Art

Maybe this one?

I know I should do something long and rectangular over the sofa, but what do you think about this?
(artist’s rendering, haha)
I’ve wanted it for the last year or so, and I’ve just ordered it. It’s 3′x3′, and it’s made of fabric (hand sewn!). It’s from Dream of Stars. I love it so [...]

"and brown loves pink"

My commissioned Amy Ruppel painting has arrived! (Good timing, eh? I’ve had art on my mind a lot lately!)

I love Amy Ruppel’s work, so quite a while back I contacted her to commission a larger scale painting. I wanted some pink or orange in it, and then I left the rest up [...]

Collecting Art

My quest for new art has gotten me thinking…

I think they’re cute, but I’m still not sure if I’m going to hang them. I guess I’m just not a butterfly person (and I have 8 of them)! I may just sell them in my shop if I don’t use them.

Butterflies in my Stomach

Hrmmm… What do you all think about this?

I was at Paper Source today, and I just happened to see those buterflies. So I thought: “Oh! I can frame them in little shadowboxes and hang them down the hallway!” I bought that textured yellow paper, and I can pick up some white shadowboxes [...]

Friday’s Flickr Fix

Ez from Creature Comforts just started a new flickr group: Friday’s Flickr Fix. “This group is about finding inspiration by juxtaposing (putting side by side) two or more of your flickr favorites to make a statement or tell a story.” Here’s my first submission:

The first photo is from Liquid Paper, and the second [...]
