jewelry _ contrasts

i love the contrasts in this

marble-leather-steel ring created by

blind spot jewellery (jános gábor varga).

also, the little marble shape reminds me

of a sugar cube, which makes the design even

more attracting.

szeretem a kontrasztokat. tetszik, ahogyan
varga jános gábor a bőrt ezekkel a hideg anyagokkal,
a márványal és az acéllal kombinálja.

ráadásul, a kis márványdarab úgy néz ki,
mint egy kockacukor, ami külön jó.

would wear _ these beautiful, hand-painted, hand-sewn leather backpacks from pendular pocket

drawing boy satchel (290.36 euro)

drawing boy bag (238 euro)

joy backpack (138.04 euro)

i just love these!

pandular pocket is the one-man-show of

cristina paniagua periscal,

a spanish girl, who studied fine arts,

but then decided to make her art wearable.

patchwork on the runway is no new thing.

just remember xuly bët from the '90s recycling

old jersey clothes and patching them

up into new ones.

some brands, like desigual for example

even have a patchworky style as

their signature one.

the above pics are from recent years

and the trend seems unstoppable, maybe because

it can convey so many moods from

elegant to hippy.

what i also like about this trend is that

it can be recreated at home too.

nice idea for a crafty weekend _ make a paper patchwork

making a paper patchwork like this one by 

elisabeth dunker of fine little day

must be a whole lot of fun!

these paper patches are first painted

with acrylic or gouache, and only after

having been painted are they cut to shape

and assembled.

that sweater

so beautiful.

i would love to make

a beautiful sweater like this for myself.

or, another idea of mine is to 

buy t-shirts in a thrift shop,

cut them up to make thick yarns

and then knit them into a nice

sweater.

amanda henderson

nice idea for a crafty day _ make a bead curtain

well, i think this is just a bunch of bead necklaces hung from a rod,

but it gave me the idea of a nice bead curtain,
maybe for my kitchen window.

you can get hordes of inspiration for bead curtains on pinterest,
but the one i'd make would be similar to this thing above.
I'd definitely use colorful glass beads.

ezen a fenti képen legjobb saccom szerint egy csomó,
farúdról lelógó gyöngynyakláncot látunk.

ám eme látvány azt a hirtelen ötletet adta,
hogy lehetne hasonló gyöngyfüggönyt készíteni,
például a kis konyhám ablakára.

a pinteresten, kis kereséssel, rengeteg gyöngyfüggöny
inspirációt lehet találni, de az én elképzelésem inkább
ehhez a fentihez állna közel, és majdnem biztos,
hogy színes üveggyöngyöket használnék, amelyeken
néha átvilágítna a napocska.

some real magazine art by gemis luciani

what at the first glance might look like

colorful collages, are actually,

as the last photo reveals, systematically

folded fashion and design magazines,

by gemis luciani.

two necklaces that i like _ manon van kouswijk

i really like these playful pieces by

australian artist manon van kouswijk.

would wear _ this scarf by alison worman

incredibly beautiful scarf by

artist alison worman.

she seems to make all kinds

of beautiful, beautiful things.

proof of this is this older post of mine

with one of her works.

by all means check out her blogs!

jajj, annyira csodaszép ez a sál,

nem is igazán találok rá szavakat.

én annyi mindent szeretnék még csinálni

az életemben... például megtanulni szőni is. :)

én nem is igazán tudom, hogyan

szövik az efféle szöveteket... mert ugye,

ez tulajdonképpen dupla szövet.

ahol nincs minta, ott el tudod egymástól

távolítani a kezeddel a két réteget.

ahol pedig minta van, ott tulajdonképpen

"helyet cserél" a két réteg, ezért aztán

a szövet két oldala egymásnak inverze.

na, majd egyszer jól utánanézek ennek!

alison worman szőtte ezt a szépséget!

mindenképpen nézzétek meg az

oldalát, mert csomó más dolgot is csinál!

nice idea for a crafty spring day _ cover a box with beautiful fabrics

i think, covering some storage boxes with

beautiful, feel-good fabrics would be a good

start to a crafty spring.

patterned fabrics are a lot more forgiving, too

if you're not so skilful with your tools.

collection of lights at barn light electric.

discovered through a refinaria.

2 _ you can make these lovely boxes from scratch,

just follow the instructions of

rashida coleman-hale

(she makes lots of beautiful things!).

she made these lovelies for the

art gallery fabrics blog.

a little gelatology _ an initiative by studio fludd

chiara diluviani

gianvito fanelli, elena ramilli

marghita d’alò

tiziana tosoni (whose pinterest is one of my faves), alice zani

ebru turgul

what a great idea from studio fludd.

they organize so-called gelatology workshops,

were the participants get three adjectives to be expressed,

some time to sketch and then materials to work with,

and they each have to come up with their

very own ice-cream cone artwork.

the above ones are from the first

gelatology workshop, but there's more to come!

next up, on 23rd march in bologna, italy.

read all about gelatology here,

and check out all the gelatos
