vintage collage

Is it a vase or two faces?  Similar to that psychology test that is always used in the movies, artist John Stezaker creates his own versions with postcards.  Whether it is classic movie stills, vintage postcards, or illustrations from old books, he creates an entirely new work of art through collage in order to invent a new meaning to the image.  No longer do these old images tell a story of the past, but rather forces the viewer to take a deeper look into their own mind! 

sharpie designs

Recently I stumbled upon this artist who creates all of her room installations entirely with sharpie makers.  Charlotte Mann creates a room within a room white only a white wall "canvas" and thick black marker pens.  Personally I love drawing with sharpies because of their density and weight! Never even thought to create art solely with a pen. I guess moms should allow their kids to paint on the walls!

The Ice Book from Davy and Kristin McGuire on Vimeo.

The Ice Book is the story of a princess who lures a boy into the forest in order to warm her heart of ice. 

The performance blends animation, puppetry, and film to bring a pop-up book vividly to life in front of the audience's eyes.

not just one necklace

We have all tried or succeeded in converting our old necklace into something different, but now the task has been perfected.  Convertible jewelry has been successfully rendered by Nan Fusco of Laguna Beach. Not only does her line of jewelry pieces convert into one other way to adorn yourself but most of them can become 6 or 8 different looks!  She uses loops, hooks, pulleys, and ties to make each piece capable of converting into several styles.  Plus, only the best materials make up the collection with semi-precious stones, tropical stones, 24-karat gold, and vintage silver. 

However, Nan Fusco plans to keep her jewelry label small and unique.  The collection is only sold in Laguna Beach and at Tootsies in Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta.  Thus these great pieces that could work for every outfit are definitely high-quality limited edition pieces.
