Window Wednesday

I thought we needed a bit of colour in my new room, so I rummaged through the garage for my bottles. I haven’t seen these since we moved into the house, they used to be lined up on a shelf under the wall to wall skylights in our old flat. But glass and kittens don’t mix well..

Studio project 8

I don’t do a lot of websurfing these days, but here’s a few links to entertain you. And because I’m lazy, I always welcome handy links to other awesome artists (or just plain awesomeness) in the comment section. 🙂

Textile art using found objects – Amy Meissner

Very interesting basketry – Deborah Muhl

Cutest felt animals ever – Katerina Kozubenko

The downside of fast fashion

Whimsical dolls (figurines?)

ETA: I have admin approval on comments with links, so please be patient if you post one and it doesn’t appear instantly as usual.
