Like many other design bloggers, I’m keen on original art. My current collection is made up mostly of did-it-myself. I like painting on big canvases with acrylic paints, but I’m thinking I need to try some new things with paint. An experiment with watercolours might be fun. I doubt I can create anything as nice as the pieces below but it might be worth a try and I have no doubt that the experience would be fun.
Indigo Cactus, The Aestate; print, $61
Popcorn, Kendyll Hillegas; print, $20
Turkey Feathers, Amber Alexander; print, $20
Striped Stones, Naturalist at Heart; print, $19.10
set of four watercolours; Sarah Swanson, $40
I am Blown Away by your Love, Kelly Bermudez; print, $20
T-Rex, Geometric Ink; original, $30
Last week Christine from Bijou & Boheme suggested that we will be seeing more heads/people/busts in 2014. I tend to agree. I can definitely see their appeal. They’re strong, classic, and are usually in museums. What do you think? Would you want one in your home or would you feel like all eyes would be on you.
19th century marble bust, $9730
plaster head of Apollo, $2500
white marble bust of flora, $4000
Greek god bust, $195
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend! Happy Friday!
The printed pillows at Society6 always get my attention. This week I noticed the Medusozoa pillow and thought it would look really cool on a stylish sofa or chair.
I haven’t posted anything about nutcrackers since 2010 even though these men are some of my favourite Christmas decorations. Â They can be placed on the mantle in a group, hung on the Christmas tree, or serve as colouring entertainment for the little ones in your family. They’re multi-purpose and they look great too.
