NEW FABULOUS & DAZZLING!

You'll never believe how TRES COOL & CHIC the newest "thing" from Divas D'Este is!

Diva De has outdone herself again and is making amazing fabric covered, crazy quilted, exquisitly adorned cuff bracelets! (They even have fabric on the inside of the cuff!) I have already grabbed one of them for myself I LOVE them so much!

She put so much time into these it's crazy! All the adornments you see are hand done and, she's used some of Divas D'Este's fabulous images on fabric!

They are so new ... I'm not sure if she even has a name for these beauties yet!

They will be on our website or etsy soon (I'll blog again and let you know which...) however, if you just can't wait... drop us an email at divasdeste@yahoo.com and I'm sure we can arrange to get one right out to you!

We hope you LOVE these as much as we do!

Peace, Love and Art!

Illustration Friday!

In addition to playing with my favorite new little translation thingy... I have been trying to get back into "doing" art on a regular basis... I have started a new little series of mixed media collages, (which I will start posting as soon as I'm finished with the first one...out of seven) however, I have been toying with the idea of joining the fray at Illustration Friday, and this week I plan to take on the theme for the very first time!

The theme for this week is "Magnify" ~ Should be a fun theme to tackle ~ don't you think?

If you are feeling stuck, uninspired or full of artistic greatness... I suggest you join the fun! You can find their fantistic blog by clicking on the words "Illustration Friday" above or on their lovely little link below!

Create & Enjoy!

Translation Party!

I found this really fun and cool site called "Translation Party"! You put in any phrase you like in English and the site translates it to Japanese and back again until you get a really funny translation! ~ An ode to Google translation which isn't always so accurate! ;)

I put in one of my favorite sayings: "Well behaved women rarely make history!" and this is what I got...

well behaved women rarely make history

into Japanese: よく女性の行儀のほとんど歴史を作る

back into English: Most of the well-behaved women make history well

back into Japanese: よく女性の行儀のほとんどは歴史を作る

back into English: Most well-behaved women make history

back into Japanese: 最もよく女性の歴史を作る行儀

back into English: Best-behaved women make history

back into Japanese: 最高の女性の歴史を作る行儀

back into English: Best-behaved women make history

Equilibrium found!
You've done this before, haven't you.

See? It's a hoot! Try it yourself on your own favorite phrase!
