fun finds
Hi all!! wow I know. My blogging has gotten sooooooooo bad the past month! I'm going to try better from now on. Lots to share today!
First, I got the new Girly Girl collection from sis tv and totally diggin it. I'm not much of a pastel person so I don't really like these layouts so much...but to prove I've been scrappin ;)
Everything but the flowers are in the collection :) eeeck...the pictures are bad too haha.
Went to the local park and just walked around for a bit. It was really refreshing to step into nature and out of the "city" life ya know?
Do you guys ever read Amber U. blog? the girl is just the cutest thing to walk green earth, and she's got such a fun urban style with a mix of fancy. So anyways...months ago I saw these vintage frames she found in a thrift shop and ever since I've been telling myself that I HAVE to find some of my own. Welps, I got lucky and found these babies in the local dollar store. They were bronze but I used Gesso and light blue paint to make them look old :) and I still have to put a picture in the third one LOL.
other fun finds..
I bought a couple of these at Big Lots for 5 dollars each! 5 dollars people! loooooove them...the black damasks are velvet
Found a better way to organize my flowers
Found a place that can print my photos at 12"x17"! very exciting!
and lastly, I got word that Michaels definitely will carry my paper line (by prima) and should hit shelves in March 2009 :D it's a long ways away but something to look forward to, and super exciting considering how picky they can be hehe ;b
The more I see this guys stuff the more I'm obsessed with it. My uncle has almost all of his books, toys, and a couple prints too. He's totally popular in the designer toy, and art industry and I just LOVEEee his imagination. Just when you think he won't be able to think of something different...he will blow your mind all over again. He's just that great. ;)
Tim Biskup (link in sidebar):
Isn't he just sooooooo imaginative??? I wish I could buy everything! Because of his popularity his stuff is actually pretty expensive. His toys are limited editions so they run anywhere from 65-over a 100 and they aren't even that big haha. Don't even get me started on his prints...those are just insane. But yah I'd say he is my favorite artist of all time.
But I also dig these:
by kathy Olivias
Her stuff can sometimes be a little dark and disturbing but overall she's a really great artist.
Also into these sweet finds...most of them are already sold out though ;b
Time is going to be very thin the next couple of months...I'm working on a second book :) but I'll make sure to still post eye candy :D
hugs, Adrienne
Wooooooow!!! Great to see your work! Love it!

Oh my goodness!! I think your layouts are just awesome!! Love those!! And I can't believe those frames and pillows were such steals!! That's incredible...lovin' that pillow! And all of the artwork that you posted is so cool!! I saw Samurai Jack in Tim Biskup's prints...I love Samurai Jack!! My kids watch Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (okay, I love it, too!) and I think they must have been inspired by Tim Biskup's art! Sorry for the babbling comment..hehe...congrats on you line being at Michael's!! How exciting!! I can't wait!! :-)
