A Walk in the Woods

Sometimes I need to just take a break from creating and clear my mind so something new will come about.  I've tried different ways to clear my mind; exercise (jogging), yoga and stretching, meditation,
hiking, photography, unplugging from all types of technology (which by the way, works very well), and simply deep breathing.  All of these are good at de-stressing and sometimes I end up with my mind racing with new ideas.  I keep a journal close at hand so I can document these new ideas.  And yet, most times if I just start on an idea or technique and let my mind wander, I can come up with a piece that is very pleasing like this one....just a few scraps, a little thread and viola!
