Life Lately and Logos

The last month has passed me by...I am slowly becoming a hermit, it is in my DNA, and I need to be pulled out of my shell!

Hopefully the sun will start shining and I can begin to grow again, rather than wilt! I need sunshine, I need flowers blooming, I need lighting bugs, and the sound of cicadas to inspire me. The new London Target line is not enough to get me going!

Check out the first logo proof for KC FunRaisers...the crescent moon is an internationally recognized symbol of faith...The moon is known as governing the female principles of instincts, moods, tides, mystery, receptivity, feminine strength. It's all about stillness and darkness. A deeper look suggests however that the moon is the embodiment of the Divine, from which everything comes, even the masculine.

A crescent moon is in itself a symbol of transition and transformation as the moon moves through its cycles.

The Sun will Come Out Tomorrow, Tomorrow...Maybe the lyrics can inspire me, I can only hope.
 
 
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar

That tomorrow

There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about

Tomorrow

Clears away the cobwebs,

And the sorrow

'Til there's none!

When I'm stuck a day

That's gray,

And lonely,

I just stick out my chin

And Grin,

And Say,

Oh

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow

Come what may

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow!

I love ya

Tomorrow!

You're always

A day

A way!

About

I am a local designer who loves trinkets and treasures, bling and baubles, the vintage and victorian, and anything with pearls and lace. I am inspired by black and white photos, old greeting cards, fashion, Paris/London, Frida Kahlo, Steinlen, and my family. I have inherited the gift of creativity from the wonderful women in my life, my mother whose vision is never ending, my grandmother whose soft and gentle touch puts just the right finish on a project, my sister whose words are never ending, my daughter and nieces with their pure outlook on life. Thank you for the gifts and visions that you share and inspire me to be the best designer that I can be. Thats me(Therese)on the left, the designer and owner of Fanciful Notations. I love to share my ideas with you. I work hard to create beautiful prints and creations that will leave an impression on the mind of those who are on the receiving end. Enjoy and remember to dance as if no one is watching.
