swooning

Friday, September 11th, 2009

In my travels tonight I discovered two fabulous links.

1 is for the Artist Kelly Vivanco whose work is simply dreamy.
I am enthralled with her palette of colors so much red, black and white and her sense of light and the way she does eyes as well as her use of spirals, loving all of it!

The other link which I found through Kelly’s site is a show for
Kokeshi Dolls which has had 3 different exhibits one of traditional ones, and 2 done by contemporary artists! The ones that
really diverge from the traditional are especially exciting to me. The Japanese American National Museum has a bunch of custom dolls for sale some of which are still available.

Oh there are so many glorious and beautiful things to see in this world and I need to go to sleep so I can wake up to see and make more tomorrow!
