Fri-DIY - Inspiration

Lovely use of a child's painting from MUS

Let me share a little secret - I tag some of my bookmarks with 'ideas to try.' These are usually images that suggest an idea I could possibly expand on, versus straight-forward tutorials. I try not to think of it as stealing other people's ideas. No one operates inside a vacuum and inspiration is EVERYWHERE! Plus, I don't think I could ever 100% recreate someone else's project. One - it's not in my nature. Two - I remember vividly my course in intellectual rights and would never want to infringe on those of others.

That said, here are a few images that are inspiring me to DIY right now.
