What’s not to love about microscopic, nature-inspired lasercut metal and wood veneer? That’s what I thought, nothing! I was so psyched to find the work of Kari Lindstrom – she’s a Brooklyn-based artist who makes incredible pieces showcases the crazy patterns that nature comes up with.

Non-woven materials was the phrasing that caught my eye after first seeing Kaori Umeda’s work. What is non-weaving and how does it look so cool. The above is non-woven fabric so I take that to mean that it’s just shaped somehow into this form. In her artist statement Kaori simply says, “When I make my artworks, […]

I love items, art, products and more that are inspired by nature and Emily Miranda’s jewelry takes that love to a new height with literally putting nature on your wrist, finger, neck, etc. That’s a bangle friends. Isn’t it glorious!? Shells, coral, leather, pearls, etc. What’s not to love? Emily’s work is all made in […]

Sometimes I come across an artist who makes a variety of works but I’m particularly drawn to one – such is the case of Lauren Kussro’s barnacles – they are awesome and remind me of Emily Barletta’s crochet domes. The below piece, with those vibrant colors, stretches across a huge wall – these are not tiny! I […]

I’m back on the jewelry bandwagon and recently learned about the young and awesome, Daisy Knights, a British jewelry designer who has had a quick rise to fame it seems like. Her work is sold all over, including on Net-a-Porter, which is really awesome as it’s so popular for shoppers! People probably know by now […]

Tomorrow is the Whitney Museum’s annual art party, which also has an auction component. I was going through the art that they’re auctioning and came across the artist Michele Oka Doner who I can’t believe I didn’t know about before. Her work is also inspired by nature, she also makes large scale figural works as […]

Based in Australia, Dinosaur Designs brings together a lot of things I’m into. The company was founded in 1985, the women who founded it were students in art school together and they make pieces that are inspired by nature and its patterns – their most recent collection was on funghi. The lines encompass jewelry, textiles […]
