Pinning Inspiration #24

This week, I'd planned to write about a person for Pinning Inspiration (well, it has been a little while!)
But I'm feeling tired and non-wordy, so this week's Pinning Inspiration theme is amazing headdresses (something I've pinned a lot of, recently!)

Here goes...



This one is just plain stunning. Oh to have $200 and a place to wear it!

Marvellous Monday #34

Happy Monday! Are you all geared up and ready for the week ahead?
Whether you are or not, here is this week's Marvellous Monday, with a fresh installment of cute animals!

Lazy Last Minute Clown Ruff

Previously, I posted a tutorial for a clown/pierrot ruff. It works pretty well, but is also pretty damn time consuming—it takes a good day or more!

This one is much faster. I’m talking of less than an hour to make. Maybe only ten minutes!

It won't look as good, but this is more of a last-minute party costume piece. It is made using string and crepe paper, staples of my childhood fancy dress costumes :)

Pinning Inspiration #23

Continuing on from recent themes, this week's Pinning Inspiration looks at religious interiors.

 

Places of worship are full of beautiful decoration--and inspiration!
Religious places may make use of stained glass to depict scenes from holy texts and create shows of awe-inspiring coloured light to remind worshippers of the power of their deity.

Marvellous Monday #33

Are you having a good monday? Today, Marvellous Monday's theme is blue.

Blue can be both warm and cool: the sea on a hot summer's day...

Pinning Inspiration #22

Last week's Pinning Inspiration was about details. This week I'm looking at the opposite end of the scale: simplicity.




To me, simplicity does not mean 'complete lack of detail'. Simplicity is about finding the naturally occuring details, lines and imperfection (though 'perfection' is a matter of taste).

Marvellous Monday #32

Are you ready for another Marvellous Monday? This week, Marvellous Monday is about everything autumnal.

Though the days are becoming shorter and cooler, the autumn brings with it vibrant and warm shades of orange, red and yellow...
