Press: Style at Home
Photo by Donna Griffith. Interior Design by Carol Reed.
Three of my silkscreen prints (S is for swing, Alphabet legs + abc typewriter) appear in the home office of real estate agent Kara Reed in the lastest issue of Style at Home magazine. Fun fact: Kara Reed is Sarah Richardson's Real estate agent + advisor on HGTV's show "Sarah's house". Neat. I had no idea Kara had three of my prints.
(Thanks to my decor women Kim + Margot for letting me know about this article. They are always on top of everything. :-))
Alphabet legs print
Because the photo looks terribly blurry in blogger* (GRRR) I've included some close ups of the prints from my own archive above + below.
S is for swing print
Big ps! The workspace article also includes the cheerful DIY home office below of Jennifer Flores + Sean Stanwick of Rambling Renovators.
Their space contains an ingenius IKEA hack that totally impressed me: An Expediet shelf turned into wallmounted cubbies! Isn't that great?
Gee.... sure would love to get some hacked Expediets mounted over here at Chez Alanna! SIGH.
Man this is a good quote.
People who can focus, get things done. People who can prioritize, get the right things done.

Some experiments with pastel + collage
I've been experimenting with pastel and collage the past 2 weeks.
I find this medium and technique is helpful for warming up.
(The fat tulips + bridge shapes are influenced by Lucienne Day + Marion Mahler)
I love the effect one gets from cutting out shapes with scissors. They usually have a nice unplanned vibe to them which I like. (I learned this from Paul Rand and Martin Haake)
Above a repeat pattern I created from the leaf part of one of the red collages.
Might make a groovy wallpaper?
