Discoveries


I thought I’d share with you three recent discoveries, starting with Pen & Ink’s Tumblr.  As I’ve mentioned in the past, I have a single tattoo, half an inch high on my left foot. All tattoos, whether small or large, tell a story; depicting a clear moment in time. If you too are interested in these types of personal snippets, do click HERE.

 
Discovery #2
Browsing through Nicolette Masson’s blog, I discovered the prints of Devin McGarth. His art is fun, accessible, affordable and his biography cracks me up! I recommend you check it out my clicking HERE. I ordered a small blue butterfly print this week. I’ll keep you posted as to how if looks on my wall!  

 
 

Discovery #3
Finally, I present to you Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists' Enumerations from the Collections of the Smithsonian Museum, a wonderful book which assembled the to-do lists of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. It’s mind blowing to think how much our lives are dictated by lists (grocery lists, to-do lists, New Year’s Resolutions, little black books, heck, even the Ten Commandments!) Maybe I could start creating intricate lists like this one by Adolf Konrad, from 1962-63? To know more, click HERE.



Have you made any interesting discoveries recently? I’d love to hear about them!

Designer Paper Goods


I was browsing through my “daily blogging reads,” and amongst many, I caught up with Katie Armour’s new posts. Since she just introduced me to pure etsy genius (no less!) I had to share it with you! Discover 23 madison studio, a stationery shop that features the illustrations of a graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Let me know what you think!
  

Nail polish stickers (I’m sorry… did you read that properly? I said NAIL POLISH STICKERS! Puppies in teacups aren’t cuter than this!)

Celine bag note card with envelop


Various cards & small prints, including a Chance perfume note card! (The artist is available for custom orders! How cool is that?)


Mini Chanel nail polish note cards (set of 12)

Tell me, did you make any fun discoveries this weekend?
