Inspiration Club

Last Updated Thursday, January 6, 2005 3:44 PM

A place for me (and YOU) to place pictures that look like they could inspire some cool beads. Please treat it like a "Penny-jar of Inspiration" - take one, leave one.

New pictures will be added on top of the first picture, so you won't have to scroll down to see what is new....how to contribute? Easy, just email GemFOX the picture, and she'll place it here. No picture of "inspired" beads though, this page is for pure inspiration, without getting sidetracked by pictures of what someone else MADE with the inspiration.

"My Mom's photos are my inspiration, she is in upstate Penna and emails me photos almost daily of her gardens and their beautiful array of color."

Jeanie found this one in "Outdoor Photographer". Thought it had some pretty color combinations.

These are from Jayne: "In a "stripe" mood today...less color, more pattern."

Mary T. sent this one - "It's from an old Hermes scarf catalog."

A fun shot from Afghanistan, thanks Kathleen

Jill is ever the artist, even in the picture:

An original painting by Pat could be inspirational:

Jackie collects toy cars:

Anne must be an old chick - she has tie-died shirts...urgh

Barbara took this picture in Portree (whereever THAT is...) - she would love to have a matching bracelet...(let me know if you have something to offer to her)

Carolyn Driver sent these pictures:

(Do you recognize this one? I took it a year ago in my parents garden, my mom was drying laundry the German way...Carolyn obviously saved it for inspiration. Too cute...)

Carol Holaday sent this picture her daughter took on a trip to Italy, makes ME want to travel rather than making beads:

My first contribution is a page from a Bon-Marché brochure. Yummie colors that just scream "beads". Hope you can do something with it
