I have to say that these pieces by ian o'phelan are some of the most exciting patterns I've seen in ages. Simply breathtaking! Found via the textile blog.

3 favorites, botanicals plus ceramics plus cyanotype. The combined beauty from studio glithero. So good! Another fabulous find via mocoloco.

Ok this "all the rain makes it greener here" line is getting very tired and sad. It's officially warm and sunny almost everywhere else in the country, even alaska for god's sake! And the forecast is that it's going to get "rainier" mid-week. Is that even possible? Yikes!

Which means it's time to look at happy, cheery art. Thanks to these sweet posters from izzy matthews (top) and lisa barnes-orlandi (bottom) I'm feeling better, if not dry, already.

The last couple of days have been amazing. Unseasonably warm and sunny. It's into the garden for us and subsequently, to the garden store for me. It's too early for many plants to be there, let alone blooming but regardless, of the ones that are it feels like a happy homecoming. To see the shapes, colors and compositions of flowers again makes me so very happy after the cold, grey months of winter. Which may be why I'm drawn to these strange and lovely assemblages made from flower heads, petals and leaves by photographer frances pelzman liscio. Gorgeousness on the screen celebrating gorgeousness in the garden. Perfect!
