You will hardly find anybody on this earth who will not like to make their house look beautiful and elegant. Mosaic tiles are amongst the best options to decorating your flooring and it is classy and durable at the same time. There are various types of mosaic tiles. They come in different colors and textures and you can select the style according to your preferences.
Collage art pendants on vintage dominoes.Not too long ago I had posted the question “What inspires you to create?” here on my blog, and also on my My Space page. I’d like to share the answers and artwork by two of the creative souls that took a minute to respond. A big thank you to all of you who answered. I’ll be featuring answers once a month.
Last month I shared a story about a trip to the thrift store and the fantastic vintage cookbooks I purchased. I was so mesmerized by what I found, the decision was made to do a monthly series on the forgotten recipes hidden in the pages of these circa 1970 cookbooks. Originally I had planned to share one recipe a month. That idea quickly went out the window as I flipped through the pages today. I could not help but notice there was an underlying theme, a connection between many of the recipes. It was evident in the titles and of course the pictures. If you don’t plan on using a mold to shape the food you cook, then you should not bother to cook at all.
If you go back a handful of blog posts, you’ll see that we were still getting snow not that long ago. Luckily the cold weather has begun to fade and we had a warm sunny Saturday to play outside this weekend. We headed to Black Rock State Park which is very close by to our house. Even though the flowers haven’t exactly begun to bloom here yet, the scenery was still beautiful. It was also a great opportunity to take my new camera outside and test it out.
All of my art magnets are handcrafted with LoVE and with the belief that your fridge deserves more than a plastic palm tree or some hot glued sea shells.
Even though I have been making mosaics for almost 10 years now, my paint brush has never been far from me. My recent inspiration to begin painting again began over the winter. Little by little I have been working on some small pieces. They are almost ready to be listed in my other shop Assorted Olives.
I have been wanting to do a continuing series of featured artists on my blog for a long time. After posting last week with the question *what inspires you to create?* with the intention of just sharing some of the answers I had received and posting a little write up about the artist that participated, my idea has changed a bit. There were other questions I wondered about. How did these creative souls begin their journey as artists? What do they love the most about creating? I begin my series of featured artists today with Rachel, of RachelLovesPeace.etsy.com.
Today’s challenge on www.SoulPancake.com was centered around the idea that if you write something down, “you have a seven-times-better chance of actually making it happen.” They challenged people to take out their Sharpie markers, write what they really want to happen on their hand and take a picture. (See the actual post here.) By the time I submitted my photo, there were 80 other posts before me. It was very cool to take a minute and look through what others had written and the artistic ways they chose to capture the words in their photos.
