One of the EtsyBlogger Blog Carnival topics for this month is: Show me your all time favorite piece of art and why you find it inspiring. I don't have a single favorite piece of art, but one of my favorites is one of the classics: Starry Night by Van Gogh.
I did a cross-stitch version of it a few years ago.
I've completed 5 counted cross-stitch kits in my life, and this one was definitely the most difficult. It was well worth it, though!
I saw this neat Starry Night bench in the fine arts building on my undergrad campus when I was visiting it last summer.
I can contribute a lot of the appeal of this painting for me to one of my first cats who was all black and named Sky, short for Night Sky. I've always had a soft spot for things related to the night sky because of her. I also enjoy clouds a lot so I'm generally drawn to sky imagery.
I made a dark blue stars and moons bracelet a couple years ago that I traded to someone back in September.
I have one like it in my personal collection, too. The bracelet above inspired the random bracelet below - silver links celestial bracelet - that is currently available in my shop.
I don't have any other specific plans for starry night/celestial themed jewelry right now, but I'm sure that it's a theme that I'll continue to revisit in the future.
