As an artist, the one thing that is my constant pursuit is inspiration. Appreciation, adoration, adulation, and monetary compensation are nice, but they don't feed the monkey.

Nursing videos with flying fruit baskets
Well, it wasn't a video, but I did make an image of a Flying Fruit Basket image, editing an airplane and a fruit basket, some time ago. Sadly, when I purged some of my files, it was one I deleted.
I did a search here on allnurses in an attempt to find the image, and could go back only as far as 2019 with no luck, so you'll have to take my word for it, Daisy.
The "Flying Fruit Basket" phrase is not mine. An allnurses member said it years ago, and I adopted it into my vocabulary.

I was picturing a fruit basket with little wings but yours is so much more imaginative, good one!!
Thank you! It was fun making it out of a used tin foil baking sheet Belinda was going to throw away, some regular and baked clay, and paint!
I got up at 0430 this morning to make it after sleeping eight hours. I thought today was New Year's Eve! Belinda's schedule was changed due to the Holiday, so I was disoriented.

That's where I started, as you can see from my initial sketches:
If an idea just minutely interest me, I'll at least do something with it. Years ago, I believed if I didn't have a total idea, or the idea was dumb, I shouldn't do anything.
I've learned to just do a quick sketch and see where it takes me.
Something more always comes into my head. For example, I was going to paint an Air Force logo on the wings, but the Funny Little Guy in My Head whispered, " Not Air Force- Air Fruit!"
