Creative Inspiration: Shapes in Nature

This post is a continuation on my series of sources of creative inspiration…

Just a quick post on this chilly Sunday:

Right before Thanksgiving we had “Snowmageddon 2015” in Central Oregon.  The entire area was blanketed with 12 to 24 inches of snow (depending where you live); gusty winds; and low temperatures (single digits, Fahrenheit).

With the snow came beauty and inspiration from natural shapes. I was creatively inspired by how nature handles the melting of snow in the form and shapes of icicles.

I recently took this photo below of a house in my area with large icicles hanging from its roof; and I am feeling a future art quilt inspiration based on this photo.
