There's an upside to a migraine??? Sometimes....in this case it was the aura before the headache that set my creativity in motion. Or perhaps it was the drug I take to ward off the headache itself, that was speaking to me.
Let me back up a little....I had some inspiration floating around in my brain but no idea how to execute it simply (that's the lazy gene in me). So as I was working on other projects my brain was searching for solutions.
Then one evening, last week, out of nowhere an aura hit..... For those of you fortunate beings that don't suffer migraines, an aura is a visual disturbance that indicates a migraine is on the way. Shimmering lights and visual patterns explode in front of your eyes for about twenty minutes before the headache hits. I'm very fortunate that mine aren't severe and if I pop one of my pills right at the onset...the headache is stopped in it's tracks.
Funny thing with a migraine......I seem to have a heightened sense of creatively. Now I have never researched this thought, but have noticed it on several occasions. This time it was the actual flashing lights that sent me running for my note pad......
Several pages of illegible notes later....and I just might have my solution.
I'm back on the west coast and just might have time to make sense of those notes. It just might develop into a new quilt....which I will name Aura. There were so many ideas flying ......perhaps a series???
Hmm... let's see if I can make sense of all the crazy jargon in that little striped note book.
This might actually work....or it could be a bust, those migraine drugs can make one a little loopy.
