New Ravenna Mosaics 12 December, 2009

In a course of my Saturday morning blogs reading (finally, after a week of deadlines and dues!) I stumbled upon Sara Baldwin Design Blog form New Ravenna Mosaics. And I saw this…and this…. and, of course, this…So have I left you longing for more?! I’m telling you, people, these are only tile borders. Can you imagine what they have for actual tiles and mosaics?! Here’s some sneak pics but for the rest of it you have to click here since I cannot have a 3-page post.

I’m absolutely in love with her new waterjet collection and precious jewel glass collection. My imagination sinks into creating new projects utilizing these amazing resources.

Another great find on “never-ending-source-of-inspiration” Etsy. Stilettoheights, mixed media art by Jeniffer Gordon. My mind gets lost in every single print. There’s so much to indulge in: vintage photography (who doen’t love that), beautiful hand writing and the COLOR! Stunning half-tones/shades. Need I say more?!

With a variety of sizes and formats there’s a lot to choose from. And she has buy one get one free sale going on, so hurry up!

with a holidays coming consider yourself covered, Jennifer even has the most adourable gift stickers for those of you, like me, who care about packaging just as much as about the gift. <images via stilettoheights.etsy.com>

Wayfarers in Palos Verdes 8 November, 2009

After early morning browsing through several construction sites in Palos Verdes, CA I found myself a mile  away from the famous Wayfarers Chapel.  Built in 1951 by Lloyd Wright, son of THE man of American architecture Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chapel amazes one with its fusion of nature and architecture. Yes, it looks amazing on pictures but the atmosphere is beyond the words. It made me wish for my wedding day to be ahead again, as I cannot imagine a more harmonious place than this to speak out your vows.
