Vintage Find!

So, yesterday my mom and I took another trip over to Rerun and I found this gigantic role of vintage vinyl wallpaper. Isn't it awesome!? I love how some of the drops have sparkles too (you might need to click on the photos to see it close up).


Now I just need to think of what I'm going to make with it. Here are some of my ideas so far:
- Sit-upon
- Zipper pouches
- Wallet

The role is gigantic, so I can have fun with lots of ideas. I may even try to incorporate some into my shop! What do you think I should make with it? I'd love to hear your opinions :)

Happy Monday

It's a beautiful Monday here in Portland. Seeing sunshine out my window makes me want to get outside and play! But before I do that, here are some photos from my weekend...

Dreamy Bedrooms ♥

I've always dreamed of the perfect bedroom. In high school, my absolute favorite part of Seventeen magazine was the room makeovers that readers would send in. I would cut them out and collect them and dream up what my perfect room makeover would be. I still have the clippings! Here were some of my favorites :)

I still dream of what my perfect bedroom would look like. I've always wanted a canopy bed. At age 25, my ultimate dream bed would look like this:

♥ Alice in Wonderland- Fashion

I'm loving this spread in February's Marie Claire on Alice in Wonderland inspired fashion. I also am counting down the days until Tim Burton's movie comes out! Can't wait :)

My Studio

A few weeks ago I took some photos of my studio (ie. my dining room). Now, this is a neat version for sure. Those of you that know me, know that I have a tendency to transform a room into a tornado when I'm creating. In any case, hope you enjoy the tidy version in these photos :)

Artist of the Day

Late last night, when I should have been in bed, but was instead sitting at my computer skimming through my Reader, I found the work of Sister Corita. Sister Corita Kent was an artist, nun (until 1968), activist and teacher. And she was one of the most politically radical, socially progressive printmakers of the 20th century. Her work is very beautiful and captivating. Read more about her life and work here.
