Artsy Inspiration: Uppercase and Dottie Angel

 Image by Dottie Angel

I ran across this video this morning as I was enjoying my morning cup of coffee. Its kind of an advertisement for a book by Uppercase, but it is so full of inspiring colors, images, and pretty music that I had to share it with you.   It features a lovely British Crafter named Tif, who goes by Dottie Angel in her creative business.  I was instantly inspired by her home and and creations and fantasizing about moving to the countryside of England to craft my life away.  The book looks really gorgeous and bursting with more inspirational images.  I just might have to put it on my Christmas list. :) So if you need a bit of prettiness in your day, check it out and I hope it inspires lots of new creative energy!

Nursery Artsy Inspiration: Mindy's Bunnies

 Finkle Floats - Mixed Media Painting by Mindy Lacefield

This is not a baby blog.  That being said, I am about to have a baby and it's a big part of my head space right now.  So I thought while I am nesting and working on getting our home ready for a Birth Day, I could share with you a few of my favorite artsy inspirations that I am crushing on for baby boy's room.  First up today are the beautiful bunnies created by Mindy Lacefield of Tims Sally.  I adore Mindy's art, adore Mindy's Spirit, and just plain adore her.  She's a wonderful inspiration, and I have loved her bunny paintings for a long time.  They are whimsical, playful, and just make me happy to look at.  I have a print of this top one (Finkle) on my son's wall right now and hope to join it with others one day soon.  So here's a dose of bunny cutesy prettiness and inspiration Mindy style.

Art Journaling Pages: Featuring Anahata Katkin

Today is my usual day to post my latest art journal pages, but since I've been so busy lately, I haven't had the chance to work in my sketchbook in a while.  So I thought I'd feature the art journal pages of another artist who never ceases to inspire me.  I recently discovered that the incredible Anahata Katin posts her journal pages on her blog.  She has been such a motivation for me as she seems to be an unending source of new ideas, inspiration, and has created an incredible business from her work.  If for some reason you've never heard of her, you may have seen this on the cover of Somerset Studios last year featuring her Fearless artwork.  She is also the driving force behind Papaya (an amazing online boutique that features her artwork on the products).  So without further accolade or adieu, here are some of my favorite Anahata journal pages from her online album.

Arent they amazing! Do they inspire you to grab your art supplies and get messy today?  They really do for me.  I cant wait for life to slow a bit and get back into my Art Journal.  Who's work is inspiring you this week?
