truebluemeandyou: “I Am Who They Were” Necklace by Artist Ashley Gilreath 2011. Reblogging because I am going to make this on a much smaller scale by using dollhouse frames/bezels and taken apart lockets (I could also make the frames by making a polymer clay mold). I would then print out photos on transparency paper (which I use all the time in my collages). *Another cheap gift idea I’ve done - print out a high contrast black and white photo on transparency paper and use neon green, white, or whatever color you want to back it with.
“I Am Who They Were” Necklace by Artist Ashley Gilreath 2011. Read the history behind this amazing piece and see more photos at Ashley Gilreath here. This has been all over Tumblr without attribution. Ms. Gilreath created this necklace by casting dollhouse frames in silver and bronze and printing family portraits directly onto microscope glass.

My sister looks good in low or drop waists because she is long and lean. I look rather awesome in a sheath because I have a traditional hour glass figure.
NOBODY looks good in a yoke…sorry.

DIY Perler Beads Inspiration from CMYBacon here. Perler beads are plastic beads that you put on a pegboard and then iron them to fuse them together. And did I say cheap? A whole bucket of 6,000 with pegboards runs about $9 at amazon (no affiliate links). They also have glow in the dark Perler beads. *Also go to the link to see recreated famous painting.

DIY Inspiration: Travel Posters with Simple Personal Icons. From Graphic Designer Thomas Lowry from his Flickr Photostream here. *I’ve blown up a few and inserted them into the bottom left corner to show you ones like the raincoat on the London Poster which maybe you can see in the high res option.

DIY Inspirtion from the Artist Christian Marclay. His collages incorporate record covers and print media of all types. Lots more incredibly bizarre “I can’t take my eyes off of it” collages (which I love). More art and info on artist Christian Marclay from Droll Girl here.

I found a cool Chrome extension that creates a color pallet out of any picture online! This is going to be fun to use. I find I’m drawn to things that have certain colors in them but when I try to make something, I can’t remember which combinations I liked the best.
Click through to get it too!
Truebluemeandyou: Really cool extension. Works like search by image by google extension (my absolute favorite) where you right click on an image. It creates 16, 24, 32 and then custom (up to 64) color swatches from the image you’ve clicked on. Thanks for posting this!

DIY Zip Tie Lampshade. This looks like it could be for sale in a gallery - go to site for more photos. Buy a cheap shade and then get the other supplies like zip ties at Home Depot (I bought a huge pack of ties at Costco). Because you are spray painting the ties, the colors and gradients are limitless. Tutorial from A Little Glass Box here.
