lovely inspirations

Oh, dear. What a month October has been. Sorry I have been so absent lately. Due to some minor health issues and EXTREME business this I’ve been a bit out of the blogging loop.

What I have for you today: some lovely inspirations!

First of all, this is just the most perfect color palette.

my most recent project

campbells

Here is an image of my most recent project. We were told to choose a consumer product, take a photo of it, and turn it into a vector image! Tah-dah!

Of course anything about campbells soup reminds us of Andy Warhol, whom I adore. And as I was researching him I found this:

warhol-tomato-soup

Each can actually contains soup, and is covered with authentic reproductions of Warhol-designed labels.

How cool?! Perfect to display in your kitchen! .( $12 each ).

So, I’m starting an art journal and here is the first page! Does anyone else do something similar? Sketchbooks are my favorite because I love to see the thought process that goes into making a piece of art… I’d love to see what you’ve done!

Something non-traditional

So, if you haven’t noticed I love things that are non-traditional. Originally, I had been planning our wedding somewhat around the available flowers, but then it dawned on me. Who says I have to have fresh flowers? Sure, I will have some flowers, but what if the bridesmaids carried something else down the aisle?

Here are some of the things I thought about:
