greatest hits: with nesta

what inspires you artistically & creatively? what would those inspirations look like visually? in this fun series, (please see the others here) ... i’ve invited some wonderful artists to share with us 4 images of inspiration in their artistic life, something of an interview in images! the guidelines were basically this: choose 4 visuals (something like your creative-stimuli *greatest hits!*) that you feel most inspires & expresses your art or craft today. for some, it might be a person, place or thing; a material; a pattern; a colour; a sound or song, etc. it might be a photograph, a drawing, a scan, etc. i’ve tried to leave it a bit open-ended so that we might better glimpse into these artists' motivations and their amazing, raw talent! today i’m delighted to present the next in the series: greatest hits!

...............................................................

ever come across a spot online that just seems to inspire it's own funky soundtrack?
i feel that way when i'm visiting the fabulous shop of Nesta Home. designer & artist Tandie's handmade interiors just have this wonderful vibe to them.

it's fresh. unique. urban. and like any good soundtrack... helps me envision a whole new landscape
(in this case.. for my home!)

you can learn more about the genius behind Nesta Home, the wonderful Tandie, here, in her Quit Your Day Job interview on Etsy. and be sure to visit her wonderful shop for mixed media delights, sketches, photographs & more. and you'll love her fun blog, too!

and now...here's a glimpse into what's inspiring Tandie, in her own words, with her own lovely photos:


Traveling because it takes you out of your comfort zone.

Nature because no manmade design can ever match it.



Architecture because every detail must be thought out.

Athletes because they are artists in motion.

thanks so much, sweetie! hope your day has a great soundtrack to it.
