Seeing Red

Inspired by my earlier post, I'm now seeing RED:

1.  Old lady swear words print by sianuska
2. Red dress by annapopovich
3.  Steel coat hook by pmcustom
4.  Photo print by bomobob
5.  Embroidery hoop fiber art by sometimesiswirl

Spray paint adds personal touch to store bought items

I've always loved shopping for bargains at Home Goods.  I find drastically reduced items that I know I've seen in boutiques (for example, a favorite candle of mine).  Admittedly, many items are a bit generic and need to be altered slightly to integrate into my home decor.

Spray paint is a very easy fix!  I found this giant metal letter "D" for cheap.  It had an old brown patina that was a bit too country for me.  So...I had E sand it to give it a rough surface, we primed it, and painted it glossy red.

VIOLA!! I have modern red "D" hanging in our courtyard! Love it!

Random Got Beautiful

Several weeks ago, I came across this website, Random Got Beautiful. Created by Nikki Farquharson in March 2007, "the concept is to take photos containing dominant colours out of their original context and place them together to create a new one." [source]

I submitted two of my pictures (red hydrant and empty chair); they were accepted and are now on display on the red and blue pages. I'm a little tingly inside.

Have a fantastic weekend! Next week, I plan to post a long overdue Living Handmade with photographer, Diana Brennan. I also have two other great post/possibly features coming up. One of which welcomes your involvement!

Inspired by: red + yellow + lines
