Challenged to Reveal My Muse

Would I NOT take up a challenge? Nopers, I sure would not refuse a challenge like this. Though certainly reading about the muses whose company is enjoyed by others is more interesting to me than writing about my own.


Michelle Ward has challenged readers of her GPP Street Team to share their muse as Challenge #14. So here we go.

My muse is a pretty ballerina, the kind we all wanted to be when we were in first grade, even if we didn't want to admit it. She was a gift from the lovely and talented Lilia Meredith, who has recently left us high and dry in Phoenix, missing this beautiful person with the eye for what some might call junk. I found her tied up in ribbon decorating the front of a pack of ephemera, a gift from the Flea Market Studio girl herself. She's glued to the top of a beautiful glass bottle that was also a gift from the lovely one. She has no name, but sits on my work table to remind me that sometimes I need to change my point of view or to look at something through someone else's eyes to get a fresh perspective.
