A Framed Work of Art.

Now this is one idea that I’ve never seen before. Talk about framing your cake! Not the mention, I adore the design.

Watercolor Snowballs!

via imagine childhood

This just makes me smile. It is so important to me to see the fun and creative in usual things. Sarah has definitely done this and created watercolor snowballs to turn the mundane snowstorm into colorful works of art.

The process is so simple. All you need to do is pour watercolor paint onto the snow, create snowballs and let them dry on paper. The product is a colorful memory of the past winters presence. See more here!

How do you arrange your jewels?

I have lots of pretty necklaces but have a hard time in finding a way to display them beautifully. Right now they are all stuffed in the jewelry boxes they came in.

They are just so beautiful that they need to be put up. I love the idea of hanging them off hooks and showing them off as art really. Plus it would be much easier to find them!

Any other creative suggestions of how to display your crown jewels?

December 6 – Make.

What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it?

This is a hard one for me. I “make” a lot of things but how do I pick just one to talk about today?

My latest creative project has been painting. I am no where near an artist and can barely consider myself an amateur painter but in terms of it being a hobby, I really enjoy it.

When I was in London I was really lonely and took up painting as a way to keep busy and feel a little more at home. It was incredibly therapeutic. It wasn’t until recently that I started up again. I gathered all of my supplies, created my work space and put up my twinkly lights (of course.)

For the past month I have been working on one art piece. To be honest, I haven’t been “working” on it, I’ve just been thinking about working on it. It has sat in my studio for a long time and I can’t quite get the motivation to do it. I’m not sure why. I guess if I feel forced to be creative then it’s not fun anymore. It doesn’t feel natural. I’m also scared that it’s not going to turn out well. I don’t want to feel ashamed of it….or maybe I don’t want to feel ashamed of myself. For art is really just an expression of oneself.

Oh boy, I think I just opened up a can of worms. Thanks Reverb 10.

i love jamie shelman

I’ve just found my favorite artist and her name is Jamie Shelman.

Her art evokes a natural homo-genius feeling of genuine proportion.  Thanks to Rachel of Black Eiffel for showing us the light!
