Graphic Inspiration

1. Cup of Tea  2. Thrifting  3. Annoying the Cook  4. Bird Chirping Weather  5. World Changes Color

I work from home so its up to me to motivate myself to get my work done and pat myself on the back when things go well. Sometimes I wish I had a studio fairy who would bounce out of my craft closet and say "Focus now, cake later." or "Wow, you're so talented!".  

The next best thing might be one of these inspiring prints from Etsy.com. There are lots of artists on Etsy offering affordable art these days. Why not wake up your walls with a few well chosen words?

6. Garden and Library 

7. Where Happy Lives  8. This Very Moment  9. My Happy Place  9. Think Less, Make More

Some would also be perfect for children's (or grandchildren's) rooms. Everyone needs a little positive reinforcement now and then.

10. Keep Calm

11. Bird with A French Fry  12. Live the Life

I chose these examples because of how expressive the colors and fonts are. Words are powerful; any of these prints would have a big impact in a foyer or at the end of a long hallway.

13. Change Your Thoughts

I'm tempted by many of these but one or two is enough. Too many sprinkled throughout the house and its like your walls are shouting at you :)14. Some Like It Hot

I hope you found something here to tickle your brain. Click on the links to view or puchase a print for yourself. Or type "inspirational quotes" in the search line on Etsy.com to see more.

15. Time for Another Adventure

Oh, I LOVE this post. Love the bold colours and typography in these. And they're so motivating. Haha, I love your imagined studio fairy: "focus now, cake later". Yes, I can identify with that :)

You chose some great examples of pretty, retro graphics and inspiring quotes! I like to hang post-card sized versions of such reminders on the bulletin board in my studio! :) Robyn

Thanks everyone - I'm still debating which one to purchase but I'm leaning towards "it's like the world changes color here" because that's how I like to feel in my studio.
