happy friday to you
3.30.2012
i hope you have a happy and fun-filled weekend ahead of you! i’m getting close to getting some new items added to the shop, so stick around to see some new stuff soon! this weekend seems to be one of the busiest ones yet, but soon i’m hoping things slow down a bit for me! oh, and i love these ceramics monthly covers from 1953. they are all sorts of inspiring.

these screen printed, handmade leather goods from the new spring collection at falcon wright are fabulous! i love the colors and the quirky patterns. just looking at them makes me smell that delicious, leathery smell . . .
the weaverhouse

postcards, vintage dresses, web design, photography, and a whole shop to boot, the two sisters that make up the weaverhouse have got it going on! they are launching their brand new adventure, and this video is our sneak peek into what they have cookin’ . . . i must say, this is something i should keep my eye on. with my sights set on owning a shop someday, and continuing to create art, watching these ladies work their magic might be good for me to figure out what it is that i’d like to venture forward on.

i love the styling of this image, but more than that, i love the textiles in this image. that bold black & white stripe is too good to be true!

debbie carlos
3.28.2012
i really admire artists who can do many different things, much like debbie carlos. i first noticed her prints and posters, like the perfect twist (which happens to be my favorite!) she has successfully added two etsy shops full of her own creations. i hugely admire that!
but now i’m really enjoying her jewelry line, AHC. debbie carlos lives in chicago, but thanks to etsy, you can purchase her jewelry from anywhere! here are a few of my favorites . . .

james and tilla waters
3.28.2012
james does all of the throwing, and tilla is mainly focused on surface quality.
james and tilla waters are a couple that have fully collaborated with their ceramic wares, and i am truly impressed and inspired. but it is their work that has without a doubt caught my full attention. the soft oranges and the cloudy grays are my tones right now . . .
inspired by
3.27.2012
i was totally inspired by this photo the instant i saw it.
i love seeing an artist in their workspace, even though that isn’t what this photograph is about! (oops!) its kind of nice when anybody can look at a photograph and take away something completely different from everyone else.
