Ginkgo (wedding) gown from the Spring 2009 collection designed by Hanna Touma, as found on the blog, Wedding Inspirasi

Wedding Inspirasi is an absolutely gorgeous site to visit for wedding inspiration. Recognizing that my meager audience is peppered with those looking for wedding items, definitely my friends, visit the Wedding Inspirasi blog!

I receive alot of submissions of items created with a ginkgo motif. As one can expect, I have seen most easily found ginkgo items. If its a front page Amazon item, or etsy item, you can be sure I’ve seen it.

I’ve consulted with a couple of artists now, who wished for ginkgo inspiration for this or that project and sought my input from a ginkgo ‘as an artistic motif’ collector eye. I’ve got a particular taste that I feature on this blog. Straying away from the Arts and Crafts movement, and more I feel, abstract or Impressionist.

All of this said…

Its become more and more difficult to find items I feel are truly inspiring to me and the asthetic I enjoy collecting via this blog…and perhaps my audience…which by the way impresses me daily when I look at the Stats!

For artists who come for similar inspiration….theres a few things that I wish have been created in the ginkgo shape…either in a refreshed manner or period at all or would like to see more of.

The running list of items I am still seeking:

stained glass

embroidery

paper craft

shaped soap

tattoos

wood burning

inlay/marquettry

furniture

fixtures

gadgets!

childrens room/decor

pajamas

lingerie

kinetic sculpture

costume design

bridal gear i.e. gowns, themed weddings etc ( I receive many contacts about this particularly!)

TRULY unique and one of a kind jewellery

more to come
