New Year • New Goals

     HAPPY 2018!     

At the beginning of every year I re-evaluate all my business practices and determine a plan for the rest of the year. Blogging has never been high on my list, yet it always IS on my list. 

This year I am determined to... 

1. blog more than a couple of times! 
2. have fun by talking about things I love.
3. relieve some of the pressure by changing my attitude;
   not every blog post has to be a masterpiece.
4. drop the "have to promote all the time" feeling.
5. and last, map out a schedule!

OK!
This is a good start to my new year of blogging...
short, simple, and to the point.

This post and declaration of determination
is dedicated to my mother!

Happy Easter To All from Twistmo & Starglow Studio

Have a fun, joyful, and spiritual weekend with family and friends.

Include Metallics in Your Home Decor for a Touch of Class or a Pop of Glitz

I LOVE metallics!

Gold, silver, copper... they're all beautiful. Use them to add a classy touch, or for their glitz effect in your home. Caution though, too much of a good thing can turn beautiful home decor into cheesy decorating.

These silver butterflies on a white wall are a great example of subtle and classy.

Add some fun to a nursery or bedroom with Peel and Stick Wall Dots!

Copper on your front door!

  

Gold over your bed!

Farmhouse Style Animal Wall Hangings Add Timeless Warmth to Your Home Decor

Do you remember the traditional striped pillow and mattress ticking?
It brings back SO many warm fuzzies for me. My favorite is memories of my Grandmother's big feather mattress. My cousins and I would all pile into bed on a chilly fall evening and cozy down into all that fluff, giggling and laughing until we fell asleep!

Cow & Calf Wall Hanging

Along with my fond memories of the farm I grew up on, I've created my series of farm animals and other original silhouettes and applied them to that traditional navy blue ticking. Pigs, cows, horses, chickens, llama, and more! These wall hangings are not just a digital printed canvas, they're actual stretched fabric with heat-set vinyl silhouettes I design and apply myself.

Adds a wonderful warm touch to a baby nursery, kitchen, or bathroom.

Hang them separately, in pairs, or groups of three or four to make a real impact.

From Pigs to Bunnies and lots in between!

This darling calf would be sweet in a baby's room.

Expertly wrapped corners.

Love Steampunk? Gears Wall Decals and Coordinating Digital Paper

I love Steampunk! ...where the romance of victorian beauty and the innovation of new inventions collide in the age of steam. 

GEARS are a huge icon of steampunk, representing both the ornate beauty and the grunge of machinery. 

Add a touch of steampunk to your walls, or include it in your scrapbooking and papercrafting.

It's Spring, Love is in the Air

Inspiration is everywhere! There are interesting scenes and subjects to photograph or paint all around us, if we just take the time to look.

What is a Mandala?

All mandala designs shown in this article are my own creations and are available for purchase as wall decals.

I have a whole series of wall decal designs I call Mandalas. But what is a mandala?

For me its simply a way to describe my designs that have a beautiful, mesmerizing, repeating pattern of often intricate and lacy shapes in a circular motion. Other names I use for similar designs are kaleidoscope, pinwheel, and doily.

But there are many more deeper meanings to mandala as can be read in these articles…
