Can't Stop Thinking Big!

Pin It Now!


Can't Stop Thinking Big... Rush

     Here it IS! Woo Hoo! I'm amazed at myself.  Wouldn't have ever thought it possible, but it has happened.  I have completed my very first Mixed Media Canvas!  I'm in shock and I'm really excited about all the blank canvases sitting patiently in my closet.  So without further adieu. I present to you...

The Fairies' Secret!


"Every Wall is a Door"
The Hidden Text is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson

You must find your own key to open your walls.

My favorite key and a pair fairy wings. (I made those a while back and they were perfect! I got the idea from a book, that I think is titled, Enchanted Adornments.)

Pinterest in bed...Leads to Words and Eggs.

Pin It Now!

There's something about surfing Pinterest in bed that instantly makes me relaxed and sleepy. There's a quality about the mobile app that I enjoy so much more than the PC or laptop. But laying in bed unwinding from a fruitful, but long day with Pinterest is like a bed time story told in just pictures. Tonight it led me to Words and Eggs. A tumblr page by college instructor and calligrapher Lesley Yoder.

"W&E primarily spotlights vintage and vintage-inspired design, typography, hand lettering, literature, francophilia, and anything else that's rad." thats Verbatim from the Tumbler site.

The images there prompted me to seek out the Words and Eggs blog site

If you're a geeked out movie nerd on a star trek/star wars high then its worth a visit it get lost navigating the fascinating posts on vintage themes with a nerdy twist. Especially "I can read movies" where the covers for the novelizations of such movie icons as Blade Runner and Highlander are art and design, not stock photos from the movie.

Anyway... It was a nice end to the day. I would encourage anyone to go for a visit or a brief interlude. So check it out.

Words and Eggs!
