You've heard it before: you can find
inspiration everywhere.
This week, I'm looking for
inspiration in catalogs that
I get free in the mail.
This shop carries a lot of young and
modern pieces for the home.
They have some cool artwork
like this one:
It's a typical New York scene.
The artist captures the city's energy,
vitality and fast pace.
I'm taking this cue for my
own humble piece of art.
blah: black & white photos I took of New York
City {they've been sitting in a box for ages}
blah: wood backing salvaged from an old picture frame
{the glass broke}
I picked a photo from the pile: the "Imagine"
mosaic, taken in Central Park. It's a tribute
to John Lennon.
It's my favorite because the word
gives you permission to escape to
your version of an ideal world.
The photo and printed paper
{to cover the gaps}
were attached to the wood
with acid-free/photo safe glue.
It's very New York but more subdued
compared to the art it was
inspired by.
Artwork that's handmade.
Artwork that inspires.
TADA!
