inspired by: {Anna Willi-Highfield}







I've recently stumbled upon something that inspires me so much I can barely contain myself. Meet Anna Willi-Highfield, sculptor and artist based in Sydney, Austrailia. {she's so cute...i die}Her paper sculptures of animals are so incredible- I can't wait to take a shot at making some. She creates the animal sculptures from archival cotton paper, that is painted and then sewn together, to create the figure of an animal. I am particularly giddy over the owls! Enjoy!

What is your favorite thing to do in San Diego? I LOVE going to the beach in Point Loma. Nothing finer than laying in the sand and staring out at the skyline with the sail boats. So relaxing.
What is your favorite San Diego restaraunt? I am going to go with El Camino on this one. AMAZING design/decor and fresh mexican goodness. Mmm.
What is your favorite song right now? I can't stop listening to anything by the Black Keys. But, Toot It & Boot is competing with them at the moment. That song is just a real classic.

What blog do you check out daily? i love design sponge. i also am a frequent www.bjonesstyle.wordpress.com stalker.
What's your favorite thing about Courtney? I pretty much love how weak she is. she'll pretty much do anything for a back scratch. her love for chain restaraunts. she's got some pretty sneaky humor too- it creeps up on you. and i also love that fact that she will "beat" you in anything. most competitive woman i know. guess that's more than one favorite thing...
Why are you excited about doing this blog with Courtney? I think we'll balance eachother out a lot. we work well together. she also makes me laugh super hard so at least it will be entertaining. she'll bring a different edge- where i'm more into the arts, she's got a love for pop culture and can keep things fresh.
What is the one thing you want readers to know about you? i am just so excited to start this blog. i want it to be a document of my year 25, and a place where i can get out some of my creative energy! i hope it inspires people to embrace the little things of life.
