House inside a Hill

This "house inside of a hill" is called 'Villa Vals' and is in Switzerland. This was built as a design solution seeing that they could not obstruct the view of the Bath of Vals located extremely near by. So why not just build into the ground? I think a winter stay here might be added to my bucket list.

Owl crazy

Since most people following me a Chi O's right now i couldnt help but share.....
i found the best owl blog ever.

MyOwlBarn

The site has so many different creative ways to make things with owls and such. great site for ideas! i think the most creative is the owl smore. simple but cute.

So Serene

These "rest nests" were posted by Black Eiffel. IM OBSESSED. I could only imagine what it would be like to nuzzle up in one of this after a long day of school!

Dream World

There is something about great photography that makes me question if some of the things captured truly exist. My friend showed me a photographer, Jeff Mitchum. His photography fits right in that catagory, making me question if we even live on the same planet.

The caption Jeff put with this picture said, "when i saw the results i thought, "monet". He would/did these surreal life places. my attempt at honoring the great master!" I think his attempt was extremely sucessful



This final image really caught my eye, not really based on the picture but on the Title, enchantment.
"a scramble over the rocks and stream to reach my position. several rain squalls later the storm broke. and light filled in at angles that created shadows accentuating the scene. enchantment was born!"


I honestly did make the title for my blog before seeing this. But everything about design is true to enchantment.. or at least my definition of it! Taking what we see to be true with our eyes and transforming things can inspire and intrigue people to a world that is not visible to most. yeah i know this is a little out there but now people might get a little more meaning out of my title than that disney movie.

Beginings

So im deciding to get this first awkward blog post over with. Im glad this thing has spell check because this would be painful to read otherwise. Im currently a graphic design major and loving every minute of it. Going to school everyday for the purpose of learning and creating makes me feel like I live in a dream world sometimes. I hope to use this as a way to inspire others as others have continually been able to inspire me.
