Diane vonFurstenburg

I spotted this ring today on the Neiman Marcus website. It's a Diane vonFurstenburg ring and I think it is beautiful because of the architecture element. However I do think it would be cooler if the metal was gold.

Modernism Show at the Corcoran

Brian and I went to the Modernism: Designing a New World 1914-1939 at the Corcoran in Washington DC. It was a fantastic show! I highly highly recommend it. It closes on July 26th and admission is $14 per person. So if you live in the area you should hit this show before it's gone forever!

Grey and Silver

Knit Art

My friend Catie Cueto introduced me to this kind of art a couple of years ago. I was blown away by its ability to take a craft and transform it into high art without changing the creation process.

Peonies

This is a painting done by my friend Nicole Bourgea. Nicole is a professional artist and this painting is currently for sale. For more information please check her website:

Enjoy!

Oyster Platters

Oyster Platters aren't fashionable anymore, but they are still beautiful and I think a good collection would look fascinating hung on a wall in an interesting arrangement.

Thiebaud

Life has been fairly uninspiring lately. Sorry about the lack of posts. However keep looking for art in the everyday and in the meantime, in between inspirations, here is an image of a Wayne Thiebaud and a link with some information about this still living artist.

Alice + Olivia

I think this dress is tres magnific. I am planning on getting some guts and trying it on at Saks...we'll see.

Coin Purse

This really redefines the way we carry our change. Isn't it amazing how it looks like a fossil, something buried at the bottom of our purse, or the bottom of the world.

Mobiles!

Who doesn't love a mobile? Movable art is hypnotic and a great escape from the bore of everyday life.
This is from a mobile website... flendsted-mobiles.com check it out!

Shredding Scissors.

I must have these!

Glass Bird Necklace

I found this on ebay today and thought it was so cool. It's a necklace from Italy consisting of white glass birds clustered together. I have never seen anything like this and I thought I would share it with you.

Sonia Delaunay

1885-1979

Sometimes we all forget that great artists aren't something of long ago. Sonia died just 2 years before I was born and great artists are being born everyday.

Killer Queen

I adore Freddie Mercury. He is a true artist, he was a great stage performer, songwrite and piano player.

House of Antiques
