Elements; Water

Monday, August 17, 2009 by admin.

Take a big cleansing breath…..& repeat.

OMmmmmm….OMmmmmm.

Imagine deep crystal clear water!

 “Water”

Refreshing / Cleansing, having a reviving effect.

 To make like new; to give new life. Spiritual.

The waves of Scallop design on the undercarriage reflect the idea of the Moons (Moonstone) influence and energy to propel the Oceans and Seas to constantly keep moving and changing the landscape.

The Rachel Zoe Project (through my rose colored glasses) is all about the art of style.

A lot of her design inspiration seems to draw from the past masterpieces.

Combining the Vintage influence with the Chic-est cutting edge look.

Versatility is very important I believe.

A well designed piece from the past leaves its mark on tomorrows wave of creative inspiration.

 as to say;
Brilliantly created am / was I,

Special?  Yes indeed!

 Fresh as a cool, crisp fall rain shower.

 Truly Unique, Timeless.

Then of course there is the beautiful Rainbow

(Rainbow Moonstone) as a great promise of tomorrow.

The vintage aura of this piece gives respect / homage to the past, to those that have stood the test of time.

Life requires times of refreshing.

Acts 3:18-20

Elements

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 by admin.

 

Ever wonder what creative process designers use to find inspiration?

I just designed some new work. Thought I might have a little fun before I fully reveal them to the world.

Ok… one of my favorite TV shows is running now (LA Ink) on TLC and two more are getting ready to air,

“Project Runway” Aug. 20th on Lifetime 

 “The Rachel Zoe Project” Aug. 24th on Bravo.

If you can get past all the entertaining drama there is a wealth of information on inspiration technique.

Here is how I see it; LA Ink…

There is a story behind the art. Emotions, memories, statements of expression all motivate the client and artist to create art, right?…

and since I’m a fan of surrealism, the symbolism that a visual piece can communicate about a thought is fascinating.

( getting DEEP into the mind thing)

. A… yeah… right….

That is if you’re into the art world or some kind of astral projection meditation dealyo.

ANYWAYS…..

All the shows are design oriented and have parallels to my world.

I’m trying to get the bugs worked out of the new site by the time the other shows air. I’ll have three new pieces up for sale in the shopping cart area..YEAH!.

So between now and then I’ll give glimpses of the new pieces along with the thoughts and inspiration details…

It’ll be jolly good fun, you’ll see.

We have all had those times in our life when you start thinking

“what the heck am I doing here?”

My youngest is just starting college today…That could have something to do with all this.

These designs I call “Elements”

They express/ communicate the thought of getting back to the basics.

 Introspection of “what does life require?”

The first of the designs I wanted to create with a simple architectural shape and a color palette that would reflect in contrast the nitty gritty concept of …

“Most everything worth doing in this world takes hard work!

 Just deal with it!”

The Architectural idea representing “There is a plan”,

experiencing that plan is the wonderment called “LIFE”;

 It would be a shame to waste the God givin gifts He has blessed us with.

It may look simple but this piece defiantly had its challenges, just like life.

I believe one key to realize in life is;

What is your gift? and how do I use that gift as a tool for good in helping others find joy and purpose.

“Surrealism is destructive, but….

 it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.”

 Salvador Dalí

“Earth”

Looks like Chaos in there!

  

Chaos? Think about this;

These gem stones have a destiny

and a story that has touched many lives already!

 Huh,huh, what about that?

Was there a plan for this gem…

 before the creation of the Earth?
