what do you do?

Our good blogging friend Miss Joni just finished The Zookeeper's Wife. And she was so inspired by it she created this:

Please visit her blog to see more pictures of this piece and more about the book. Definitely adding this book to my list.

What do you do when you are inspired by a book?

to this:

green and light blue UNION JACK CUSHION  from karen hilton's etsy shop.

The Art of Words

I can't remember where I found this website, but it rocks.  The idea of 20x200 is this - each week they post 2 new limited edition prints in various sizes and prices -  200 at $20, 20 at $200 and 2 at $2000. All in the name of affordable art.

I stumbled upon this site too late to get this for the $20. But I checked out the artist's website here. My front entry wall could use a giant installation like this (click through to the today/tomorrow collection) - it would beautifully satisfy my desire to be completely surrounded by books.

Enjoy.

The End.
