{for the love of color}

i stumbled across this site last night and it was LOVE at first click! design-seeds was exactly what i needed to boost myself out of my design slump. with four major deadlines looming in the not so distant future, none of my normal tricks were working. i would gaze at the computer blankly for hours on end. i am going to ahead and blame on this crazy atlanta heat wave. i am however a northern girl at heart and even after the being in the she south for 12 years, i still can't adjust to the summers - i turn to mush! finally, in my haze, i discovered something that made me snap out of it. design-seeds.com is clean, fresh, organic, and full of color. just the motivation i needed to get the creative juices flowing. let's hope it is enough to get me through the weekend and so i can cross some items off the to-do list! with the fan blowing on my desk and a large glass of my grandma's meadow tea in hand, i am back to the sketch pad!

just love these colors!!

{inspiration}

Last week, I shared the A Fresh Bunch Blog about where as an artist our ideas come from. As Lori says in her blog, ideas can hit you when you are least expecting it. Now that the inkSpotts 2011 Designs are ready to hit the market, I thought that I would share my design board. It's a collaboration of things that have inspired me to hit

the drawing board.

Ideas come from: a trip to the farm, a visit from nature, an afternoon shopping with the girls at Atlanta's White Provisions District, a Friday morning in Lancaster's Central Market, a bountiful garden, an old apron in Grandma's kitchen, www.pinterest sets my head spinning or an inspiring chat from a creative friend. Some of my best thoughts come while on a long run or in the shower (the only peace a mother of a 16 month gets ;D

If your a creative person, where does your inspiration come from?

Stay tuned to see the final products of our 2011 Spring Line!!!

it started with a small canvas painting and it grew, and grew, and grew until our inkSpotts designs covered every nook and cranny of this now one-of-a-kind nursery. it was a fun and challenging project working on a MUCH larger medium that what we are used to. the room went from a plain khaki square to an enchanted place where it looks like a story book has come to life. a perfect place for the two year old's imagination to run wild.

we would love to help you turn one of your rooms into a little something special, for a free consultation contact us at info@theinkspott.com. we would love to start customizing your space!
