Write It Down

The new year is in full swing, and I am planning for 2014 like a mad woman! List after list after list are all taking form in my notebook as plans and ideas are carefully laid. Sometimes things just don’t feel real until I’ve written them down, you know?

Emily Gherard

Emily Gherard-1-Design Crush

 

Emily Gherard‘s abstracts are phenomenal. They make me mind spin and turn in a way that makes me think I know what I’m looking at and then two seconds later I’m rethinking myself. I love that feeling. I’ll make you visit her site to learn what she’s actually painting (mwahahahaha).

Still

Still-1-Design Crush

 

Christmas Eve seemed an exceptionally appropriate time to share these pieces from Still. Take time to reflect on the beauty of the simple things in life and the wonders of the world.
