While out and about on a sunny afternoon in San Francisco, I popped into a little book store and was in awe as I flipped through a book entitled, 'Paper Cutting.'
The book features a variety of talented paper cutting artists. Needless to say, I bought the book, brought it home, immediately began compiling the necessary tools, and after a few more brainstorming sessions am ready to have my own go at this gorgeous form of art.
One artist I was particularly inspired by is Su Blackwell. Below I've gathered some of her book sculptures to share. Ready, set, inspiration!
While meeting a cat who is so well put together may surprise you, be certain that the surprise doesn't end there. This cats collection of miniature vintage ties would both impress and astound you. Play your cards right and you may get an invite to see the private collection. Prints available for purchase on etsy.
Given to me by friends, this little book reveled to me the elusive Japanese aesthetic and philosophy of Wabi-Sabi. The books introduction describes Wabi-Sabi as, "... a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional."
This little book enlivens that which can sometimes be overlooked, and teaches the viewer how to appreciate and unearth that which is Wabi-Sabi.
I love, love this little book which is a short read, but welcomed is the person who revisits to mull over its rich content. Truly refreshing and inspiring.
One would not expect to meet a fox and a hare who see eye-to-eye on things, but lo and behold, this fox and hare are truly the dearest of friends. The only row these two get into is deciding who is the faster runner.
There's nothing fishy about this salmon in her gorgeous mint strapless dress. Draped in tulle, and donning a beautiful pink dahlia, she wonders, what's a gal to do when she's all dolled up with no place to go?
Isn't this cat house the greatest! I really love simple, tasteful cat toys and this playhouse takes the cake!MarthaStewart.com has incredibly easy directions. As soon as I can get my hands on two large boxes, I am going to build this amazing cat house for my three cats. I can't wait to see how they play house!
For those of you out there who are not great with an x-acto knife, you must check out this affordable, handsome toy called the Peek-a-Prize for sale on Amazon. I bought this wooden toy for my kitties and they all love it to pieces. I love that it stores their toys, challenges them when they want toys and looks nice sitting out.
Enjoyed a night out at The Independent in San Francisco to see Little Dragon. Fun show, great live music. I totally appreciate that they play their music live without back tracking. They really sounded great live. That said, I found a good quality video, that is not from the show I was at, but is live and is of one of the songs I loved - Happy Listening, my friends!
Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
Inspired by my love of animals and clothing, I outfitted this grizzly bear in picnic chic attire. She is ready to head out for a proper afternoon picnic, blanket and all, but don't expect her to share the honey. Additional information and views available on etsy.
Wow. This story obviously parallels Swan Lake but I was still on the edge of my seat in the movie theater wondering what was going to happen next. The acting in this film is superb. Truly a pleasure to watch. I highly recommend seeing this film in a theater, my film loving friends!
