Change the scenery

Change the Scenery

I am most definitely a creature of habit and I love my little nest but it’s so important to go places you’ve never been. I need to remind myself of this more often. I took this photo in Irvine, on a trail which seems so out of place in the suburbs. It’s a nice respite. I hope you manage to find a little change of scenery this weekend— have a tiny adventure!

Tonal Tuesday: unexpected funfetti

It’s been a smidge since I’ve done one of these— mixing up the format to play with the proportions of the color. It’s not just about the individual colors but also how they balance and communicate with one another. One of the reasons color is so delightful is this silly brain dance.

Tonal Tuesday: party plum aplomb

Julie — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:15:16 +0000

Seriously feeling this crazy color scheme: plums, neutrals & a fabulous coral. This feels like a party dress with gold sparkles to me. Maybe add a few dashes of a pale turquoise for an extra zing of color?

Tonal Tuesday: crushed velvet couch of your past

There was this crazy crushed velvet couch from the 70s in my friend’s basement in Junior High. That couch saw some crazy baby teenager makeouts in it’s day. Probably makeouts from multiple generations! Well, that thought killed the mood, huh? The colors are still delightful even if the idea of parental makeouts is not!

The state in which dreamers reside, half-way floating through consciousness.
