True Indigo

I am a lover of all things indigo.  Not navy bleu.  Indigo.  It's rich, deep, dark and mysterious.  Kind of like aubergine.  Don't ya think?

A few of my favourite indigo covered walls:

Refuse Art

Always on the lookout for artists who recycle, who reuse, who reduce.

Here's today's collection found on the network that connects us all, called the internet.

Wonder Baby. Meet Ruby Reusable, where I found Wonder Baby by artist Olympia Dumpster Diver aka Ruby Reusable.  I found her on Find, Make, Do.  One helluva good site too!

Unintentional art is the mining of phosphorus in Florida.  It's beautiful blended lines and crystalline inertia is sinfully as bad as admiring a fur coat (on a person).  But, it's mesmerizing, isn't it?

White Pumpkin Love

I am tempted to paint this baby with some wickedly cool design, but she sits so pretty on my table overlooked by "The Carousel" by Ken Danby.

Question of the day:  Paint it? Leave it?  Paint another one and put it outside?

Taming of the Shrew?

Hard to believe that this wonder needs taming.  Sadly, it's been a hard road reining in her spirit.  It's a struggle for us all.  She has such strong attributes and one is her will.  That will just needs some guidelines and rules.  One of them is school.

Les Champignons

Now, I am consumed with Poppytalk's post on this DIY project by resurrection fern.  Spores meet craft paper.

Or maybe those gills met a funky cool paint chip?  Those gill marks are the actual gills left behind by a mushroom. No stamping involved.  And if you want some instructions, try this mushroom link, on making a spore print.

Obsessed again?  Yep.

So, what can I imagine from this? Well. lots.  But I'm too busy playing with my espresso machine, on week 3 of P90X, trying to find my new career in a new city, and pulling teeth (almost literally) to get my daughter to go to school.  So, I surf.  Instead I should be drawing and sculpting and creating.....

Duvet Dubay Duway

I'm hunting for a new duvet cover.  Apparently it has to be masculine enough for a certain person to sleep there too.  As if a duvet cover was ever going to stop someone from going to sleep.  Gaw!
