I'll be the first to admit that I am a nerd. But make no mistake, I'm not one of those typical nerds you find in 80s movies....though I do know my way around Star Wars lingo.. but I digress. I have conniption fits over Prismacolor releasing new colors for the pencils, I wait in line in freezing weather to purchase my paper on sale during Black Friday blitzes, and today I actually did a "happy dance" in the middle of a Michaels Arts and Crafts store.
Over the years I've gotten to know my framing department at this particular Michaels, which is nice- they know what I'm looking for, call me if they've sales coming up, and even let me know when they are going to get new merchandise in.
Well the new merchandise is going to be in soon- brand new frame moulds for their custom frames and all I can say is WOW! I started hopping around like a kid jacked up on too much sugar when I saw their new choices. Drawings immediately starting popping into my head of what I could fill those frames with, which I suppose it a bit backwards to how my creative process normally goes, but needless to say I got a nice boost of inspiration today :-)
