cheetah swirl :: jackrabbit swirl :: bird swirl :: mouse swirl
with all these swirls and curls debbie’s art makes me happy. you can find just about anything at a line of her own, from a dipper and a lynx, to a frog, an otter and even an ibex. and, she’s the only gal i’ve come across who can make a skunk and a mouse look perfect for my house. ;)
don’t you just love feel good art? the peach pit has been making me feel happy all weekend. her art is all so springy, fresh and pretty- for some reason, it just puts a little pep in my step! to go along with her feel good art, she’s also got a feel good blog. have fun visiting her world, and remember- each day is new!

pssst! you might want to tune in to ace of base’s ‘the sign‘ to continue with this post!
from gathered inspiration from a recent NYC trip…
the lovely sherry & john whipped these two signs up right on there home computer. that’s right- and just printed them from their home printer on regular ol’ paper.
after some magic aging techniques and mod podge.. (check this post for step by step instructions).

is this artist not unbelievable? her work stuns me. she’s captured each of these women so beautiful and looking at them makes me feel so pretty and feminine. artist leigh viner started selling her work in 2003 and is now working on fashion design- oh boy! she also has a fabulous blog, so go have fun visiting her world!

this shop has intrigued me since the very first time i saw it. what creatively captivating work she does. her shop’s welcome says it all:
“The poetic beauty of each piece is well worth your time to see. I hope that they can provide a renewed sense of quietude to your heart, mind and soul. So…let your spirit take flight in the beauty and awe of your own imagination.”
today i have the honor of welcoming the steel fork to going home to roost! ben and kate gatski uniquely honor agriculture through art. they collect old farm machinery and turn the metals into one of a kind art pieces. they are strong believers in farming and local food- and i just love how they show their appreciation!
