In this course I will share my process of gathering inspiration, how I organize what I find beautiful, a printable mini workbook so you can document what you find beautiful through your five senses, the order in which I put inspiration boards together and how I use each one to guide intentions, our business and future creative work. Together we will create an intentions board, future online course board and a board to inspire a new art series. Whether you are an artist or not this course is for anyone that wants to use beauty, intention and visuals to stay intentional and focused in life and work.

The white macramé works are part of her collection titled kNOTs, which combine elements of craft, sculpture, and architecture in wearable works of art.

Hi all, So, I managed to get some pictures of the tyvek floral sculpture that I made for my art coursework project. If you don't already know (which I didn't) tyvek is a non-woven material used in building walls and things, also in C.S.I suits. When heated it goes all crinkly and melts and holes. I used this to create flowers and leaves. I was inspired by Alexander McQueens flower dress, where he had used silk flowers and real flowers. I loved the colours and the shape, and I tried to channel that into my own creation. This took a really long time. All of the petals for the flowers have to be made individually, with wire sewn around the outside, lines of embroidery sewn, then dyed, then heated, then put together with others to make the flower. It really became a labour of love! There are also stamen at the centre of the flowers, which are beads on wire. The leaves are lining the whole structure. This art piece was the one I was working on when I had the little accident with the needle and my eye (scratched cornea!) But I can honestly say, it was worth it. I took these pictures with my little digital camera (which isn't amazing quality) I am going to try to get some better ones soon :) but till then here it is... xox Niamh xox

Johnson Tsang (previously) continues to create spectacularly emotive ceramic sculptures of the human face. The Hong Kong-based artist’s latest series, Lucid Dream II, features surreal contortions that squish, wring, melt, and stretch. Titles like “Remembrance,” “Extrication,” and “Unveiled” suggest an exploration of the liminal space between the conscious and subconscious, in addition to the self and other. Tsang uses plain, unglazed clay, eschewing typical lifelike details such as color, hair, and apparel, to focus the viewer’s attention on the universally-relatable expressions of each of his imagined subjects.
