A Spectrum of Color

Today I saw a rainbow in a car's sideview mirror. It was just the way the sun hit the car, reflected off the mirror, and revealed all the colors that hide inside light. I think rainbows are a little bit of a miracle. Sure, I know the science behind it, but it's still amazing! I remember seeing my first rainbow in the sky and being overjoyed at the age of 4 or 5.

Anyways, before I go off rambling about rainbows, I decided to look through what my favorite website for all things handmade had to offer on the subject! (images are clickable; they'll take you to the listing)


Isn't this painting amazing? I think I could stare at it for days! The other paintings in her store are all so lovely!


These earrings are called " Catch my breath in between the rainbow", and aptly so. I'm a sucker for wire wrapping and earrings--add in a touch of rainbow, and you know I'm head over heels for it! I really did have to catch my breath when I saw these.


Oh my goodness. Awwwwww. Just awww. I'm also a sucker for adorable babies. awwwwwwww!!


This sweater coat is so neat!! It's made of upcycled sweaters and is made of magic!! Maybe not magic, but it sure seems like it!


When I first saw these, I thought they were from polymer clay canes. They're actually GLASS which at least doubles the wow factor!


Isn't she sweet? I love the whimsy and creativity behind it. Plus, all the natural fibers are " from a flock of happy sheep on Grand View Farm", which I think is really exciting.


Aw! I love this mini print. It's just the right combination of retro and modern, and greyscale and color.

I hope you enjoyed all the rainbows! :)

Scavenger Collages

I have way too much arts & crafts stuff. In an effort to get rid of some of it & to make myself make things, I'm pulling out random things and making collages.

I want to try a daily thing but probably not happening.


Ingredients:
doodles
watercolor doodles
beetle wing
half of a bleeding heart (the flower of course ;])
catalog cutouts
part of a playing card
plasticy stuff

(see, even that list is way too much stuff)


Leftovers. (items that didn't get used)


Final product.

------#2


Ingredients:
cigar box label
magazine cutout

Leftovers: this turtle guy


Final product

All the ingredients are scavenged and pulled out at random so that I can compose something surprising; not something planned.
Feel free to try it; it's a lot of fun!! :)

Monster Hugs

My monsterhugs etsy is now officially open with Fievel as its first occupant! :)

interior/exterior

These two paintings were the last homework assignment for my painting class. They're supposed to be a diptych, but I don't know if it works out that way. They're 40" x 40" and in oil.

Oliver publicized

There was a free hugs event at the park today. I took Oliver of course.






this thing is seriously a kid magnet.

Monster Hugs

I made a gigantic monster for my sculpture class. There's an actually messages and stuff behind it, but I'm sure you'll be ok with just the pictures.

He is an excellent student


he has many friends (they're small monsters that I gave to my classmates+prof)


He loves them all!


He's really cuddly and awesome. He was made to give you hugs. Nobody can resist him!
