Wind Paintings

November 1, 2011 Leave a comment

I saw these images on Design*Sponge and I was, pun unintended, blown away. I don’t know why, but seeing these pictures I can totally imagine this process being virtually silent, and beautiful. The kind of beautiful that makes you believe in wonders and natural peace on earth. Bob Verschueren Wind Paintings, images via I Love Belgium

Yes, you read that right, my list of lists. If you enjoy making lists as much as I do (which is pretty odd for a right-brainer like me), then making lists of lists is the epitome of fun. All the research! When it all comes together you feel like a Knowledge Queen! Anyway, here are some of the great lists of Halloween costumes I have found.

-Yahoo’s 30 easy diy halloween ideas

-Of course, photojojo‘s ideas are photography related. (I love the grayscale/Pleasantville-style idea)

-not martha has a superb list of lists, too. This link to different drink based costumes is a great read.

-Real Simple and Martha Stewart has some great family-oriented costumes.

-Most of these costume ideas from babble could be used for kids or adults. Those Fantastic Mr. Fox costumes, oh my goodness!

-SplitSider has a list of comedy-related halloween ideas that are pretty great. If I had short hair I would be Stefon for sure.

-I adore this website, take back halloween. Despite what society says, you don’t have to dress as a slutty ladybug, cop or whatever. You can dress clever and cool without a short skirt.

1. Patterns of Light, 2. Untitled, 3. The last one…, 4. Have a Very Bokeh Christmas, 5. lustro, 6. Untitled

I found this collage in my Drafts folder, and I couldn’t remember if there was something significant I was planning on writing with it – thanks, memory.

But I thought I’d share it with the wish of a fantastic weekend!

Home State Love

If you take out all the political quandaries my state has had, Arizona has a lot of things to be proud of. Canyon de Chelly, Grand Canyon, San Xavier, vineyards, statuesque saguaros – the Wild West is alive and breathing.

I do love my home state, and, inspired by this post from Design Mom and a little help from Jordan Ferney, I was able to make my own affordable State Love art.

All I needed was: water color paper, an outline of the state, beautiful piece of our state song, .99 cent watercolors and bam! A little goes a long way.

Haha! tricked you – it isn’t a giveaway I’m doing! I just thought I’d drum up some more entries for my BFFF who is doing a giveaway on her amazing craft blog, honeyscrap. She made that necklace.

I am constantly telling her I would pay major $$ for anything she makes on her blog, and here she’s giving something away! People, if you like it, put a ring (or comment) on it.
