Overachiever















Wow! My Christmas cactus is so beautiful and so enormous! I re-potted it a few years ago and began sending it to summer camp on the porch. Must be ideal conditions because this is one happy plant. It has it's own chair by the best sunny window.

FACETS














Here's a postcard I just did for FACETS, an art jewelry collective, for their winter sale on Saturday, December 1, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. at the Radisson at Cross Keys, 5100 Falls Road, Suite 353, in Baltimore. You can see more of their beautiful work here.

And these...

Lisa Kokin


I've been collecting buttons for a long time now, so I was blown away when I found Lisa Kokin’s website. I'm also drawn to the pixelated quality. Beautifully tender and exquisite work.

Terhi Tolvanen


Wood, silver, textile, fluorite.

Mari Ishikawa












I love trees. This is from ALTERNATIVES. Beautifully delicate and feminine.

2ndSKIN Cork Jewellery








I was browsing Klimt02 and came across this interesting jewelry from 2ndSKIN, which is an international project/concept starting in Portugal. Cork is the 2ndSKIN of the tree just as jewelry is the 2ndSKIN of the human body.

Micki Whelan


















These encaustic brooches are so unique... beeswax plus resin. And a wonderful color palette too.

KENNETH WINGARD

I love these BLUE GREEN BLOCK VINTAGE PILLOWS
...from the mid seventies, unearthed from a back storeroom at a fabric company... shop here.

This made me :- ) – It’s :-) 25th B'day

Eva Isaksen





I just stumbled onto these incredible prints and paintings by Eva Isaksen. So beautifully layered and organic. I've found my inspiration for the day. Lovely work.

Jennifer Stenhouse

I just love these mesh and enamel earrings. Great textures and colors. You can see more of her fabulous work here, or at her Etsy shop.

Nicholas Wilton


I am such a huge fan of Nicolas Wilton. I love the composition of simple forms, the textures and energy in his work. His paintings feel like modern day cave drawings.

Angie Lewin: Prints

These linocuts, lithographs and wood engravings are so inspiring. See them here.

Elsita




I love these brooches from Elsita at Etsy. They remind of a ceramic dishes from the 60s. Cute.
