Friday Favorites – Inspirational link round-up

friday favorites

haha, Friday Favorites re-run (from just last week) because somehow this post got deleted.  

I purchased this painting by Emily Rickard and it arrived this week. I’m in love, it just makes me so happy to look at.

Check out this public art installation where little sculptural bronze hands were posted all over central Wellington, offering little gifts to whomever sees them. I really wish the makers of this would start selling those little hands. I’d buy a bunch and put them up all over DeKalb. Check out the link for more pictures and a video.

I made this little gnome from a free paper gnome template, designed by 3EyedBear, via howaboutorange

Homemade Wendy’s Frosty, this needs to be made soon.

Poster for Scholastic

I have a few books on color (including the Color Index) but sometimes when I’m working on a project and need some color inspiration I turn to my flickr favorites. This poster by andrea_daquino was the color inspiration for my beaded necklaces.

How great are these architural stamps by The Steam Whistle Press? via design sponge

Serious #artomat loot! L-R John Gall, Circe Dunnell, and Pascale Hulin

Yesterday we drove out to Kishwaukee Community College to buy some artwork! Yes, I purchased 3 original pieces from the artomat machine, outside of the library and it was a stacked pack with work from (L-R) John Gall, Circe Dunnell, and Pascale Hulin. If you haven’t visited the machine, it is treasure for this area, and I’d encourage you to check it out.

I love this picture from Chau’s Houston hand drawn windows. My nephew has some crayons or markers that are meant for coloring on windows and I thought it would be fun to get some. But after seeing this white only picture, I HAVE to find some window markers, STAT!
