I couldn't wait to share these absolutely stunning watercolor pieces by Swedish artist and illustrator Stina Persson. Her sense of color and white space are phenomenal, with organic shapes growing out of the human form. Thanks to a good friend of mine for sending Stina's name my way... I'm feeling totally inspired by her work this week. Which is perfect, because as I'm looking out my window, all I see is white snow and a whole lot of slush.

pantone cookies!

I wish I could say that I baked these, but alas I cannot. Kudos to Kim Neill on this genius gift that she gave to her clients; brightly colored cookies in a coordinating Pantone 196 C Tin! She even provides directions and a recipe so you can make them yourself.

The Pantone Matching System sets standards for color-matching in the printing industry. It's not only an essential tool for any designer who is serious about what they do, but it's become an icon in the industry as well. Oh, how we love our Pantone chips! I've shared a few of my favorites below.

Have a colorful day!
