Wednesday Whim - Petit Beast

 images via Steampunk Tendancies via Cathy Van Hoang via Etsy

About 14 months ago, I acquired my first air plant. I like them because they are resilient. For someone like me, who has had many a plant become compost (wah!), they are perfect. Since then, I've amassed a collection at my desk that keeps me smiling throughout the day. It's the the little things, right?

When I came across Petit Beast created by LA-based designer, Cathy Van Hoang, I immediately fawned over the clever notion of making the air plants look like jellyfish. I admired the novelty of the plants. Their compact nature and unique silhouette were perfect for this concept. While I don't necessarily need any more plants, I'm pretty darn close to purchasing one or two (or three) from her Etsy shop.

Wednesday Whim - Redefined

I admit that I spend quite a bit of time on Etsy. (It's the crafty girl in me that makes me do it.) Because of all my "well spent" time, I happened to come across this England-based artist's, Rowan Stocks-Moore, work. He has redefined the poster art of famous Disney films. These prints have a film-noir quality to it that makes them far the innocent movies I remember them to be as a child. But, I love it for exactly that reason.  If you like them too, you can even purchase these prints at the artist's Etsy shop!

What do you think of them?

Hearts Are All Around Us

Today marks one week before St. Valentine's Day arrives.  Arguably, a person doesn't need one day to express adoration and appreciation for a loved one.  However, it does make for a fun tradition.  

Whether you are with someone or not, you can still find inspiration through observation.  As I viewed photo after photo, I appreciated the simplicity and symmetry of the heart shape.  As a child, the shape was fun to draw and was easily associated with feelings of love and sentiment.  While meanings of the heart has changed with time, I still like the association of the shape to love and sentiment.  I was glad to find that it led me to some stellar hand-made finds via Etsy.
