Ana Somnia : Enter Her Dreamworld

“In our dreams, lie childish figures, random shapes and half remembered memories. Each one is different yet somehow the same.”

Pink Jeans

I'm ready for something daring. A bold statement, a fresh eccentric piece. I've been thinking about getting deep pink jeans for weeks. I am slightly considering lighter shades. I'm still not sure if I can pull it off. I'm definitely going to get one, i'm just not sure when. So at the moment, i'm just going with the flow since I haven't seen any pink jeans here. Still, inspirations are always lovely to admire, a cup of tea if you will.

Something I stumbled upon (via stumbleupon.com really ) and took my breath away at first sight. I wonder how he does it.

Illustrator, engraver and painter based in Madrid, Gabriel Moreno produces such stunning works of art using only basic materials : a pen and brush.

Lovely Simple DIY Projects

I've found so many wonderful DIY tutorials and websites the past few days and I wanted to share them with you. Most of these I've been considering to make them myself for my own room but I've got plenty school assignments I haven't gotten around to complete yet.

1. Dreamcatchers

Mini ones are great as handmade gifts. Bigger ones are a great touch to make your room get that unique touch of je ne sais quoi. Plus, you can decorate 'em ANYway you want ! Use different string colors, different beads and shells. They're even good for hanging earrings and necklaces. Else, you could just use it for it's main purpose - catching bad dreams. :)

At first I thought they were really complicated but it's actually doesn't seem so much now. The first tutorial below used a bangle and it hit me that this is actually not hard at all ! Ofcourse, for bigger ones you'd have to use a different base but I'm sure any firm round piece will do great ! :)

Here are the tutorials I've found : -

- College Life DIY featuring Rachel Rice

- Nativetech.org

2. Ribbon-Bracket Shelves

Aren't they just darling ? You can choose your own ribbon colors, add cool pins to it and it's only a 3-step tutorial. Perfect for people who like it simple.

Here's the tutorial from Martha Stewart - tutorial

3. Catch-All Shelf

I find this peculiarly interesting and creatively functional. This is a great project if you've got a wooden magazine holder and you're thinking about giving it new life. Maybe add some decoupage to make it look more.. funky ?

Here's the tutorial on DesignSponge.

4. Chalkboard Paint

Everytime I see a tutorial on making chalkboard paint, I get so excited and bookmark 'em right away. I definitely think chalkboard paints are so creative and make a brilliant touch to any room be it on walls, tables or jars ! Buying them at stores cost a pretty penny and they've only got two colors, so why not go DIY? They're so simple to make and you can use any color under the sky and beyond.

Here are lovely ideas on using chalkboard paint by Care2.com

5. Boho-chic Flannel Lanterns

These are so pretty, and you can decorate them to your own unique style with beads, sequins, fabrics and rhinestones. I love the detailings <3 Imagine the shiny sequins and beads reflecting lights all over your room. :)

Here's the video tutorial !
