I make a pictureboard :) Something I can look at when I eventually get to sit down in my studio and have time to just play. It reminds me of the ideas I had and what had inspired me to have them. This is what my pictureboard currently looks like.
Gwynneth Paltrow in the movie version of Jane Austen's "Emma". Gorgeous dress...needs a necklace though ;)
Gorgeous shoes...but definately "sitting down shoes" :)
Beautiful silver lacy earrings (not mine - I wish!)
Love the colours used in this bouquet
My love of pink is showing isn't it? Such a cute fairy crown though.
Adore these shoes *sigh*. Not keen on the heel height in reality though (I'd probably end up killing myself if I had to walk in them). Just as well they are "fantasy shoes" and can therefore be as improbably high as they like
Love the colours and textures in this fabric cuff bracelet *swoon*
Ah yes, the Baroque era. Everything about this photo calls to me. Just look at the detail on that wedding gown! Love the flowers too.
Love the richness of colour and the detail in this dress. And the necklace (you thought I'd skipped over the necklace didn't you? Not possible. Look how perfectly it matches the dress!)
The lovely Liv Tyler in "Lord of the Rings". Decadent costumes, anyone? Gorgeous. Would love to design jewellery for this.
The freshness of green and white. Nature sure knows how to do it right.
So, now that I've shared what's currently inspiring me - what's inspiring you and how do you file/note/keep track of your inspiration? Pictorial, notebooks, samples? Do share :)

Love those earrings...the shoes are very cool, but I'm past the "looking good even if it's painful" stage of my life.

Beautiful inspiration Amanda. I have a picture wall of glass. Not just beads but anything glass! I love glass!!!!! I do love that shabby chic vintage look - so feminine.
Beautiful photos, I loved them all too. I use http://vi.sualize.us/katerinah/ to collect inspirational images. Or things I just think are beautiful. It helps having them all in one place, it's cool.
Beautiful! So you too. I'd love to see a remake of Emma where you got to design some jewelery!
I have an inspiration board in my room,with things pinned onto it, a folder on my laptop full of ideas, as well as a notebook with notes and sketches. I really need to pull them all together!
Beautiful inspiration... now I can see where your exquisite designs come from! I love the story board idea! I usually have ideas and never get around to jotting them down. Of course that means I lose 90% of them! Now you've inspired me (once again)! I'm going to start keeping track of my ideas/inspirations better and see where that leads me. Thanks Amanda!!
Thanks ladies! So glad we are all on the same wavelength :) I'm a real "visual girl" when it comes to ideas...I like to see what I'm aiming for, so this way of keeping track of pics and things that inspire me really works for me. I can't draw to save myself, so a sketchbook was never an option LOL!
