Ooh that sounds lovely! I always like the pieces you post with the patterned backgrounds.
I definitely know what you mean... so many ideas, but so little time to devote to them. I sometimes take out my tiny sketchbook and do a really fast rough draft of an idea so I'll remember to come back to it later. Otherwise I lose ideas in the flood of other ideas. lol
Yes, you know exactly, and that way of just rough sketch is best, otherwise, another idea comes and you loose first one, also good.
