Research is so much fun! Especially when I happen onto a very fun website. Check out these fabrics from Volksfaden. I love the illustration, the pattern, the color. Time to get out the sewing machine…
Ryan Wallace definitely knows how to make me spend my hard earned cash. Using mixed media he creates rich textured illustrations that should belong on all of my things! I love the use of these colors and the fun memories that come to mind when looking at the Ferris Wheel. sigh…
OMG! Ok, I love dogs… more than anything, except maybe getting a foot massage! But these are the cutest little doggie pillows I have seen! Have a look at Cloud7.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area be sure to stop at Hennessey+Ingalls Bookstore. It’s the most incredible book store, filled with art, graphic design and photography books… and there are 2 locations! Samsara Woodblock Patterns is full of fabulous stuff to use in your work. What a great resource! Hmmm, what can I create…
Textures keep coming up in our everyday studio life. They are a great way to add depth to any design. These rugs are just a few of the beautiful textures we found at 27ground. Some are hand-made, eco-friendly, or even give support to charity either way, all of them are unique and would add to any room. Wonder which one would look best in the living room?
Check out these beautiful Band-Aids by Cynthia Rowley. Dress-up your boo-boos and help the arts at the same time, talk about healing power!
I often discover wonderful things in the middle of doing research for a big project. I was looking for some inspiration for a new Hummus project when I came across this wonderful painter/illustrator. I contacted Anna to see if she’d mind having us show a few of our favorites… she takes commissions and the beautiful paintings are quite reasonable. I am already planning what I’d love her to paint for me. Illustrated paintings by Anna Kipervaser inspired by her travels to the middle east.
Anthropologie has become a household word… but we still look to them for trend setting fashion and furnishing priced for the masses. At least the design-conscious masses… with a few extra bucks in their pockets! Or stylish wallets! They set the trends. They make us drool. We want it and we want it now. I fortunately cannot purchase everything I see and love. Like these hand made cups… just out of my price range, but I might just sign up for a clay class and make my own…
