I stumbled upon the most stunning prints yesterday and just had to share. These watercolors titled Green Zen I + II were inspired by Buddha hands from Tibetan sculpture and medieval European religious paintings. Graphic designer and illustrator Andrea D’Aquino of New York is the genius behind this ethereal set.

Sold as a pair and describe as one being of the woman and the other of the inside of the woman. The colors are just stunning and I love the juxtaposition of the two.

The limited edition prints are sold through The Working Proof which is a site that pairs artists with a charity of their choice, to which 15% of  sales are donated. Andrea has chosen to work with the Shama Foundation which is a nonprofit organization providing education to children of Madagascar. Find out more and purchase them here.

Hi friends! I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween weekend! My sister Laurel got married on Saturday and I needed an extra day to recover from the celebration. It’s been a crazy few weeks helping her get everything done but it turned out great and she and her husband couldn’t be happier!

Speaking of happy, Ez of Creature Comforts, just launched Gifted Magazine; an online publication featuring holiday projects, freebies and fabulous gift guides. I’ve had mixed feelings about online magazines up until now only because the format doesn’t really lend itself to web as well as I would like. But Ez has done a fantastic job with this one. Not only is it seamless while viewing, it’s also a feast for the eyes and each image links directly to the site or shop!

I can’t wait to try each of the DIY projects and I am utterly inspired for the holidays. You simply MUST check it out and be prepared for a whole lot of joy.
