art to inspiration | smita jacob

this is the july 2012 art to inspiration. we take inspiration from an amazing piece of art and translate it into something new - a graphic, an outfit, a collage or more art! if you would like to be a part of this once a month club, sign up here.

this month's art piece - photographs by smita jacob of healing yoga with aarti really grabbed me with it's  colours and surprise factor (yoga in the snow on an ice rink??). while i don't do yoga, i connected with the image. i know the harbourfront where this was shot because i'm from the greater toronto area. i also liked the very calm and relaxed atmosphere vs. the fire of her outfit. i wanted to create something with a similar feeling!

i have a yogi friend named shawna and she gave me a beautiful set of stamps awhile ago. i never made anything for her using them so this seemed like the perfect excuse! red envelopes with beautiful embossed indian inspired images....
