inspired by . Montrose Birds

Daily PONDspiration [for well-designed birds of a feather}… Photographer Sharon Montrose has such an incredible eye and skill with capturing the inspiration in animals. Here style has such a sparse, but whimsical quality! I love these two from her birds collection because of the exquisite textures and patterns that take center stage. Don’t miss her full catalog of prints at The Animal Print Shop.

inspired by . Well-drawn Closet

Daily PONDspiration [for the well-drawn closet}… Take a look at these great illustrations of fashion accessories by Jenny Mortsell from Line – A Journal, No. 6. It’s an inspired and unexpected approach to showing products that are usually all photos and glitz. The intricate illustrations become little jewels hovering over the background textures. Nice.

Line – A Journal is an intriguing quarterly online magazine focused primarily in fashion with art, design, film and people-watching sprinkled in. It always sports some great photo styling!
