Inspiration: Lost and Found

Isn't this just cool!?! Love how it's set up and those assemblages are fantastic! I think I should cover my floor and walls with newspaper and just let me kids draw everywhere!! This pic is from my Anthropologie catalog. Can't get enough of that place:) The art is by artist Serge Rosenzweig. I guess the Rockefeller Center Anthropologie store will showcase a different artist every six to eight weeks. Serge Rosenzweig is first up with "Lost and Found". He is a French antiques restorer who creates collector's pieces out of iron fences and used gas tanks. Here you can see his work up close.

During Autumn, I find myself very drawn to found object art such as this. I love collecting leaves, acorns, wood, and whatever else I happend to find while walking in the woods. I love to turn them into a feast of color and texture, whether its in making art or decorating my home. It's such a tactile time. Whether it's the ooze of the innards of a pumpkin slipping through your fingers while you're carving a scary face, the bumps on the outside of a gourd, the dry crunching of the leaves or the crisp, tart bite of an apple. There are also such amazing colors seen all around. I find it very inspiring!!!
