\"Melissa<\/a>Onto more thoughts of Spring. We had a perfect Spring day yesterday but today we are in the middle of a blizzard, so I went off to find something cheerful and found some\u00a0fun sculptures, wall art, and jewelry by Melissa Terlizzi.<\/a> Her creatures are beautifully sculpted, but it’s the situations she puts them in that really made me smile. This here is not the most unusual place to find a tree frog but it would kind of startle you to find one on your indoor plants. She also has frog peeking out of terrariums, mice in the pantry, and beetles in books. There is a bright playfulness in the faces of her creatures and in the way she sets up the shots.\u00a0Many of her compositions, like this one here, are predominantly constructed from polymer clay components, but many others use natural settings and common household items to bring out the story.<\/p>\n

Take a break from your common or gray day and peruse\u00a0her Flickr pages<\/a> for some Spring cheer.<\/p>\n

Inspirational Challenge of the Day:<\/strong>\u00a0Create or adapt a piece of yours to live in an unusual place. Hang charms in the kitchen cupboards, replace blind pulls with beautiful focal beads, put a cute sculpted creature in the medicine cabinet (who doesn’t need a bit of cheer when opening the medicine cabinet?), \u00a0glue tiles to the inside of the mailbox \u00a0door, etc. Look for the most unusual and surprising place that will delight your family and visitors.<\/p>\n
