Gold leaf has been found in hair and make-up on the Fashion Week runways as of late. Realistic for the everyday human? Probably not. But art, beauty, and fashion don’t need to be realistic, just inspiring. I am pretty inspired by Honestly WTF taking this high-end trend and making it accessible.
The Design Pages took DIY gold leaf to a new level with this gold leaf canvas. What a big and bold statement piece for a room that needs a splash of design!
Oh Happy Day makes me want to throw a party!
Lovely Indeed shows an excellent idea for personalizing a simple piece of furniture by adding a bold design with this DIY Union Jack dresser
Design Sponge does it again with a sweet DIY project to capture a papercut memento of something you love. Like a watertower to represent your favorite city or the silhouette of a puppy that you just adore.
The Glamourai is all about high-end beauty, and that lush look is present in her innovative project DIY Tumbling Block wall art.
Tapigami came to Maker Faire Bay Area last year with a gorgeous fantasy cityscape installation, made entirely of tape! (The wall behind it was wire coat hangers covered in fabric.) The Sacramento artist behind Tapigami, Danny Scheible, and his crew were also on-site (along with rolls and rolls of tape) to show Faire-goers how to make their own Tapigami sculptures. It was a huge hit. Buy your tickets for Maker Faire Bay Area 2013 today to get our special Early Bird discount prices!
