Wish List : Everything Ombre

Tweet this!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've seen the Ombre trend taking over Pinterest. Though, I guess, you could have been living under an Ombre rock. Which would be awesome. Let's make some of those next week, kay?

What is Ombre? A gradual color change. In my days of college powerpoints, one would call that a gradient.

Also, go figure, Ombre is a 17th century Spanish card game. 'Tis true. Wickipedia says so.

Here are a few of my fave' ombre-inspired crafts and items:

Clockwise, from top left:
Faded Bowls
DIY Ombre Tablecloth
Ombre Curtains
Ombre Water Glasses
DIY Ombre Fabric Backdrop

Wish List 2.10.12

Last night, I did some experimenting with Photoshop on the train. I've been having some arrow frustrations (yes, that's a real thing!). The Photoshop arrows just... well, they suck and look like kindergarten decor (no offense, Mom). I've been dreaming of some pencil/chalk-looking swirly arrows that I could free hand in Photoshop instead of using a pre-defined arrow shape (because, let's face it, pre-defined arrows are just less fancy).

Anyways (stop snoring!), here's what I ended up with! For the Photoshop junkies out there, I'll be back in the next few days with a tutorial on those fabulously chalk-and-pencil-ified arrows!

For now, here are my three four wishes...

Pink Wayfarers from Woodzee
Chicago Skyline Wallart Mural
Knappa Lighting
Boho Fringe Bag
