Inspiration come full circle

Deborah Younglao has long inspired me with her stunning silk painting. Some of her work focuses on abstract color play while other pieces are deeply intricate - and all unbelievably painted with wax and dyes. These newest pieces by Deborah were actually inspired by my photos! Take a peek at her process.

And for fun, whimsical, colorful art-to-wear, I am in love with Arlene Watson's nuno-felting. I am bound and determined to take a class from her, even if I have to drag her up to the Pacific NW and gather together a group... maybe in my new beach house?! Turns out, Arlene has made a fabulous nuno-felt bolster pillow inspired by my cornflower picture. You can see it amongst the other gorgeous felt treasures in her etsy shop!


The real beauty of blogs of course is YOU - my wonderful friends, who inspire me on a daily basis with your photography, writing, artwork, insights and close community. It makes me feel all warm and tingly inside to find out that I too have contributed to the stream of inspiration that flows between us all!
