non-polaroid polaroid.

I love a good Polaroid photo. They are so fun and quirky. I love when they have discolorations and maybe you’re not even sure what the picture is of, it’s like a game! Recently I’ve been very into the idea of using the outline of a Polaroid for the frame of an illustration. You may have noticed that from the attempt at a Valentine’s Day card and my List Book. I’m really inspired by so many artists on Etsy who really took that idea and ran with it. I think it gives a simple image so much character!

What's your favorite non-Polaroid Polaroid?

Etsy Art Inspirations.

Recently I've been itching to start painting again. I've been having trouble getting started, one of the reasons was I couldn't really get to my supplies. They were tucked away under a ton of... stuff in our closet. Maybe that was just an excuse, but no more! I cleaned the closet out yesturday and I can happily get to everything I need!

I have to say surfing around on Etsy always inspires me to paint and create. There are so many artists that really inspire me to pick up a paint brush and just go for it! I wanted to share them with you, maybe you'll get the painting bug too!

tascha One of the reasons I love Tascha's art so much is her youtube videos. She records herself painting and plays it in fast motion. It's so interesting to watch. She also has some other really cute tutorials and videos. Check her YouTube out here: time with tacsha.

I can only hope that I can aspire to be as talented as these artists. Practice makes perfect! So, what am I doing blog?! I should be painting! I'll be updating you on my progress.

Happy Monday!!!
