Will We Have Rainbows Printable

May 26, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

I got such a warm feeling of nostalgia when I saw the “Will We Have Rainbows” art print that Nicole from Making It Lovely designed for her daughter, Eleanor’s, new bedroom. Nicole’s inspiration came from Doris Day’s Que Sera Sera, one of her grandmother’s favorites, and a song that I remember listening to over and over on my record player when I was a little girl. Man, I miss that old record player … and my Smurfs album and Wham! 45s.

Nicole has generously shared this lovely print as a free printable, so you can head over to her site to download the print and to see lots of other great details from Eleanor’s new room. Omigosh, the pink dresser!

These art prints by Atpalicis, a Ukrainian Etsy shop, are so completely adorable. The whimsical illustrations have visions of fairytales dancing in my head, and the watercolor-like washes of color give the prints such a warm and cozy feel.

Illustrated Letters by Jared Andrew Schorr

May 23, 2011 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m such a big fan of Jared Andrew Schorr’s papercut work, and these space-themed, illustrated letters that he created for the Illustrated Type show at Gallery Nucleus have absolutely made my day. Not only are they incredible pieces, but they bring together two of my favorite things: paper cutting and typography. Oh, how I love that adorable astronaut … and the pink, teal, navy, and yellow color palette, too!

Q is for Quiet, R is for Rocket, S is for Space Race, and T is for Taken

Be sure to check out more of Jared’s fantastic papercut pieces over on his blog.

My growing interest in origami absolutely skyrocketed when I spotted the amazing “Make It Beautiful” video by Erin Jang over at her blog, The Indigo Bunting. Erin created this super cool stop-motion vid for the May 2011 iPad issue of Martha Stewart Living with the help of photographer, Johnny Miller, and video editor, Philip Leaman. I’ve probably watched it 20 times already – such pretty origami work and beautiful colors!
