In My Head: Ocean Creatures

 Once again, I am carrying thoughts and visions in my head of a specific nature. I like writing these "In My Head" articles, because it allows my brain to let go of these recurring thoughts. Sorry to be using all of you for my own therapy;)
My eye is caught by the organic and strange shapes of ocean creatures. They're so mysterious and beautiful! Actually, when I was a little kid; I used to read everything I could about ocean life. Now, I wonder how these shapes can be reinterpreted into furnishings and jewelry, too!

First, I found these colorful anemone bowls made by Element Clay Studio. Wouldn't a collection of these spiny creatures light up any room?

 The nesting scallop bowls can be placed on their backs to use as bowls, or turned upside down to make an ocean inspired sculpture.

 I am REALLY loving the idea of ocean creature shapes as jewelry! The organic texture is very cool. Check out these rings by Happy Go Licky!

In My Head: Origami

Once Upon A Time

While in school, I remember making silly little origami sculptures. I never understood the point, so I soon forgot all about them. Recently, that has changed. I can't stop thinking about the art of origami and its simple beauty. There is something so profound about a sheet of paper coming to life with just a few folds. I love it!

Just to clarify, origami is a lot more than paper cranes. I've been exploring this ancient art and have discovered that there is a whole culture of origami artists. Some of their creations are mind-blowing. Me... I'm still trying to make a simple airplane that will actually fly!
