I struggle to incorporate art and design into my daily life because I live on such a small budget, but I put most of my efforts into creating outfits that are fashionable and innovative, but composed of very affordable pieces. I also follow a lot of blogs – like this one! – to keep my ideas fresh and inspired.

I work in an industry that is lacking in creativity so I surround myself with art at home. I am quickly running out of wall space and the bookshelves are overflowing. I also like to express my creativity in the way I dress. Thanks for the chance to win.

Hello! What a great blog and a beautiful book-Alice is my favorite story-I love how beautiful and dark it is. I would say that like other comments here-I also keep art and design in my life through my blog where I post things that are inspiring to me. Also-I work at an Arts Council and feel lucky that my jobs inspires me daily because of working with great artists and helping them to find funding to continue their work. I also get to see their work daily on the walls around me which is great and inspires me to blog and collage. :) Thanks for the opportunity! Athena
Wow, I love reading your comments! You guys have some interesting answers! :)
Hm.. this is a really interesting question. To express my creativity using art and design in my life, I use colour and pattern. I wear it/decorate with it/design with it as part of my everyday life to express my emotions and ideas and constantly draw to spark my creativity and keep my ideas flowing :)

This book is so cool, wow! I’d have to say that I incorporate art & design from blogging and creating collages or just coming across creative and beautiful designs. It’s so inspiring when you come across beautiful work or something unique and different. I love that!!
I believe in surrounding myself in colour and flowers, and I try to get other people to appreciate colour as well. I try to keep my life simple and my creativity active by blogging and collaging. I love gardening too, and I feel like I can create my own little enchanted forest with my garden. Oh so fun :)
Art and design in my life is incorporated primarily online. I like to create collage-like pieces for my blog. The latest works would be my line of Book Fashion in which I create fashionable wear with book cover art. sample is here:
