Tutorial Tuesday: DIY Paper Flowers

I spotted this too-simple-to-be-true tutorial by Dozi Design yesterday and though you all might enjoy it.

{DETAILS}
1. Draw a spiral on a 4x4" square sheet of paper
2. Cut out spiral along the lines you have drawn
3. Begin rolling up the spiral from the outside
4. Keep on rolling until there is no more left to roll
5. You're done.

After you've busted out a few of these to pretty up your home or cubicle, check out the rest of Dozi Design's flickr page, and then mosey on over to her blog... and finally her etsy shop (where you will find the loveliest paper goods imaginable).{All images - Dozi Design}

Inspired Artist: Ophelia Chong

Ophelia Chong takes the mundane (scraps of paper, discarded magazines, etc.) and with a razor blade and glue she created these breathtakingly beautiful collaged works for a series she's titled Slips of Paper.  I can't get enough of them!

Inspired Homes

I received an email this morning, introducing me to House To Home, a (new to me) website featuring content from some of our favorite home & garden magazines. 

The beauty of this site is it's easy to navigate pages and full-sized images (because doesn't it drive you nuts when you're looking for inspiration online and all you find is tiny thumbnail views of pretty spaces)!  Take a moment to visit... I'm sure you'll find a wealth of ideas to inspire your day! {LINK} xox Ez
