Was browsing in one of my favorite Danish blog, Lille Lykke, where I came upon these photos of a shooting location from UK company, Light Locations. Of course I had to share. Love the way the eclectic colors pop against that white. And the one wall of turquoise seems to make it all cohesive.

You’ve probably seen the animal mugs featured in Real Simple magazine recently. The mugs and beautiful white vases were manufactured by Japanese company, Kinto. They’re available here in the U.S. at Korin, a tableware and knife shop located in New York. Love the white on white of those vases.

Really loving these graphic pillows from Australian crafter and blogger, Kylie Hunt. Glad that I know how to crochet and can make these for myself. For those of you who don’t have the skill, you’re in luck. Some of these pillows are available on her Etsy shop, Three Sheets, so do take a look.

Been following Japanese shop, Fabrickaz, on and off for a few years because they had such a great collection of vintage feed sacks as well as vintage fabrics. They have taken some of those fabrics, added recycled rice bags and linen to create a fantastic line of handmade items. You can see much of it in their gallery and many more in their blog. So do browse when you get a chance.

It has turned out to be cut paper week here on my blog as I feature another UK artist, Helen Musselwhite. She creates amazing hand cut paper sculptures and collages many of which can be seen on her website. She writes this about her work:
“Each piece combines the hand cutting, folding and scoring of a wide range of papers and card that are further worked on to create patterned and textured surfaces. They are then used to build scenes in box frames which are often complex and consist of many layers. This process means that each item of work is truly individual with no two pieces the same.Influenced by the natural world each piece is manipulated to become an intriguing place, a glimpse into another world of fiction and fairytale.”

Intrigued by the paper cut work and sculptures of Colombian artist, Diana Beltran Herrera. Her art is an ever evolving experiment with many materials and techniques. She writes of herself:
“This question that make me wonder: what if?
is always my favorite part.
I just want to make every single thing, just as simple, as nice”.

UK artist Jennifer Collier treats paper as if cloth, employing stitching as the main technique In transforming them into these incredible works of art. She recycles and gives new life to things that otherwise would be thrown away. She says of her work:
“I enjoy the idea of working with disposable organic materials that are transient in nature, imbuing them with worth and creating something intriguing and of great beauty.”
