Showcasing beautiful and realistic faux florals from Factory Direct Craft  Coral roses candle holder by Di's Studio Designs. I’m often guilty of not sharing “inside” information about my design process. Like many artists, I keep my inspiration close to the vest. I also get so caught up in creating while working on projects that sharing the behind-the-scenes stuff is not even on my radar! So today I thought I’d pull back the curtain—just a tad—to give you a sneak peek into what inspires me and the supplies that help me realize my finished pieces. I recently became an affiliate of Factory Direct Craft (FDC), and am stoked to start sharing some of the supplies I have been using for many years. FDC has a wide selection of unique fabric florals and faux greenery, and I love that this selection allows me to create whimsical floral designs for my online shop. The crafty people among you may already follow me on my social media platforms (if not there are convenient icons at the end of this post for you to click…hint, hint!) and may have seen my finished faux floral designs. In the spirit of sharing, this article will highlight some of the FDC florals I have used in my favorite spring and summer floral designs and candle holders. So let’s get to it!

Guest post by Kim G.  Artificial Flowers by Andrii, Adobe Stock. Throwing a party? Planning a wedding? You know decorations are a big deal. They set the scene and make your event feel special, but picking them out can be stressful! Here's the good news: creating amazing decorations doesn't have to be hard. In fact, you can use some cool fake flowers to make your event space look fantastic! We're talking about faux flowers, not real ones. That means they're made to look real, but they last longer and come in all sorts of fun colors and styles.  Celtic Mother's Knot Wood-burned Plaque by Di's Studio Designs. Are you new to wood burning?
If you are an artist or crafter who wants to create wood-burned art but doesn’t know what supplies you’ll need, this article is for you! Below is a list of tools, safety equipment, cleaning materials, accessories, and how-to books for those new to the art of pyrography. This should give you a better idea of what you will need for your projects so you can start with confidence! Embrace the elegance and collegiate charm of Light Academia with these Amazon decor finds.  Images from Amazon.com. Click the links below to view or purchase. Anyone who hasn’t been hiding under a rock lately knows Dark Academia is having its day! The timelessness of the decor never goes out of style, even when trends change. The one drawback of Dark Academia is that it is…well…DARK!
If you love the Academia vibe with its focus on collegiate accents, nostalgia, traditional elegance, aristocratic sensibilities, and hints of world travel but don’t love the heaviness of the dark furnishings consider Light Academia. Use lighter colors on the walls, fabrics, and furniture with a few carefully selected dark pieces for contrast to achieve the same Old World charm without the brooding masculinity associated with Dark Academia. Are you interested in Light Academia but need some inspiration to get started? Then you’re in luck! I scoured our favorite online marketplace—Amazon—to find 20+ home accents and furnishings you will love! |
