui. Look around and explore wood in your environments, furniture in your home, building structures in your town, trees in nature.

Then think about how you can incorporate wood into your creative process or artwork. Paint a portait on wood. Carve a wood sculpture. Decoupage a wooden box. Or challenge yourself to use wood as a tool or be inspired by the texture or colors of wood.

Create a new piece of art for this challenge, post it on your blog, then leave your link* in the comments section of this post so we can go check it out.

* To ensure it is easy for us to find your artwork, please provide a link to a static page that will always show your submission, and not your website’s main page.
