(Tw)inspiration
While waiting for a pretty significant writer’s block to clear up, I thought a dip into my Twitter stream might help refresh me a bit. Even though it is against the general “how-to’s” of Twitter, I have focused my following to design, marketing and artistic tweeps— so that the noise doesn’t become too overwhelming. Well, lo and behold: when I really focused, some great new, inventive and interesting ideas and products revealed themselves. And, miraculously, the writer’s block vanished.
Below is a selection of some “twinspirational” Twitter finds.
@LadyFabrics (visit their website): Gorgeous, 100% natural, sustainable, biodegradable fabrics.
A wide array of colors from Lady Fabrics
@Alluminare (visit their website): Fully customizable fabric, wallcovering, pendants, lamps, pillows and so much more! Wonderfully interactive.
Fully customizable lampshades and more on Alluminare's website
@tracyhiner (visit the website) This is NOT your average wallpaper, it’s Art, and yes, with a capital A!
Two examples of Black Crow Studios' artful designs
@modernica (visit the website): Uber-cool furnishings that would make the Jetsons’ swoon.
Ultra modern chairs from modernica.
@HomeDecorNews (visit the website): A lot of something about a lot of everything for the design industry, from the DIY-ers to professionals.
@myperfectcolor (visit the website): Anything and everything you would ever want to know about Benjamin Moore paint.
The moral of the story: inspiration comes from many sources, Twitter being only one of many!
