Good questions

One of my favourite bloggers is 101 birdtales.  Her experimental art e course was one of the first I ever did and I really enjoyed it.  I am also a big fan of her stance on being an artist / getting an education  (see this post here about DIY art school)

I just read her recent post about collaboration.  Or maybe she is just asking for help.  Is that the same thing?  Maybe it is the same thing, but it made me realise that collaboration is something I really enjoy. 

I am currently collaborating with The Wright Stuff and we have a rather marvellous and very exciting idea, which involves taking art and creativity into the world of business.  Its such a joy to be working with someone who totally gets it and can add to what I know and what I can do.  I am sure you will hear more about it as it progresses.  Its early stages and we have yet to name ourselves.  Naming it seems is a thing. 

I digress again.  Collaboration.  At my last job my title was 'Principle Collaborator' which my friend thought sounded rather like something baddies did during the war.  But despite that, I liked it.  I like the idea of collaboration.  In fact. 

I think that life is about finding the right folk to collaborate with. 

Anyway, I rather liked the way Amelia's post ended up.  With a few questions. 

OH and QUESTIONS. in general.  I am really into questions at the moment.  As in,  How life is also all about knowing what questions to ask.

Sorry, I digress (again) .  Amelia's questions, they are

Who can you go visit for inspiration? 
What can you do to build your vision of expansion?
How can you ask for assistance/inspiration/guidance [and who] from?
What is your joy and are you doing it?
 
They are good questions.
