Do any of you carry around a notebook. I do. Worse case Scenario I draw on napkins or anything else I can find laying around.
I get ideas constantly that are triggered by simple things. I was watching How the West Was Won last night and Jimmy Stewart had carved a heart in a tree. I started sketching some ideas using a heart came up with the piece on the middle left.
I just went through my stack of notes and threw out probably 20 to 50 because I couldn't make sense out of my drawings. I'm trying to improve my sketches so I can figure them out later. I have a folder with probably a hundred or more ideas.
do any of you all do this? I wish I had time to experiment with some of these drawings. I do on occasion. I need a gift or a contest is coming up and Ineed a good idea so I go through the idea folder. My heart lamp came about this way. I had made a sketch of an EKG pattern on a hollow vessel. I never built that but it got modified and ended up on the lamp and was selected to travel with the AAW show.
