Redbubble Round-Up: Sky

I found that I was struggling to keep up with my posting schedule so I've decided to change Redbubble Round-Up day to Saturday and also to do a post every other week.  This week the theme is "sky".

I love looking up at the stars in the night sky and Lake Tahoe Galaxy captures the magic of stargazing.

Moody, stormy skies are one of my favourite skyscapes.  I like the turbulence and play between light and dark in "Lightning In The Sky 1".

I love the whimsical quality of Terry Fan's art.  Several of his pieces feature a blend of the nautical and the astral, like this work "Ocean Meets Sky".

I was drawn to the magical quality of this next work, "Our Secret Harbor". Wouldn't you just love to be on that boat, under that starlit sky, with the lights from the clifftop dwellings twinkling as you float by?

And finally, "Praying For Rain".  I love the shade of the blue and the lone cactus silhouette against the twilit, mottled sky adds some drama.

Society Sunday

Time for another round-up of work that has caught my eye on the Society 6 website*.  First up "Midsummer Fires"by Shorsh.  I immediately fell for the glorious colour combination of pink and aqua and as I'm also a sucker for a beautiful sky, this one was a must.

Midsummer Fires - Shorsh


"Gold Geometric Pattern III" by Avalon and Aiden.  This has an Art Deco feel - a style that I've recently discovered.  The combination of gold and white along with the diamond geometric pattern is simple and elegant.  I think it looks great on curtains.

As I mentioned last week, I'm loving seahorses at the moment and with the end of winter just about in sight I'm thinking ahead to my summer holidays and the beach.  I can see myself stretching out on this beach towel by Juliana RW.

Until I found one of these seeds on a walk through the park last year, I had no idea that they could be so beautiful.  "Maple" by Claudia Drossert captures the delicacy and gentle beauty of a maple seed.  I can see this print in a minimalist setting surrounded by cool tones.  I would have it in a space that I would be in when I wanted to feel peaceful and calm.

And finally, "Wild Bouquet" by Rachel Cave.  This just makes me happy.  The folk style works beautifully with the fresh colours and captures the essence of Spring.

Head over to Society 6 to take a closer look at these pieces or to find a treasured artwork of your own.

Society Sunday

I joined Society 6 almost a year ago.  I thought that it would be nice to share some of my favourite finds, so every Sunday I'll be doing a round-up of 6 pieces that have caught my eye - hence "Society Sunday".

First up - "Rainbow Geometric Pattern #4" by Juliana RW.  I love the geometric pattern, the gold lines and the mix of warm and cool in the colour palette.  It also lends itself well to a number of different products.




I love the whimsical artwork of Terry Fan.  "Whale Rider" is just one of many magical works.  I can imagine it in a nursery or a kid's bedroom.



Sticking with the nautical theme, I'm really loving seahorses at the moment.  Maybe they'll take the place of the flamingo or unicorn as the animal of 2018.  What better product to showcase them on, than a set of bath and hand towels.



Patterns and Textures shop is full of... you guessed, patterns and textures.  "Onyx - blue and orange" caught my eye. There's something mesmerising about the combination of the various shades of blue and the textured surface.



I was drawn to the softness and simplicity in "My Summer" by Claudia Drossert.  Much of her work features a similar muted palette with simple composition and a strong focal point.



From a muted colour palette, to a neon riot! The aptly named "Neon" by Cosmic Medium is bold, punchy and full of attitude.
