Artists roam the earth with wide eyes, cultivating artistic inspiration as they amass found objects and other materials for their artwork.
I have a huge bullitin board my husband mounted for me in my hobby room. On it go all sorts of found objects & art.

Most of us do not need much for inspiration to begin blossoming ---

fallen leaves 

sound of the ocean

Children laughing

and even the rusting objects found on parking lot floors.  All this is enough to send an artist back to their studio for hours.
