Lisa Wharton, of Urban Bird Online: her art is full of birds, and house images. She loves stacks, multiples of things. She is a printmaker, but doesn’t repeat things, each piece she makes is one of a kind. Sound familiar? Seriously, kind of scary, how much my process resembles hers. If you don’t see the…

Kicking Down Doors
It’s Monday, and I’ve got a lot to do in the next month. So much so, that it overwhelmed me a bit this weekend, and as a result, I got less done than I thought I would, which is setting me up for a downward spiral. (Please note, some of the stress and lack of…
Inspiration: Skinny LaMinx
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about the inspiration I get from the work of Heather Moore, a.k.a. Skinny LaMinx! She’s an illustrator and designer living in Cape Town, South Africa. She has a very distinctive style to her screenprinted fabric, and she sells yardage, as well as cushion covers, teatowels…

To all of you folks who’ve come by from Blogging it Forward, welcome! Fiona from Cafe Cartolina has handed over the torch to me, and I’d love to show you a bit about what inspires me. Actually, I do this quite a lot! I’m finding that the more I am able to talk about what…
Inspiration: Jennifer Squires
Are you familiar with the work of the photographer Jennifer Squires? She’s a fellow artist over at Art Wall Online whose work is peaceful & still.

Megan Rhodes is a fantastic landscape photographer – her work is truly beautiful. She’s pretty new to blogging, but every…
Inspiration: Companies with a Conscience
There are many companies out there trying to leave the world a healthier place. I wanted to tell you a bit about 2 that I have met and come to love through the blog-o-sphere. 1st up is Daisy Janie. I’ve written before about Jan, the beginning and end of all things Daisy Janie. She’s an…
What does art mean in your life?
This is a question I struggle with often. A tweet led me to this Tanya Davis song: “Art”. And it reminded me of several ways art has meaning for me – perhaps it’ll point out some way art has meaning for you too! I’ve gotten 26 responses to my “Getting to know you” survey that…
Haiti: How can we help?
Just like you, my heart cries out for the Haitian people. A lot of folks have put together some great online ways to help: Indie Fixx is auctioning off donated items, a few each day, with all proceeds going to the Red Cross International Fund. Jacquie over at Tallgrass Prairie Studio is auctioning of 3 of her awesome neighborhood…
Bloggers to Watch in 2010, My list
Have you seen this ProBlogger’s post? In it, he calls for bloggers to create a list of blogs they’re going to be watching/reading closely this year, in the hopes of generating lists of blogs in all kinds of niches/industries. That got me to thinking about what list I would put together. I quickly realized that I read…
