K is for Kinetic

Continuing with the theme of blogging the alphabet, we're now at the letter K.  So, today is brought to you by the letter K and the word Kinetic.  Kinetic is an adjective that is pertaining to motion, caused by motion, or characterized by movement.  I've made a small collection of Etsy artists' listings that are kinetic and listed them below.  Enjoy!

First, here are some items from my Etsy shop, BeaOtch.

Don't you just love the way these strands simulate movement and orbits?  I do!

H is for Horticulture

So, we're blogging the alphabet and today is the H entry.  H is for Horticulture.  Horticulture is the science of plant cultivation, and it's the perfect topic for summertime.  Below you'll find some great horticultural listings from Etsy artists.

First up are three listings that I made with beautiful flowers.

Cerulean and Colorblocking

So here's the C entry on the Bea Otch blog...

One of my favorite words is CERULEAN and it is such a great color!

I love the scene in The Devil Wears Prada when Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) explains the fashion industry to Andy (Anne Hathaway).  Miranda says, "You're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room, from a pile of 'stuff'."

Here's the scene:

I like this color so much that I made a necklace using it.

Here are more Etsy sellers who like this color:

Cerulean Forest Print

Cerulean Wrap

Here's another C word - Colorblocking.

Colorblocking is not new, but it is back with a bang this season.

Here's an example of colorblocking on a necklace I made:

Here are other Etsy sellers that display colorblocking:

Today was brought to you by the letter C!  What've we learned today?

We've learned to go with gusto to Cerulean and Colorblocking!!
