There’s so much joy and beauty around us that we don’t always notice. But if you pay close attention, you’ll find it everywhere. The Instagram page @mignonettetakespictures proves this by gathering candid, heart-warming photos from all over the internet and sharing them with the rest of the world. Take a look at their posts below, and don’t miss our conversation with artist Débora Silva, who contributed one of these touching images. More info: Website | Facebook Débora is a Lisbon-based artist who works in sculpture and jewelry design, known for her unconventional creations on social media. “My journey into jewelry wasn’t straightforward,” she shares. “I originally studied sculpture, specializing in ceramics. After moving to London, I dove into digital art and soon began 3D-printing my sculptures, which eventually led me to create jewelry. At the moment, I am interested in creating playful pieces by blending traditional materials, such as silver and gold, with everyday objects.” “It’s not uncommon to scroll on social media and see many pictures of newly engaged couples where someone is crying,” Débora says. “Honestly, it was during a time when my partner and I were starting to discuss the idea of marrying, and for some reason, I couldn’t stop wondering if either of us would cry. Funnily enough, I was cooking, specifically cutting onions, and the idea of the onion ring just clicked in my head.” “In case any of you are curious, none of us cried. Instead, we hysterically laughed.” Impressed by her work, Bored Panda asked Débora where she finds her inspiration. “Everywhere and in everything,” she says. “Including cutting onions.” Start with something as simple as changing your daily habits. Try exploring a new neighborhood or take a short weekend trip to gain a new perspective on the world. “Seeing new things helps to spark off new ideas,” says Burrill. Burrill believes that “soaking up new influences is an important part of forming your creative DNA.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
