Top Shop: Inspiration and Perspiration

Become Who You Really Are by LPJewelry

Sometimes I am uninspired. There, I said it, the great Tracey does not always have an idea what the next project should be. While it is good to take some time to clear your head, it is also good to know there are resources out there you may not know about to find inspiration. Here are a list of some of my faves, you may or may not have heard of:


Craft: A magazine turned online community; full of projects, patterns, and ideas. Coined "The Martha Stewart for Geeks" by Newsweek.


Craftbits.com A reader contributed craft blog out of Australia, created to share ideas with teachers, therapists and craft enthusiasts.


Design*Sponge More about design then craft, this blog covers trends in interior decorating. Great place to see how people are using color in their homes, ways to hang art and creative storage.


Core77 Hardcore industrial design website. I love to look at the sketches for the ideas and the "out there" items that may take years to come to market.


The Dieline All about package design. Go here to look for creative ways to sell your work just through creative use of type and a label.


Poppytalk a true design inspiration blog. Based in Canada, this blog is dedicated to promoting handmade and vintage
