Isn't this neat? I can't wait to try it! I want to try it with some carousol horses.
I love how clever these are. My favorite is the ewe! Awww.
I just realized I hadn't posted any of my work from art school, so gradually I will be adding them. This piece is titled "Childhood Reading."
This piece is actually in a (planned) set of 3 that deals with my relationships with books throughout various moments in my life. This piece represents my earliest memories - picture books with singsong rhymes.
Materials: Copper sheet, copper foil, embroidery thread.
I stumbled upon a lovely wedding favor site: Bella Regalo
Gorgeous stuff.
Some of my favorites:
I love the different styles for dresses - now I'm all inspired to crack open a wedding magazine and cookify the gowns!
I really have an unhealthy relationship with cute pastries at the moment - phase or true passion in life? Only time will tell.
My roommates made a red velvet cake, and I stole just a teeny bit of batter to make a cupcake...
The right 2 are from Sprinkle Sprinkle and the Chinese New Year ones on the left are from here.
It's amazing what you can dig up using google image. Just some random images I found that I really like :)
It's so true. After three days of binging, all I can say is ugh. I feel terrible. :( Back on track now!
Today I went to Sur la Table for the first time, and I loved it! Though, with a title like Sur la Table, I thought it would be a notch above Williams-Sonoma, but I found it to be more casual and less uppity. Not that I dislike Williams-Sonoma, but they are very high end - everything is extremely organized and uncommon. For example, Sur la Table carried products by Wilton, a mass market brand that Wal-Mart and Michaels also carries, but Williams-Sonoma never has. I was also surprised by how messy the store was. A ton of the displays were sloppy and seemed to be just piled up (unlike Sonoma which is always neatly stacked). And the clearance section, oh my! A pigsty. I don't mind at all, but it's just my observations of the store. (and I guess surprise too, because it was in such a high end area. but i think mainly the name threw me off - Sur la Table! Doesn't that sound expensive?). I bought a pack of 7 butterfly cookie cutters, it won't be until the summer when I use them, but at least they don't go bad! I found some dolphin/shark/turtle/fish sprinkles and fell in love. But I'm going to wait until May to buy them because I want them to be as fresh as possible (even though I know i'll more than likely be buying the same ones I saw today. Too cute. I already have a billion ideas of what I will do with them.) And speaking of ideas, I visited their website today and fell in love with their cookie examples for the cookie cutters they sell. Gorgeous. I'll let them speak for themselves.
Also, I ended up purchasing these from Amazon, can't wait to get them in:
I've also been eyeing these by Ateco, but I can't bare to fork up 25 dollars for them... yet. And I noticed they also have a 11 and 12 piece set - I'm so going for the 12! Why get 11 when I can get 12? I haven't figured out why they are so expensive either :(
I'm going to cave and purchase this book... too gorgeous...!
What's been inspiring me lately..
Swan lake for metals:
Really cool rings:
And Lucy Liu's terrible "shawl" thingy - i'm attracted to the cupcake-like quality of it!
