// WHAT Women Create & More...

More magazines! And so much to love about them -- the flush of colours, designs, and learning about new creatives and what they love doing behind-the-scenes, and in their small scale or larger business. I discovered this new-to-me mag recently (while in the checkout line, as usual), and was instantly inspired. Preview uploaded for some weekend surfing pleasure. Click within the cover image to see more... :) Happy Friday, and have a relaxing weekend. ~xx

 

// And That's Just Lovely!

Congratulations to Miss Jamaica World 2019, Toni-Ann Singh, now Miss World 2019. May you do wonderful things for the world as we enter a new decade. With her parents, and this hilarious moment with Miss Nigeria World. :) More here.

// Emily Carriere: "The Viewer Decides..."

Toronto based artist Emily Carriere, creates gorgeous depth-provoking mixed media on circular plexiglass with resin art pieces, and in a variety of dimensions. It's easy to see the love of the blues here too. :) Working intuitively, and allowing the process of combining organic and symmetrical forms manipulated through technology to have their own independent flow, viewers are pulled into each abstract image to interpret as they choose from their own relatable life experiences and memories. I love her curious play of space and colour to evoke a mood that summons the observer to delve further... More gorgeousness here and also here. Desk paperweights? Yes, please. More favourites after the jump... 

// Benjamin Everett: Hybrid Landscapes

Hello Monday! Landscapes you can sink your total self into for a full-on "Ahhh" moment. :) Welcome to the world of Benjamin Everett, where years of faraway travels and his genuine love for the unfettered wilderness, meet photography and paint to create lush and luxuriously unique hybrid landscapes. I was stopped in my rushy tracks on the way home recently by the photo below and the word, 'Poof' automatically left my lips. And then I wanted to know more, so made a U-turn, and stepped inside to quench my curiosity. Thrilled to discover Benjamin's work with our oceans too, (and now thinking Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2020-- fingers crossed blue be blue be beautiful blue, with a touch of smokey sophistication), he has incorporated the elements of creative play to immerse the inner self in a sea of calm, peaceful wonderment, and soothing balance, away from the bombarding heaviness of real world events facing us all in current times. Every bit dreamy, and every bit a reminder to allow our naturescape moments to be the gift and 'magic' they are meant to be... Enjoy more here.

// And That's Just Lovely!

Have you seen this funny video Guys? It made me laugh, instantly, when I first saw it a couple months ago while away from the blog-- and I'm still laughing... A Vancouver man dances through the crosswalk strutting his stuff, carry-bag and all. Indeed, he has the right-of-way. :) More smiles for our Monday after the jump... Good morning! and have a great week everybody.
