Art through Video

This is one of the coolest examples of an old form of art being expressed in a new way through media. Graffiti and mural art has been around for a long time, but this video takes it to a whole new level! I find this video very inspiring and it makes me want to draw in a very free and unformed way because you never know how one thing could lead to the next!

New Yoga Mat Bags!

This weekend I was feeling particularly creative and motivated to sew some new things! I got a new yoga mat a few weeks ago and haven't had anything to carry it in, so I wanted to whip up something that would hold my sticky mat, and look funky and stylish while I'm at it!

I wanted to come up with my own yoga bag design, so I didn't bother to look up a pattern, I just took some measurements, went out to the fabric store to see what materials I could use, and a few stitches and seam rips later, I was really happy with what I came up with! In fact, I was so happy with my own, I made 3 more to sell in my Etsy Shop, Lynse & Fancy.




Get yours before they are gone!

Confessions of a Handmade Shopaholic

It's time again to show off one of my recent purchases of handmade fancy! Owls are so trendy right now, not to mention so cute, so when I was recently redoing my bedroom, I knew I wanted to get one of these super cute, retro-style owls from The Runny Bunny, the shop of ceramic artist, Robin Van Valkenburgh.


In fact, I was lucky enough to get 2 of Robin's lovely little owls!


These little owls look great in my new bedroom, and in my living room! Robin makes these ceramic figures from "very old" ceramic hobby molds, so they have the real authentic vintage feel to them. And for those of you who are a little more adventurous and maybe even a little... off the wall... you have to see Robin's mix and match versions! You can find Grandpa smurf dressed up in mom's Sunday best, the head of a bird on the body of the Easter Bunny, and more fun and wild hybrids! Run over the The Runny Bunny now!
