Inspirational Tuesday

I have been seeing a lot of ‘Moss Graffiti’ projects on the internet lately and I was fascinated by how unusual and pretty it looks.

In case you haven’t heard about moss graffiti: Moss graffiti is a way to create a wall art with moss, you use a special mixture, spray it on a surface in a chosen design and the moss will grow.

I also love how many people have made moss graffiti, from street artist to people that just like to get crafty.

I unfortunately don’t have any proper wall in my garden to use this method on, but I’ve found the perfect moss graffiti tutorial for you here

Here are some of my favorite moss art finds:

Inspirational Tuesday

Today is tuesday, and that means it’s: Inspirational Tuesday time! And do I have a treat for you!

I discovered these images on the website of Missmoss, she was given a book: The art of Vogue covers. The book includes the entire British Vogue cover collection from 1920 to 1930. And here’s the good part: she was nice enough to scan in some of the covers to share with us! You can find all her scans on her flickr page.

They are just gorgeous! And I can’t believe that she would scan them to share, so nice!

Here are some of my favorites:

Have a lovely tuesday everyone! xoxo

Double Exposure Photography DIY

A couple of days ago, I spotted this fabulous post on Oh The Lovely Things about Double Exposure Photography. She links to photographers that use this look in there work and luckily she also links to the website Bubby and Bean, where there’s a great tutorial on how to create your own work of arts.

I followd the tutorial and created the images that you see in this post. It’s a lot of pictures of me, but I just had to try on the pictures I had on my computer ;)

It was so much fun to do and every different background created a total new look to an image.

Inspirational Tuesday

It is tuesday again, and that means that I will show you some of my favorite inspirations! I am really excited about this one today, because I want to tell you something about Alex Prager. I just discovered her work and I’m in love with it! And I am also lucky enough that there’s an exhibition with her work in Holland, so I’m definitely going to visit that!

Born in 1979, Alex Prager is a self-taught American photographer and filmmaker who lives and works in Los Angeles.

Alex Prager has recently made the Touch of Evil shoot, which is a video gallery of “cinematic villainy inspired by nefarious icons”. While the videos are amazing, the photos are also stunning. Featuring Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Kirsten Dunst, Jessica Chastain, Brad Pitt, Glenn Close and many more as characters from old films, some of the choices are much less obvious but equally interesting and it is great to see them bring the characters to life in their own unique way.

Besides the amazing Touch of Evil shoot, she’s also caught my eye with her beautiful photographs. She has different series and each one of them is just breathtaking! Please take a look on her website and be amazed!

Inspirational Tuesday

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of inspirational research for this blog. School is starting soon, and I want to be prepared, so that on some busy schooldays I’ll still have enough inspiration to create lovely tutorials for you!

Besides looking on all the wonderful blogs out there for inspiration, I also tend to search for new art installations, photography projects and believe it or not: music videos. Some musicians have so much personal style in there videos, like Paloma Faith (shown in the video above). She’s been known for her fabulous (very often vintage) outfits and I love that she mixes styles, to create this vintage looking femme fatale.

If you have the time, please google her and you’ll see what I mean, she’s great and her voice is amazing!

To keep you on the inspirational tour, I decided to make this my first ever weekly post. So every tuesday you will find inspirational art, video’s, fashion and much more on Lana Red!

Have a wonderful tuesday everyone!xoxo Lana

Umbrella Sky

What you see here is an art installation in Portugal, this installation is an initiative by the council in Agueda, Portugal and is a part of an art festival called Agitagueda. And I just love it!

The concept is so simple, but it works very well in this pitoresque looking street. The colors of the umbrellas brightens the street and the people in it up, and protects them from the sun. To me, it looks almost magical and I wish I could walk underneath these umbrellas and feel the colorful vibe! I also wonder what it would be like to walk there in the rain, I imagine that it would make a lovely sound!

The Falling Tree

I found this amazing installation on Pinterest and love it! It’s designed by Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger. It’s called the Falling Tree and it was created for the 50th venice biennial in 2003. It was housed in the church of San Stae on the Grand canal, Italy.

visitors lie on a bed, above the doge’s tomb, in the middle of the church and watch as the installation merges itself with it’s surroundings.

I just love how the objects don’t just fill the space, but seem to be a part of it. Oh how I wish I was in Italy in 2003!
