think pink!

I'm feeling pink lately...

Walks past Pershing Square remind me of the "Think Pink!" scene from Funny Face:

Also, since I'm considering slipcovers for a fabulous vintage sofa, I can't get these out of my mind (at the Villa Medici, no less):

(from The Way we Live: An Ultimate Guide for Global Design Inspiration -- my new favorite decor/environment book, seriously.  Don't judge by the boring cover;  it has incredible images from around the world--spaces humble to opulent--unlike anything I've seen recently!)

Also, it's the best season for fruit (to my mind, anyway):

So, I'm making new pinkish red jewels for your ears this coming season!

Dip dyed

This is my favorite tree on my jog--I think it had a bad encounter with some lightning, but I just imagine it dipping its branch like an arm into a pot of india ink.

 

These shoes kinda remind me of it, like I just kicked my toe into a can of red paint:

Home as art

What an inventive living sculpture by the artist Paula Hayes.  She calls it a  "Living Room Necklace".

She makes beautiful terrariums too, check them out on her site.

zen ted

I love this shot of Ted Muehling in his studio.  His creations are always gorgeous, but right now I'm crushing on his calm workspace.  Sometimes I feel like the theme of my desk/bench is "entropy happens".

I'm a maximalist through and through but I am so impressed when I see artists who work this way....

allora, flora

Speaking of flowers, these beautiful images are from a very old (Issue 02) copy of Bloom:

last two: Thomas Straub

just playing around

This is something new I started working on this weekend--it's a little Buccellati-inspired, I was just playing around with a scrap and a flower emerged. It's sort of an Iceland poppy, maybe a few different flowers would be nice, as stacking rings?

Gold Buccellati leaf cuff, sold to some lucky so-and-so a couple of years ago at Christie's:

realismo magico

I love these portraits by Christian Tagliavini. Maybe he found some 2.5th dimension between 2011 and the Renaissance? To me they are absolutely transcendent.

More art to add to my wish list!
