resin, baby

I know how it is, dear readers. After seeing the resin bracelets as sculpture, in Laura Olsen and Stephen Ormandy's home (featured below), you too want a resin bracelet sculpture. I know I do. But after visiting Dinosaur Design's wonderful website, you feel disappointed because you don't want to spend $250 for a bracelet. Well don't despair. Here's the solution - Resign Resin Design. Fortunately, the artist is having a love affair with resin. She makes fab bracelets, and they are reasonably priced!

Now you too can construct a resin bracelet sculpture. I'm fascinated by resin - I'll take one of each please! I'd like a resin bowl in hot pink, maybe I'll contact Resign to see if she does custom orders. Please let me know if you click over to Resign's shop and make a purchase. I enjoy supporting online artists. xxoo

elements of a beautiful home

There's nothing more beautiful than a home filled with art. Large paintings, organic and sculptural elements. In fact, furniture is not as important as art in my humble opinion. But clutter won't do. Below I wrote about the home of Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy of Dinosaur Designs. Their home is a perfect example in living with art. I'm so inspired by their home, I thought we should take a look at some of the elements making it up. Let's break it down, shall we?

Olsen and Ormandy's have added the most wonderful white organic elements to their decor. The legged ceramic piece is by Dedece and the piece to the right is vintage Murano glass. Very expensive.
Stephen Ormandy's work is too fab.

Their home also boasts some work by another fab, geometric painter, Gemma Smith. Images via Design Boom.



Pure chair porn. They have a Fresh Fat chair by Tom Dixon.

Dinosaur Designs make the most wonderful resin pieces (but horribly expensive). I love resin. I love the installation pieces, and that last pic is a doll house design! My Barbie's home never looked that good! Just goes to show you what creative artists can do with their home, especially when money is no object. But how do those of us with limited budgets create an environment like this? No worries, dear readers, over the next few days I will show you how.
