Yet Another Genius Design Idea

Wow!

When I first saw these I thought they were vases disguised as books... than I realized... they were Bookmarks disguised as plants. This suits me perfectly because no matter how hard I try, I cant keep my plants alive { sorry mother nature } But how perfect, now I can just plant my green book marks and appear to have the green thumb that I unfortunately lack!

Pantone Lovin'

I am hoping that Emilie checks this post out... I am thinking if no one else loves this stuff she will... Who knew Pantone would get such a following... I think my favorite idea is the Nail Polish, why didnt I think of that?! { via twig and thistle }

Paint Drip Portraits { xox }

Chris Dorosz works with no brush and no canvas... just the air and the paint. His piece below is made with paint drips { cool }

"Out of material discovery I began to regard the primacy of the paint drop, a form that takes shape not from a brush or any human-made implement or gesture, but purely from its own viscosity and the air it falls through, as analogous to the building blocks that make up the human body (DNA) or even its mimetic representation (the pixel).

With this in mind I’ve been working towards creating a narrative of materials as the groundwork to explore changing ideas of human physicality in an age pushing towards virtual reality. "~ C. Dorosz

Elephants?

I love the Elephants hanging out the window here...! What a creative artist. I like the use of watercolor here, it makes me want to get out my paint brush and start painting...

If there were two things I am certain of it is this: I want these. and I want them now.

Right now I am wishing there was a birthday or holiday coming up and I could put them on that every so large wish list of mine. Wouldn't these look so fun and quirky in a home studio? Specifically mine?! All elegant style a side, these are great!

The story os a First Kiss...

Wow... What an awesome thoughtful gift... Such a sweet story...

This bench was the site of Crystal and Neil's first kiss... The story is, years after they were married Crystal walked into her Apartment to see an old bench inside, she was a bit confused until Neil explained that he had gone back to the site of their first kiss ( this bench ) and offered to buy it from the owner. Overwhelmed with the Romance of it, he was given the bench free of charge... He adorned it with the gold plate "First Kiss, July 1, 2002" and brought it to his wife... as a gift... wow...

Spring is here...

There is something magical in the air this time of year. I see it in the faces of strangers as I greet them for a hello and in the familiar lines of the smiles I see every day. Its Spring now, and I wake up with the birds chirping outside my window, what a way to start the day. Winter was always quiet, even the snowfall makes no noise, but Spring arrives with so many sensory pleasures. It sweeps in and reminds your body of all the lovely things it had been missing. {Sunshine, birds, flowers, color, warmth, cut grass, fresh air, the ability to linger outside before going in } Spring has that addictive power, like a love that you cant get enough of. And it is lifting us all into this silly state of bliss... And there is nothing better than a silly state of bliss after a winter that brought us three blizzards. Lets revel in it today, and feel triumphant in our victory over winter because
