Creative Vision... and Before & After Prize Selections

"Creation begins with vision." ~ Henri Matisse

I agree with Henri. I never get very far if I can't see where I am going. Since creation begins with vision, I want to give you something to think about. Today I want to share with you the choice of prizes for the Inspired by...Before & After challenge on now through the end of April. Go to this post here to read the nitty gritty. Perhaps this will get your creative vision a kick in the pants.

If you know me at all then you know that I consider variety the spice. I try to get as much of it as I can in my life. So in that spirit, I want to allow the winner to select the pieces that will be the best fit.

Up first, some really great chain from the clearance rack {there's treasure there, you know!}. The winner can choose either the brass chain with the leaves and colorful beads or the brass chain with the white pearls. {Note: there are multiple necklaces shown here. You will get one necklace of your choice.}

Second, I want to give the option of art beads. Or fiber. Because of late I am all about the art beads. And the fiber. So, I have selected two different choices.

EITHERYour choice of any two of these lampwork beads by Amy Houston
{two of the same color or two different - again, your choice!}

OR
A whole yard of this outrageously vibrant Fair Trade recycled silk sari ribbon from NorthcottWilson

And I truly hope that whoever wins the random drawing for April will create something fabulous and then share it with us all! Because I could use a little creative vision{and a kick in the pants} right about now.

Do you like to have choices, or are you overwhelmed by too many choices?
Which of these materials would you choose?
What would you do with these things? Use them together or separately?
What sorts of treasures have you found as raw materials for your April challenge piece?
Where is your creative vision taking you?
Do you need a kick in the proverbial creative pants?
Do tell!

Enjoy the day!
