I just discovered that I was featured in another Etsy treasury. This one is pretty clever. Check it out here until Tuesday at 1:19 am.
So far, regarding my resolution of changing my furniture around, I’ve only managed my bedroom. The funny thing is that it took me about a week to make the connection between how much time I was suddenly started spending in my room, other than sleeping (reading, working on artwork and even eating lunch), before I realized it was because I had changed the furniture around. This just goes to show further support of my theory that changing furniture around lifts the mood and creates more positive energies. AND discovering this evidence should also prompt me into action to finally change my living room and art area around.
I recently discovered a blog from a link to this amazing dress. The dress is so gorgeous that it led me to explore it’s designer’s blog and I have found it to be extremely interesting. Elsa is a wife and mother of two. Her husband is a producer and worked on the film The Kite Runner. Her son has been diagnosed with autism and she shares a great deal about this. Also, she is a creator and like me, she works in many different formats. On her site, she has shared hand drawn illustrations, to designed and sewn softies. But the thing that makes her blog so captivating is the way that she shares all of the parts of her life from her family, to artmaking process to her personal history, I love it all. Check it out.
My sister gave me this newspaper cutting a while ago and I wanted to share it here. I think it came from the Chicago Tribune. It talks about how there is this movement of people strategically placing things in bookstores, anything from realtors putting their business cards in books about home buying, to poets placing their self published books on the shelves. Who knew we were so trendy, putting our drawings on the shelves in the art section and drawing impromptu pictures of authors and then hiding them inside their autobiographies? This might interest you Rosa. Check out the article, it is interesting if not just to read the creative manners to which artists have worked and how some stores have reacted to them. I like the last artist, who does the reverse Andy Warhol.
