Paisley of the Week - Paisley Girl

I haven't done a Paisley of the Week since before Christmas and for that I appologize. I've been lazy about it to be honest preferring to take the passive approach that if I saw a worthy paisley, I'd post it. Mousing around on Etsy this morning I found this super cool watercolor "Paisley Girl" by Jessica Stride of Purple Tree Bird on Etsy. I love her style, it's whimiscal and weird which is a lovely combination. It's reminiscent of Teesha Moore who motivated my Person-a-Day project. Synchronicity at work, eh? Be sure to visit the Purple Tree Bird blog as well!

Restful Blue

Sometimes you just want a background-y background that doesn't hide all of your icons or distract people from your content.  Here is a serene, blue, quietly abstract ocean to float behind your Twitter, MySpace, Desktop or Blog.
