claudine hellmuth

Uniquely personalized with a healthy dose of creativity and humor, I think Claudine Hellmuth’s artwork makes for great gift giving. For starters, she’s a wonderful illustrator–not the rigid, paint by numbers kinda gal, is filled with bright, slightly off-kilter 50s nostalgia: we’re talking argyle golf shorts and green polkadot dresses! Of course, the star of [...]

My daily cute finds, served up fresh from me to you! I am absolutely enamored with the blue/orange/white motif of these flat cards; they’re sold in a set of 8 and can be personalized!

madame fortuna jewelry

One thing I like about repurposed work is the sheer quantity of materials from which to draw upon; Madame Fortuna is clearly one who has a knack for drawing upon such sources!

thymbl designs

If handmade were to be embodied in a person, I would very much picture someone like Mademoiselle A. Living in Germany in a little old house, amidst hills shrouded in mist and meandering alleys, her creations draw upon the finer, handcrafted traditions of the past. Above: sweet little bird and mushroom brooches, perched on vintage [...]

essimar

I have a feeling if Esther ever opened her own brick and mortar shop, it’d be the kind you could spend hours in without realizing it. What Esther does is create art; yet her mediums and implementations fluctuate in delightfully unexpected ways. From sketch prints to hand-pulled screenprints, she explores and invites you to do [...]
