Lichenstein.

Roy Lichtenstein is another one of my favorite artists.  I really like his pop/modern art.  I think what attracts me the most to his art is that is has a comic book feel in larger than life artwork.  I like his use of black and white with basically primary colors.  He also uses dotted and striped patterns as fill for objects which gives the art another dimension.  Here are a few of my favorite pieces of his:

Mom's Cakes

So, many posts ago when I was blogging about cakes while watching Cake Boss (when I still had TLC :( boooo), I mentioned that my Mom makes pretty awesome cakes. Since as I told you, I have been going through all my old pictures on my external hard drive and found photos of a good bunch of them. So here they are!

Button Bouquets.

In my many blogs I follow, I have quite a few wedding blogs. I have seen recently a few weddings with button bouquets - yup that is right, buttons instead of flowers. An interesting twist. I think they are pretty cute and creative looking. I don't know if I would actually use them in my wedding - but it would be cool for the rehearsal maybe? They last forever unlike real flowers and could be a neat keepsake. Definitely for the "crafty-inclined" and also look fun to make. They could also be used as home decorations...hmmmm. But, buttons can get pricey unless you collect buttons or find a good deal, so that is something to thing about. Here are a few I found in a google image search:
