Dandelion Days

I long for days when dandelions grow.... ( I can't believe I am saying this!)




























Sunny, yellow and warm days!  I hope spring comes soon!

Coffee Break

It is time for a coffee break! I am going to make myself a hazelnut soy latte.
A biscotti would be rather tasty also don't you think?

Inspiration

One of my dearest friends just gave me an adorable calendar filled with inspiring quotes.  This quote in particular caught my eye.  I just love the colors and the quote is so inspirational.

 I am going to frame and hang it in my studio or classroom (still deciding!) Lovely inspiration and fantastic typography don't you think?!  I'm a little obsessed with fonts and lettering lately if you haven't noticed?!   What quote inspires you?

Getting creative...


pencils, originally uploaded by kershlock.

These pencils make me want to draw something and be creative! Off to work in my sketchbook:)

Words as Art


I just love this idea that was posted on the blog Mustard and Sage.   Meghan,  (who seems like such a cool gal!) created this painting by creating stencils of the lyrics to her  and her husband's favorite song by Neutral Milk Hotel.  She then painted over the stencils.   What a meaningful artwork!

Another way to try this would be to stamp out the lyrics with pre-bought stamps.
Check out this tutorial on poppytalk for specific instructions!
