Sand Dance
This is unusual — sand dance art by Peter Donnelly. I discovered this on the Celestial Dreams blog and subsequently on Environmental Graffiti. Click the links for the full story and video describing his creative process. I imagine he’d have to have a calm, non-windy day to do this and with lots of patience. The concept kinda reminds me of Zen-like, Asian sand/rock gardens. I’ll have to keep this in mind as I’m traveling to pick up my son from school and remember the calm in this when we return. Happy Memorial Day!
Musical Art Words
I really like this typographical portrait of Thom York by Steve Yee. Good thing my son, who we’re on the long road trip to pick up this weekend, doesn’t read this blog. I think this would make a perfect birthday present. Now, the quest is to find it. Kick Start your weekend here with Radiohead from In Rainbows: http://www.youtube.com/user/radiohead?blend=1&ob=4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcANFVcJeOM
Fabric Design
I found this blog by Patricia Bravo inspirational in describing her creative process of designing fabric patterns. She is a talented textile designer who produces brightly patterned fabrics for independent quilters through her online shop Art Gallery Fabrics. I think her designs are pleasantly intricate and the colors cheerful and uplifting. It was very interesting to see how her artwork goes from sketch to print.
