Am I the last person ever to hear of this concept?  Just in case I’m not, let me explain.  Apparently many creative types use a board to tack or glue words, images, etc of their creative ideas.  From my research it seems to be a mainstay for fashion designers and interior designers.  But lots of artists apparently use them, too.

I have a composition book that I put ideas and inspiration in.  I paste images, write things, and do color schemes.  So I was thinking how cool it would be to have a huge board of some sort in my studio that I can attach these things to.  How much better it would be to see it large, right there in front of me instead of hidden in a book.  And I wouldn’t have to spend time gluing everything in that dang book!

So, do any of you use a mood board?  Before I decide what to use for mine, I’d love suggestions from you.

My nephew’s wife who had a brain tumor removed is doing really well.  She got moved out of ICU and is walking and doing great!  Thank you to all who offered prayers.

Laddan called me today to tell me that he found two guinea pigs in the alley behind his house today!  They were just running around tormenting his dog.   This is so bizarre!  What scenario can explain why two house pets would be scrounging around in an alley?  The only logical explanations are too sad to even consider.  He caught them and put them in his dog’s kennel and is going to give them to his nephews.
