Found Objects can be Beautiful

I stumbled upon Red Rapunzel, a crafting blog and found this video. The song is "I Don't Know" by Lisa Hannigan. You can get it free on iTunes.

Inspiration: Courtney Brims

WOW! That's all I can say when I see her artwork! I especially love her portraits! There is so many little details that make the whole picture absolutely amazing. Here are a few to show you what I mean:

Please check out Courtney Brims' website!

Photo Adventure!

Yesterday I went to UBC Research Forest (which apparently now called Malcolm Knapp Research Forest?) with a friend and we photographed our hearts out! I was looking for a little inspiration because my creativity has plummeted since I left school in April for the summer. Well, I ended up taking 195 pictures, and I definitely could have taken more if we weren't on a time limit. Here are a few of my favorite pictures:














It was hard just to pick a few pictures! lol ... We have tentative plans of going back next week.

Update: Inspiration...?

I have been working a lot lately. I'm sure you have noticed with the lack of posts. hehe... With working so much, I have lost a lot of my inspiration. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have so many great people around me at school to inspire me. Now, I have turned to the internet, as I'm sure some artists/designers do. I have pulled a few pictures that I have found, to share with you, dear readers, in hopes that it will inspire you as well.

Websites:
This is an amazing painting by an artist named Benini. I stumbled across it while I was looking up Rococo art on Google.

As I dive deeper in to my Textile Arts Program, I learn more about myself. Especially what I find esthetically pleasing. I didn't realize I liked floral prints and Rococo furniture SO much! lol

Inspirational Website

I stumbled across this website when I was searching for medieval textiles. It has some beautiful pictures
