Finding Everyday Inspiration, Day 2 – Write a List

Something seems to have gone a little screwy and I was not getting my emails? But thanks to a friend who is forwarding me hers I will get back on track! Writing a list seems silly to me in a way, and I am not alone, judging by what others have written. Don’t get me wrong…

So I sort of went grungey B&W surreal fairy-tale. Apart from the boy (which is a composite of 2 images as well), I used the images below to help create ‘Tinkerbell’ and the background, as…
