day 1 {24} HOLIDAY inspirations 2011: colorful prints & patterns

It's that time of year again...my favorite holiday season..well besides summer. If you've followed my blog, you know for the past couple of years I've done my {24} HOLIDAY inspiration blog series which highlights fun projects, photography, inspirations, mixed media ideas, artist features and creative happenings over in my studio during the holidays. So join me on during the month of December to celebrate the holidays in coloful style!Today starts with colorful prints and patterns! Every month I take creative journeys "trending" trips to discover and explore inspiration from some of my FAVE stores. Here are some of lovely bright and colorful holiday prints and patterns I discovered at Target. I especially love the santa HO HO HO paper products...it brings back 1970s memories of holiday decor at home.

ideas for using these images or your fave patterns for inspiration...

• paint your journal pages with a holiday color palette
• use the graphics to inspire your doodles
• create holiday gift tags
• take an inspiration journey & take snapshots of your fave prints/patterns
• create color swatches in your journal
• hand carve a stamp with a snowflake shape
• paint or hand print a pattern on fabric to decorate you holiday table
• create a pinterest board with holiday inspiration

happy holidays...xoxo~treiC

day 20 {holiday} INSPIRATIONS: store windows

today I went to do a holiday TRENDING trip and a little shopping at Ala Moana in Honolulu...here are a few photos of from my stroll through the crazy Christmas shopping madness...

{above} handpainted urban vinyl dolls at 808orbit - fell in love with these one-of-a-kind painted toys by various graffiti artists around the world. Here are a few of the artists~ pancho from hawaii, scribe from missouri, leecifer from cali & newKON from hawaii

 

the window at COACH - I thought it was interesting to see the gift box print is printed with the word COACH repeated in different hand drawn fonts. I noticed a lot of fuchsia, purple, blue colors and loads of embellished purses with metal charms. IDEA --->paint your own bag with or print a photo on fabric canvas then stitch it to a tote bage. Make your own gift wrap by doodling or writing words on brown or white craft paper

one of my FAVE designers and stores- Betsy Johnson

a lighted illustration inside Macy's ~ a great inspriation for doodling

 

the BRIGHT lights of LV~ louis vuitton ~ take an interesting reflection self portrait {a reflection of me & my purple scarf in the corner}

loved this Holiday Fairy decal but can't remember the store

 

it's SNOWING in Hawaii...I HEART the hand painted bird house ornaments hanging from the tree ~"warmest wishes" window at Nordstrom

another beautiful day in the 80s...happy holidays from Hawaii!

take a stroll through stores to research colors, prints, interior design and window displays for current trends and ideas for sketchbook inspiration. happy creating!
