...process...

...for me art is all about the process...I think it is for most artists- the act of creating & getting lost in it...it's everything to me...sometimes it's nice to have a plan on what you are going to create but other times there is a beauty in letting it evolve organically...here are 2 very different artistic approaches (as well as art) but both are about the beauty of the process...hope they inspire you as much as they have inspired me....I could watch these over & over again...{lisa solberg & supakitch & koralie} x mvg

...comey in LI...

I was sifting through some old inspirational tears today & I came across an article about Rachel Comey's Long Island getaway I had ripped out from Domino in 2008!  I searched everywhere on the internet for "non-magazine" photos of the interior, but none to be found...so you'll have to bear with my crappy scans....I did however find an article about her attending the University of Vermont.  So random...I had no idea that we shared the same college & major (studio art)....anyways, I love her style & her converted 1920's laundromat in Greenport, NY (which I think she has since sold, sadly).  {images via domino magazine & refinery29}

...times they are a changin...

bonjour faithful root interiors readers!  If you haven't noticed over the past few months I've been slowly updating the blog & creative services to include more than just interiors (don't worry, I'll still be posting heaps about interiors), so with that said, I thought it was time to update the blogspot address as well!  Please be sure to update your bookmarks so you can still access the site easily, I'm hoping the change won't bother too many of you!  Thank you for reading & your ongoing support!

creative services: I'm now available for all sorts of rad stuff....surface pattern design, graphic design, interior design- you can still view my interior portfolio (which I desperately need to update) here, & now my art & design portfolio here.  

blog: I'm trying to incorporate more diverse posts ranging from interiors, fashion, art, music, yoga, surfing/snowboarding, flea marketing, projects, diy, & recipes etc etc...if you have suggestions for posts or categories that you'd like to see more of please leave a comment or shoot me an email.  I'd love your feedback! mollyvgraham@gmail.com....x

...liberty prints...

...liberty- new Spring/Summer2012 fabric print collection loves & inspiration...the collection was inspired by archives, antiques, and costume.   I think I'm going to have to pop in the shop when I'm in London next week...x

1- an archival graphic watercolor taken from a document dating back to 1949

2- a print designed by nayuko yamamoto & inspired by the art deco architecture in the film metropolis

3- zhandra rhodes & liberty collab- inspired by florals from the 1920's with vibrantly colored oriental style flowers on dark grounds

4- a print inspired by a trip to the Glencot House in Somerset- tassels, chandeliers, ceramics, & plant life. Painted in a block print style giving it a batik feel.

...via myvibe....

...some photos from behind the scene preparations for Kelly Wearstler's Fall2012 collection presentation for fashion week.  In love with the rack of acid washed denim, painterly prints- black, white, & moody blues...her transition from home into fashion has been seamless- she is one of my favorites...{all images via myvibemylife} x mvg
