Special

These are really special. Tiny paintings in handmade frames and miniatures, all hand-constructed and then photographed by artist Ashley Curry.

See, I told you they are small. Itty Bitty, to be exact.

Little they might be, but what a huge statement they make when grouped together to tell a fascinating story. You can see more of Ashley Curry's work, here, and you can buy your own wee masterpiece, here.

Daily Pretty

Mmmm, squishy green velvet sofa and I dare you not to be mesmerized by that fabulous framed photography. Can. Not. Look. Away.

Photographer Fixation: Leslie Williamson

These images are all beautiful in their own right, but I am totally mesmerized by the way in which the photographer was able to capture the light.

Sunday Smile

It's Sunday. This made me smile. And I'd say it is pretty spot on- "how genetics work!"

It's a Scandinavian Thing

Weathered, white, touches of black, warm woods...I don't know if these are Danish, Swedish, or otherwise, but I can hear the rustling of the birch trees and taste the crisp, cool air. It's a Scandinavian "thing," I think.

Wishes for a Weekend Full of Wonder.

For future reference.

I can always use more inspiration when thinking about art walls and hanging photography. Here is a great round up of images by sfgirlbybay. Sticky note to self: find an empty wall and do this!
