CREATIVE INSPIRATION

FLOWERS + LINKS

Instead of pink hearts and cheesy quotes I like to share some creative links with you today. Everybody needs inspiration and chance to see things differently time to time. I went back in time and tried to remember the early inspiration sources I got when I started my blog, painting and making ceramics and DIY. We go back maybe even time before Pinterest.

I remember how happy I was when I found a very interesting site called Book By Its Cover.  It is a site devoted to showcasing creative publications run by talented Julia Rothman. I fell in love with the sketchbooks by Alison Worman. There are a lot of creative energy and talent. Worth to see.

Second place where I like you to visit is Trendtablet by Lidewij Edelkoort. It's a place with so many interesting stories and things to see. This time I chose a wonderful project called grafted for you to see. It's a combination of ceramics and plants. 

Workshops. How much we get positive energy and inspiration from other people? I've been in several food photography workshops and I have to say they have had a big influence on me. I found the very first one I attended from Ace Camps. Different kind of people with different backrounds but with one common thing - love for food photography. It was a beautiful experience and I got plenty of inspiration and met a lot of lovely people. At the moment it is quite easy to find a workshop compared few years ago. They are very trendy at the moment and so many are making them. So choose carefully!

I have so many creative idols that it feels a bit difficult to name only one but her name is Hagar Vardimon. She makes beautiful and thoughful collages. Go and see her wonderful work under the creative name Happy Red Fish Art.

Finally we get to the last link and that is Fine Little Day's blog post about whittle. I don't remember when I found this blog but it has very nice nordic feeling with great topics and this time she is writing about something that is (i think) coming strongly next trend. Whittle. We already have followed creative people like woodworker Ariele Alasko who makes beautiful things from the wood. But as a DIY person I have already made plans to buy a very good carving knife to make a hand-carved wooden spoon. But in a meanwhile I borrow the carving knife from my husband :)

What is your favorite creative link?

The task isn't easy at all. I'm fan of all these fine blogs and  I have different kind of reasons why to pick up them today. If you ask me tomorrow I can tell 8 more. There is so many talented and skilled people here in our planet that it just blows my mind. And this list reminds me also of my to do -list. I should make a proper blogroll but you know it's on my list and hopefully happens in near future.

TOP 8 Blogs that Rocks

Dietlind Wolf

She Rocks! She is visual multi-disciplinary designer , propstylist, photographer, artist in my opinion and I admire her so much. Someday I would like to make photo shooting with her. You know, we need to have dreams.

Hello Sandwich

She is also talent that I admire. She lives in Japan but she is an Australian artist and graphic designer. I love to see her work and Japan through her eyes. One day I like to travel to Japan.

Jealous Curator

Well need to say no more. I'm jealous. Inspiration to all people. She blogs about art. I wish a had money to buy some great art.

Book By Its Cover

This is Julia Rothman's book review blog. It's been off for some time but now it's getting more writers and we are going to have it back. Yay! I should read more.

Poppytalk

It is a Canadian design blog. It is about beautiful things, the decayed and handmade. And I love handmade, vintage, special and curious things.  I wish I had bigger cupboard.

Fine Little Day

This blog is an inspiration focused blog run by Elisabeth Dunker. It's Swedish so I just live next door in Finland. I admire her blog because she has very simple look and strong feeling in her blog. She also has very nice photography. Go and see for example homes of her friends. Adorable. You can find more homes in main page right sidebar Home of... homes are so nicely decorated, I wish I could get some order here at my home.

And 2 blogs from our lovely byw bb course:

Bohème Circus

This blog is sweet. Great work Cèline! At the moment I'm also interested about snail mail and handmade. I long for those moments when you received some nice cards or letters. They were special moments. Maybe I should write a love letter to my husband :) or remember my friend with beautiful card. Or maybe you have somebody who you have a little bit forgotten and maybe you could remember her/him with a lovely card or letter. Think about that. I wish I would have time and effort to write one.

Monstercircus

Ok, yes both these ones has word circus in their name. Can't help it. Love the circus! Mette is doing also great work!! She is focused on DIY. I can see her real passion about it and I admire that. She has a goal. I like to be as focused.

I could add so many blogs from our class! Nice, talented and interesting people.  And if you now want to know my favorite music that rocks you find it here ! (and great video by the way)
