I am just starting out as a digital artist and I have begun to create several "virtual realms", they are pretty basic. I have been combing online matte painting sites, dreamworks job boards and many many different books on matte painting. The whole "movie making" thing is so interesting to me and the digital scenery they are creating these days is unbelieveable, from sci-fi worlds to kids movies there is nothing you can't create. I thought I would include one of my projects for you to see, it is a floating world, with a floating resort situated on a forest with waterfalls. It also includes a distant universe in the background!

summer
I was thinking earlier about school starting soon and I cant believe how quickly this summer has gone by. I then ran across this picture and it just screamed summer time to me and it made me realize that even though there are only a few weeks of summer left there is still time to get out there and enjoy it.

Blue and white Thursday
I have always loved blue and white interiors, when I was in interior design school it was my favorite color palette to experiment with, and I always added touches of yellow here and there. I decided I would share pictures of some of my favorite blue and white themed rooms every Thursday on my blog. I have so many saved pictures, fabric, and wallpaper samples in my portfolio I thought it would be fun to share what i have gathered along the way for the past 7 years, enjoy!

Fun handmade finds!
I was searching the internet looking for new lines I could carry on my website, I am not sure if these vendors actually wholesale their items but I like them anyway so I thought I would share. I have been looking for a unique lamp shade for a vintage blue porcelain lamp I found tucked in the back room of an antique shop. I came across an etsy shop called sassy shades and I think her designs are adorable. I would love to have one made for it and cover it in cream or white silk. Here is the link to her ETSY store: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7101024&order=§ion_id=&page=1
I have also been on the lookout for a vintage chenillr bedspread, I think they are so cozy and comfortable to sleep under. They are perfect for warm Florida nights, and I found a site that offers exactly what i am looking for. Here is the link for the chenille bedding I found: http://www.home-decorating-co.com/chenille-bedspreads.html

Favorite cookbook
At the moment my new favorite cookbook is Lydia's Italy, she is an amazing cook and has some positively divine recipes. I especially love her recipe for Prosciutto di parma purses, you stuff large slices of prosciutto with parmesan cheese and tie them off with a long chive, then brown in a skillet. I promise they are delicious!
Another favorite is her sweet onion gratinate, you take a thin layer of onions top it off with a layer of parmigiano-reggiano and bake in the oven. She also adds a thin layer of bread under the onions and it gets crunchy in the oven and makes it easier to serve, so yummy.
