Inspiration Part II

More of the bowling alley

 

Inspiration

So this old bowling alley near our place has always caught my eye and when I was thinking of what I wanted to do for a new masthead or banner I thought the pink walls would be great for a photoshoot. The entire place, except the front, was painted pink. It is now painted an awful maroon color. Just after I took these shots they repainted the place. I was not happy about his. The sign out front is still really cool, I hope they don't decide to update it. Old looks so much better most of the time. I am in love with old signs. I imagine having a house some day with a large open living room and having an old neon store front sign leaning up against a wall. I'm talking HUGE. Now of course Tyrone and I got into a small bickering session during this trip because I was distracted by taking pics of everything besides what I had gone there to do.

Around Blogolopolous Town

I did another drive-by around Blogolopolous Town recently and this is what I found

Another smashed Wicked Witch - totally love this form of street art

And THIS found on the streets of Berlin is just flat out awesome. I could spend hours on this site.

This artist;s whimsical collages are magical

This revival radio is dope but way too pricey - come on Anthro lower your prices!

Avenger of Evil Deeds piece by Andrew Bannecker found via Creature Comforts

I am dying to try this Coconut Shrimp and Pineapple Salsa recipe

Love the inside of this felt sewing kit

Admittedly, this baby makes my ovaries ache and that's saying a lot

And finally, I am new to this blog and loving it - found via a beautiful mess

one last thing I can't take the repeat off of this song - someone stop me before I hate it

Inspiration - Street Art

Now this is Street Art

This use to look like this. I posted about this before here. Check out the post to see better pics of it up close. I loved how it looked but now it's so much more interesting.

and now - these taken the other morning by me before work on a sunny morning - it was perfect out

I love how they covered the entire wall

A drive-by happened in Blogolopolous Town

(I think I spell Blogolopolus different every time I type it - no care!)

I did a drive-by recently of a few of the million blogs I follow (and sites) and this is what I found.

This outfit post by Kendi Everyday touches my Betty Crocker spirit and is appropriately titled.

Extremely jealous of this thrifted airplane bag posted by So Fawned.

My perfectly proportioned, Barbie doll of a cousin Kendahl (Stepmom Extraordinaire) brought to my attention these wicked kicks. She has links to all of sources so go check them out. I can't stop daydreaming about these shoes.

Aaaand, this Vanilla Bean Bundt cake from Craving Cupcakes has made my keyboard short-circuit from the drool falling out of my mouth.

I love Anthro although I can't afford a damn thing in it's entire store even when something is on sale. It saddens me. It also saddens me that I don't get their catalogue in the mail anymore even though I've re-requested one at least three times. It's been over year. At least I can't see it online.

I am DYING over this tumblr called The Daily Frenchie. I want like seven of them. They're so squeeshy.

Having a hard time taking my eyes off of this piece by this artist found via notpaper.net

Last night was so much fun. My dad taught us how to hand tool leather. I am pretty giddy over this. I will post pics soon. I also got the most rad package in the mail yesterday that I have to share.

Remember the failed art journal? Well I decided to scrap it and go with a plain composition book. It's perfect and will do the job just fine.

I've been working on a few inspirational pages that I thought I would share with you. They sort of show the different sides of me and the things I love that I want to try and incorporate in what I do. I love playing with Polyvore but sometimes doing it the old fashioned way (cut & paste) needs to be done.

Sorry for the lack of real contact and/or wit. I'm still trying to get over this cold. I've just felt a bit off lately.

enjoy

At lunch the other day...

I found these...

Moare Inspirational posts and Fauxtography if you so desire.

I've been taking pictures with my Diana Mini here and there but I can't wait to use it more when the weather starts to warm up some more. I have major anxiety about finding the right place to have them developed though. I've done a lot of searching online and most people seem to complain about it next to doing it yourself but I will probably never try that myself.
