Happy Weekend!

Here is some lovely things I have seen this week that make me smile!

1. (20) Things to Start Doing in Your Relationships (We are always improving, right?)
2. Gorgeous Imagery of Costa Rica and the use of the word "JOY-SEEK"
3. Paint Hangers in your Living Space... A Rotating Art Gallery perhaps ?!
4. Fenny Ganatra's Bounce Chair is Pure Fun.
5. Pinchamayurasana forearm balance ... Really just dabbling in the beginnings of this pose... I have tight shoulders and this pose really opens them up! Check out this article about falling down and getting back up :)

Spirograph Inspiration

Don't you remember that super cool art "toy" from the 80s and 90s that would allow you to draw the coolest shapes perfectly - circles, parabolas, curves, they went on forever!! Oh, the spirograph. I literally had to google "80s toys drawings" to remember the name of the thing!! 


Here are new pieces of art - upholsteries, etc. that are a lovely "spin" off the spirograph... Enjoy, and don't get too dizzy :)

Momentum Textile's Veer in White.

Arc|Com's Echo in Flamingo.

Folded NoteCards on Etsy.

A larger scale spirograph, called "Drawing Machine" has been created by artist Eske Rex out of Copenhagen to create larger than life geometric designs utilizing pendulums:

My Spring Wreath...

My friend had a spring wreath making party a couple weeks back. You can see if I have wreath obsessed ever since a visit to Williamsburg during the holidays; check out my post from December.

 Considering it has been Seattle-ish here in Denver with a "chance" of sunshine... I am happy the Spring/Summer weather is here! (And hopefully here to stay!) This wreath has reminded me that the warm weather really was/is coming!!! I ended up hanging it with the calla lilies at the top. I took this photo against our wood floors before it was hung up!

HAPPY SPRING/SUMMER - whatever you want to call it!

BRRRR...

What is up with the Colorado weather ? The month of MAY has been quite strange... Warm, sunshiny days and now this cold 40 degree stuff that I thought we were done with for a while ??? I guess I need to be thankful we are not experiencing severe weather  / flooding as the south has been seeing over the past couple of weeks.


I completed a 10 mile hike last weekend with my pup in Greenland, CO with great views of Pike's Peak... There were many mountain bikers on the trail... I might have been one of two walking that whole afternoon!!

Last weekend I worked on another painting - acrylic and yarn... I bought a few more different sizes of canvas for more works I hope to begin next weekend after the deadlines wrap up for the week!

Last night after dinner, we went over to Three Dogs and then Elm Street on Colfax. It was a pretty fun night; it was much needed after this LONG week!! We grabbed some Phở this morning and I am about to head to a { yoga } posture workshop at Qi this afternoon. Should be good times!! 

Happy Weekend!

A Stroke Of Creativity...

"One never knows what one is going to do. One starts a painting and then it becomes something quite different. - Pablo Picasso


I have rediscovered painting and I am just loving it!! I am painting for every occasion I can think of and it is a gift that comes from the heart... It's relaxing, creative, and plain FUN!! I really believe anyone can do this. You just have to do it. That's it. You make it your own.


Here is what I just completed for my sister-in-law. She is graduating on Monday!! It needs one more glossy coat, and then it is ready to go!

Canvas & Cocktails

I attended this work event Tuesday and here is the outcome.....

What did I learn?

I need to paint and/or draw...more often... it is so relaxing!!! :) Peace!!!

NEEDTOBREATHE

I have been going nutso over this amazing band... NEEDTOBREATHE! They really do amaze me - their entire album is a true work of art. I can sincerely say I LOVE every song off "The Outsiders" album. Some may consider it Christian Rock - that is fine if that what it is - I just consider it AWESOME and SOULFUL... It is truly a rare occurrence when I can listen to a band's album over and over without getting over it quickly!! I cannot wait to see them live!

Here is "Something Beautiful"...

In a day dream, I couldn't live like this 
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful 
When I wake up, and all i want i have 
You know its still not what i need something beautiful 

HOLIDAY ART

Though I am not a huge celebrator of Christmas, I do really love some of the design elements that represent the holiday. We have a tree every year, though I am more of a WREATH gal!! This year, we finally have our very own homemade Williamsburg wreath on our front door.

If you wish to create your very own WW, check out this Southern Living Article. Here are some more Willamsburg wreathes that are just so detailed and beautiful. I believe there should be a wreath for every season!! Everyone have a HAPPY holiday!!
