Mosaic Mermaids Adorn Los Angeles Gas Station

August 22, 2013 by Cathi Milligan

New United Oil Gas Station in Echo Park with mermaid 8-19-2013 10-53-36 PMI know this story reported on by the eastsider web site, is a bit Los Angeles centric but the fact that a gas station owner has decorated his station so beautifully with mosaic art needs to be shared. Let’s encourage more of this kind of thinking. There are mermaids and other sea life adorning the United Gas Station in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Since we’re about to have a vote about lifting the mural ban at the City Council tomorrow, it’s nice that the beautification of businesses is already in full motion. The owner of this station is known for decorating his stations but I have to say, having driven by this place as it was being adorned, I am certainly looking forward to buying gas there as well as going inside to get the necessary refreshments. Check it out if you’re in the Echo Park area.

32 Halloween Silhouette Digital Stamps and Die Cuts

32 Halloween Silhouette Digital Stamps and Die Cuts

If you’re starting on your Halloween paper crafting projects you’re going to want to download this amazing collection of Halloween silhouettes! There are 32 different designs you can download for FREE. This all black set of clipart designs has spooky images of black cats, bubbling cauldrons, creepy skulls, a flight of bats, creeping spider, haunting ghosts, laughing Jack O’ Lanterns and some eerie sentiments as well. These images come in SVG, JPG and PNG so they can be printed out or die cut with your electronic die cutting machine. I love using silhouettes with colorful backgrounds created with ink blending or alcohol inks so the dark image really pops. Use them to create cards, scrapbook layouts, party decor or planner pages for your upcoming Halloween projects.

Click here to visit Design Bundles to get this collection for yourself.
