Artist: Sophie Blackall

Sophie Blackhall creates quirky yet graceful illustrations for children's books as well as original paintings and prints. She also does really cute illustrations based on the "funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful,hopeless, poetic" posts on the website Missed Connections. So witty and unique.See more on her blog and etsy shop.

Religious Icons

One does not have to be religious to appreciate the artistry of these beautiful religious images.I love the festive and handmade celebratory feel of the Guadelope shrines. The colors can be eye-popping or more subdued but either way I find them inspirational and lovely.I hope you do too.....
