Artsy Fartsy Friday: Mr. Pear

This Fridays artist is such a mystery to me, I stumbled upon Mr.Pear while on Etsy looking for pear inspiration. The artist behind the pear is GH Yeoh (I think...) anyways, here are my Mr.Pear picks.

Want more Mr.Pear?

Artsy Fartsy Friday: Sandi Devenny

I'd like to introduce you to one of the most versitile artists I've ever worked with. She is the designer of my blog and workaholic mom who turns anything into amazing design that she touches. Her name is Sandi Devenny, and I can't brag about her enough. I started chatting with Sandi over a year ago when I first joined instagram. She posted a photo of some softie toys she was making for a craft fair and I just had to have one. As I started chatting with her more and more and reading her blog, I realized ,WOAH this lady is a MAJOR talented artist. So as proud follower of Ms.Sandi I am pleased to share some of her work with you.

 All these amazing pieces can be purchased HERE

Have I mentioned this lady doodles? I would love to own a page or computer file filled with her little creation.

Cheers,
Deb

Textile Tuesday: Knoll


Happy Textile Tuesday, a day late as usual, but none the less I have another inspiring feature. The Knoll textile and furniture company is what made me want to go to school to become a textile designer. With their bold patterned fabric in places from hospital to homes, I wanted to be apart of a company that had such presents in everyday life.But, with the slump in the economy, and on a two year wait list for an internship (not guaranteeing any sort of job) it was time to move on to more hands on work. I still pine for vintage knoll furniture pieces on craigslist list, and photograph  waiting room/office furniture fabrics to see if they are Knoll.(how dorky right?), but I love textiles, and Knoll's designs proved that different can be functional in everyday places.

Artsy Fartsy Friday: Draw! Pilgrim

Welcome to week two of Artsy Fartsy Friday, this week  I am showing the works of another artist down under. Her name is Pilgrim and she is mother of color. I first was introduced to her work about two years ago, my mother sent me a link to her Etsy shop and it was love at first sight. I have been lucky enough to chat with her through Instagram and Twitter, and she is a joy to follow, shes shares  her colorful outfits and current projects.
The Queen of color combinations.
