Pakistan-based art director and illustrator Omar Aqil ( previously) continues his Character Illustrations series with more collaged portraits made from stacks of 3D objects. Using digital software including Adobe Photoshop, Cinema 4D, Octane, and Adobe Illustrator, Aqil creates Picasso-esque faces and places them into random, casual scenes.

The shadows, highlights, and colors make Aqil's rendered sculptures and plinths appear as built-objects in a physical location. Implied facial features give each character a personality that is helped by humorous expressions and mundane scenarios. "Making this series I have explored the new simplicity of shapes and forms to make a character's inner expression which told the whole story," Aqil writes on Behance. He adds the while the main sources of inspiration for the experimental project are Picasso's portraits, the work also is inspired by random situations that he and other designers face.

To see more of Aqil's portraits, check out the illustrator's portfolio on Behance and follow him on Instagram.

Paris Musées, a collection of 14 museums in Paris have recently made high-res digital copies of 100,000 artworks freely available to the public on their collections website. Artists with works in the archive include Rembrandt, Monet, Picasso, Cézanne, and thousands of others. From Hyperallergic:

Paris Musées is a public entity that oversees the 14 municipal museums of Paris, including the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Petit Palais, and the Catacombs. Users can download a file that contains a high definition (300 DPI) image, a document with details about the selected work, and a guide of best practices for using and citing the sources of the image.

"Making this data available guarantees that our digital files can be freely accessed and reused by anyone or everyone, without any technical, legal or financial restraints, whether for commercial use or not," reads a press release shared by Paris Musées.

What a treasure trove this is. I was particularly happy to see a bunch of work in here from Eugène Atget, chronicler of Parisian streets, architecture, and residents and one of my favorite photographers.

One of the most appealing aspects of traveling to a foreign country is visiting museums. You can now also do it online.

The prospect of traveling abroad can be enticing for many. It is an experience that allows for the exploration of a new country, culture and language. One of the most appealing aspects of traveling to a foreign country is visiting museums. Museums provide a different insight into a country's history and culture, through masterful pieces of art and delicate artifacts.

However, traveling abroad isn't easy. Not only is there a lot of planning involved. There can also be financial burdens. As well as problems that the world is witnessing today. As the Coronavirus infiltrates borders across the globe, many governmental organizations are demanding that museums, and most public places, need to be shut down for public health safety.

Despite all of these problems, there is a solution: visiting museums online. Below is a list of ten world-famous museums that provide an enriching experience through virtual tours online.

The Tate Britain - London, England

Ph: Kiev.Victor

Located on Millbank in the City of Westminster is the Tate Britain. This art museum is one piece of a network of galleries throughout England. The network includes Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St. Ives, with Tate Britain being the oldest link in the chain. Funded by Henry Tate in 1889, the museum opened its doors to the public in 1897.

Upon opening, the Tate Britain housed a small collection of British artwork. It has since grown to accommodate a collection of over 70,000 pieces of art. Dating from the 16 th-centruy to the present day and including styles from international modern to contemporary art, the gallery offers a variety of art and styles suitable for everyone. Google Virtual tour.

The British Museum - London, England

Ph:muratart

Founded in 1753 and opening its doors in 1759, the British Museum was t he first national public museum of the world. Located in the Bloomsbury neighborhood of London, this public institution is dedicated to the presentation of human art, culture and history. Housing a permanent collection of eight million artifacts, the British Museum can be described as the largest, most comprehensive collection in the world.

The British Museum's massive collection began during the reign of the British Empire. It has been described as a collection of history, with its artifacts originating from all seven continents. Today, the museum apologies for its previous acquisition of artifacts. However, the collection continues to grow, through the use of more humane ways: donations, excavations and purchases from private collectors. Online tour.

The Dalí Theater and Museum - Figueres, Spain

Ph: seeshooteatrepeat

At the heart of the Dalí Theater and Museum is the building that once housed the old town theater. After being destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, the theater was left in a state of ruins, until 1960. At this time Salvador Dalí and the mayor of Figueres came together and decided to rebuild the theater. Buried in a crypt below the main stage is Salvador Dalí, himself, the man to whom the Dalí Theater and Museum was dedicated to.

Located in his hometown of Figueres in Catalonia, about an hour away from Barcelona, the museum houses the largest collection of Dalí's work in the world. The architecture of the museum can be seen as a work of art within itself. For these reasons, the Dalí Theater and Museum has been described as the most interesting museums in Northern Spain and has become one of the most popular, as well. Virtual tour.

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia - Madrid, Spain

Often referred to as the Museo Reina Sofia or more simply the Sofia is the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. Located in Madrid, close to the Atocha train and metro stops, the Sofia is Spain's national museum of 20 th-centruy art.

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia houses a collection dedicated to Spanish art and proudly displays the works of Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. Its most famous piece happens to be Picasso's Guernica. Despite the museums dedication to Spanish art, the collection has expanded to include work from international artists. Google virtual tour.

The Louvre - Paris, France

One of the world's largest and most visited museums is the Louvre. Sitting on the Right Bank of the Seine River and serving as a central landmark in the city of Paris, France, the Louvre originally held a collection of only 537 paintings originating from royals or confiscated church property.

However, since its opening on 10 August 1793, the museum's collection grew to house nearly 35,000 objects, dating from the prehistoric era to the 21 st-century. Exhibited in an area of over 652,300 square feet, the Louvre's collection is broken up into eight curatorial departments: Prints and Drawings; Sculpture; Decorative Arts; Islamic Art; Near Eastern Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities; and finally, Egyptian Antiquities. Millions of curious onlookers visit the Louvre every year to experience the beauty of the Egyptian Sphinxes and the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." Virtual tour.

The Vatican Museums - Vatican City

Ph: RPBaiao

The smallest country in the world is home to the third most visited museum in the world - the Vatican Museums. What once began as a small collection of sculptures started by Pope Julius II, the Vatican Museums grew into a complex array of galleries and museums. With the help of popes Clement XIV and Pius VI, the collection expanded to house the works of artists like Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and Salvador Dalí. Some notable works include da Vinci's "Last Supper" and Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam," which can be viewed on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Online tour.

The Uffizi Gallery - Florence, Italy

Designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560, the Uffizi Gallery was originally meant to house the Granducal Magistratures of Tuscany for Cosimo I de'Medici. Over time, however, the top floor of the Uffizi became an exhibition of ancient sculptures, artwork and artifacts originating from the dynastic collection. Eventually the house was wiped out, but Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress, negotiated for the collection to stay in Florence. The collection then formed one of the world's first modern museums. Beginning in the 16 th-centruy, the Uffizi Gallery remained closed to the public and was only accessible through request. This changed in 1765, when the gallery officially opened to the public, and it has remained that way ever since. Online Google tour.

The Doge's Palace - Venice, Italy

One of the 11 museums run by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, the Doge's Palace opened its doors as a museum in 1923. However, before this transition, the palace was once home to the Doge of Venice. The supreme authority of the former Republic of Venice resided in one of the most popular landmarks in the city of Venice. For years this palace built in Venetian Gothic style has captured the attention of viewers from the outside, but now as a museum, it entices visitors to explore the inside. Google virtual tour.

The Belvedere - Vienna, Austria

Declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the Belvedere is one of Europe's most stunning Baroque landmarks. Once used a summer residence by Prince Eugene of Savoy, the museum now is home to the biggest collection of Austria art dating from the Middle Ages to present day. This collection displays more than just a development in Austrian art, but it also provides an insight into Austrian history. Alongside the primary collection are works from international artists, as well as exhibits of the castle itself. Google virtual tour.

The Rijksmuseum - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Ph: Dennis van de Water

In 1800, the Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague and then moved to Amsterdam eight years later. In Amsterdam this museum, dedicated to the arts and history of Amsterdam, bounced from home to home. It was first located in the Royal Palace, later it was moved to the Trippenhuis. Now, it has found its present home at the Museum Square located in the borough of South Amsterdam.

The Rijksmuseum is the most visited museum in the Netherlands. It is also the largest art museum in the country, with a total of 8,000 displayed objects. This is just a small fraction of the entire collection housed in the Rijksmuseum, a collection of 1 million artworks and artifacts dating from the 13 th-century to the 21 st-centruy. Among this collection are works from artists ike Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Johannes Vermeer. Google virtual tour.

This is part 4 of a planty series read parts don't forget to read parts 1, 2 & 3 in any order. DoodleBirdie
Tiny terrariums are my newest obsession.
my 2 week old, so far, imperfect terrariums that I adore
If you've been around these parts since the beginning you might remember my huge terrarium on a stand that I've had both inside and out. I found that it wasn't bringing me enough joy for the amount of room it was taking up so I sold it a few years ago. When my boys were young we grew plants and my boys put their plastic dinosaurs in the terrarium-and anything they found on a nature walk usually ended up in there as well, since it was huge we could pop in pine cones or special rocks (maybe even a found lizard when the terrarium was outside). If you have boys, they will LOVE a large terrarium.

Now, I'm into tiny terrariums. Two years ago we had a Terrarium Pro guest post here and tell us exactly what we need to make our own terrarium I'll include the list of needed items in this post as well::

apothecary jar / where to find it: thrift stores, garden boutiques, craft stores

rocks / where to find it: your driveway, craft /dollar stores

charcoal / where to find it: garden centers, aquarium shops

potting soil / where to find it: any garden center

AND LIVE PLANTS::

small low-light plants / where to find it: garden centers

moss / where to find it: your backyard, garden centers

via Rachelthebish

The best part about tiny terrariums is that they are a little micro world all their own. You can make them out of just about any glass container from a fish bowl to a wine glass to a light bulb. They are easy to keep alive especially the enclosed terrariums because they almost self water. And, my favorite part? You can embellish your tiny terrarium with sweet little accessories.

Here are some of my favorite embellished terrariums::

This is Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Terrarium created to scale, complete with a hand made replicate of the Beetlejuice house hand painted (some parts with a ONE HAIR paint brush!) I die.

These terrariums are absolutely enchanting-see the tiny people in there? It's their wedding! I think Twig has the most amazing terrariums to purchase and or be inspired from.

Ok, I can't stand it, here are some more photos all from the MASTERS of Terrarium, TWIG::

I apologize because I realize after looking at these photos, if you are anything like me, you are now grabbing your keys, making a list and scavenging your home for terrarium parts. These photos have magical powers to posses one with terrarium cravings. These terrariums are one of the most inspiring things I've seen a long time and are such quirky curiosities for all ages-and they are FUN and easy to make.
Do you have or want a terrarium? Any tips? Ideas? Places you know where we can get a miniature unicorn?
Go forth, and Terrariumate!

Using Plants in Your Home Part 4 :: Terrariums

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far. I wanted to share with you an incredibly easy, but beautiful craft that my kiddos and I worked on the other day. I love this DIY project because there are so many possibilities for the use of these little dragonflies and they turned out so beautiful....did I mention they are super easy to make?

In the spring and early summer our back deck is covered with these maple seed twirlers, so finding a stash of these was not hard to do, and it's a good excuse to clean the deck 🙂
Supplies you will need:
Simply lay out your maple seeds on a paper, or wax paper, and start painting your seeds. I must confess that I had as much fun as my kids. There is no right or wrong color and you can paint as simple or as elaborate as you wish.

For a more complex and detailed look, layer your paint colors so that each wing is not just one color. Once one side is dry you can flip them over and paint the other side. Depending on what you plan to use these for the underside might not have to be painted.

Once everything is dry, choose 2 maple seed twirls that you want to pair together. If your seeds are already broken in half, don't worry, just glue each seed together to make a set of "wings". Next, put a dot of hot glue on the back of the larger maple seed "wing" and press the smaller seed "wing" down on top. Next, cut your thin twigs into 3″ pieces and glue one on the top side of each of your double winged seeds.

We left the twigs bare, but you could definitely paint them a shimmery gold to give them even more color. There are so many fun things you can do with these beauties.

1. Glue a wire to the underside of the stick body and pop them in your indoor plants.

2. Tie a piece of fishing line to them and hang them at various heights from the ceiling to make it look like they are flying.

3. Use them to decorate a fairy or garden party

4. Use them to decorate a party cake.

MAKE THESE FOR WEDDING AND PARTY FAVORS
Make these dragonflies as wedding or party favors for your guests to take home. Here are a few ideas on how to incorporate them into your wedding/party favors. First, create them in the colors of your theme and...

1. Simply lay one dragonfly on each guests plate.

2. Take a piece of jute string, tie tightly around each guests napkin and insert the twig part of the dragonfly into the string.

3. Wrap floral wire around the body leaving a long strand at the end. Fill a vase with various colored dragonflies for each guest to pick.

4. Glue a dragonfly onto a pack of seeds and place one at each setting, or fill a basket for guest to choose from.

The possibilities are endless, and these were such a fun and easy craft project to create. I love projects that are both kid and adult friendly. So now my kids have there pink and blue polka dot dragonflies and I have my shimmery teal and gold ones. We all win! 🙂

I am always interested to see how you used your dragonflies and any tips you have for the readers.

Have a wonderful summer!
