Art Inspiration Around the Blogosphere
Lately I have stumbled upon a great deal of inspiration…
First of all, oh, I’m itching to pick up a paintbrush again! Every time I visit Anahata Katkin’s blog, I feel so inspired. Part of me just wants to drop all my writing “obligations” and just head to the craft store to get new paint and paintbrushes. My heart is yearning for it!
I am in absolute awe of one of Anahata’s latest creation - a mixed media mandala that is part of her Artfest 2008 proposal. I have to find a way to get up to Oregon to meet her and learn some of her techniques!
Then there’s Andrew Daniel…I was browsing around Etsy one night and discovered his very colorful and fun works of art. I bought this Tidal Drift greeting card (pictured here), but instead of giving the card to someone, I think I’ll probably frame it for my own art collection ;)
I also just discovered the print & pattern blog that offers so many ideas for greeting cards. If I just need to get my color and print fix, I can go here instead of the scrap booking store for ideas - plus it’s easier on the wallet ;) God only knows how much money I can spend when I enter a craft store!
