Rearranged the entire gallery at White Whale today (all day) with Sarah and Caroline. . . it looks good! Tomorrow is the big night, I am so not ready! These evergreen ornaments are so ready though, I drew them over Thanksgiving, and then strung them with strings and scattered silver pieces over them via brush, paint and scotch tape (yes, scotch tape) stencils. I love them! I hope other people will. . .

Just in time for metallic inspiration. . . I know its just an UO catalog, but I really love this one, I love the blingy party duds, yes I said blingy party duds. They are PartyParty by Confettisystem. . . I remember seeing some small photos of a fabulous silver pinata in Domino (sigh). So finally, some full full page spreads for oogling.

    yeaah, and you know what, they would also look great done on slabs of slate or rough wood…. i just love these branches :)

    Cory, you are silly

    Deb, thank you! can you see the similarities to the ones hanging on your wall : ) i think i must have been inspired by them. . .
