Something Old Something New

I love starting my week reading http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ as I sip my first cup of tea on Monday. Postsecret is based on a very simple idea started by Frank Warren who invited people from around the world to create a piece of postcard-size art that represents a secret.

Postsecret is infinitely inspiring to me (and it seems millions of others) because it puts our humanity on display without the convenient camouflages of job, role, age and pretention. And the vulnerability that comes through the secrets allow us to see that people are really not that different from one another.

Officially 145 million people have visited the Postsecret blog. Please join in the Postsecret community today.

I will share any inspiring DIY projects under the label Playtime Projects

Here's a quick tutorial on how to make a pattern on www.designspongeonline.com from guest blogger Julia http://www.juliarothman.com/who is an illustrator/pattern designer. Julia's work is sweet, fresh and whimsical. She inspires me to look at simple everyday object and see the potential for art in them. Her patterns are like mini wonderland I would love to have a romp in.

Have a wonderful and inspiration fill week! xx
