Kitsch! by SamSpice is a collection of hand-made vintage inspired products that speaks to my inner world of colour, glamour, and kitsch!


This blog works in conjunction with a Kitsch! gallery site where a larger array of products are displayed, but will be updated more regularly to provide a sneak peek into the daily-ish workings of Kitsch!

Look around and enjoy!

Flickr Favorite Monday

I've decided that Monday is going to be Flickr Favorite day.
I've been a Flickr member for almost 5 years now, and at one time I was even a "Professional Member" positing tons of pictures and being really active in commenting and posting in groups.  While I haven't had the time to keep up with that, I still <3 Flickr for the wonderful images I can find to narrative my inner worlds.
Looking through my Favorites is one of my favorite things to do!
Lately I've been using my favorites to store/save pictures that I'd like to repurpose into Kitsch! art.  I can't use half of what I've saved, but would still like to share them to show my aesthetic sensibilities. To find pictures, I have my Contacts, many of whom post pictures daily, and also go through other Groups that bring together similar pictures.
This bring me to: Flickr Favorite Mondays!


Today my Flickr Favorite is going to be an undated Walter Martin Baumhofer illustration from Sheepback.Cabin that I found yesterday.
 


I love the sexy Norman Rockwell-esque style and the confident, glowing redhead working on her own agenda.  I can't think of anyway to incorporate this into an art piece because on its own it tells a powerful story that needs no augmentation.

What do you think?
