Floss is Boss

Flossy Particles is the lovely name that a wonderful Australian artist refers to herself as. Her real name is Sarah, but Sarah is not quite such an "artsy" name. Flossy gives little information about herself away but I do know that she just moved from Sydney to New South Wales. What fun.

Anyway, Flossy's work is beautiful, delicious and so very sweet. My heart is screaming at me to buy a piece of her artwork just to see if it tastes as good as it looks. My head, however, isn't fond of the idea.

I would love to watch this woman work. I know that every mark is calculated and has meaning, but also is packed with hope, smiley faces and rainbows. It's crazy but I'm sure it's true. Flossy could probably pour a bucket of paint over a canvas and still illuminate my office (even through a monitor!). The picture above is incredibly crafted - the hair, the clothes, the birds, the hands...

Basically, Flossy is a talent who, although produces obviously hastily creative pieces, has a soul and spirit that transfer to the viewer like a charm. Please check out her website and support her any way you can!

Sorry this post is all over the place, I'm a little giddy today!

For Izibor...

I'm not sure about clogging up my blog with things unrelated to art, however, this is a special case. As with artworks, a song or musical composition can have a huge impact on you or no impact at all. I'm an incredibly avid music fan and love the way that one song can take you from a feeling of loneliness and desperation to a wonderful, magical place where nothing matters.

I recently came across Laura Izibor who's song "Shine" makes me feel like a new person each time I hear it. She rockets me to a positive, uplifted mood and never fails to make me stop and appreciate what I have. I won't smother you with any more, just have a listen - you won't be disappointed.



This video isn't the best quality, but it's fitting. Who cares if it's rough and ready - her music is soulful, beautiful and raw no matter what.

Peace & Love,
Dewey
