Treehugger posted about an amazing paper artist yesterday – I had to share her here as well – I hope you like Valerie Buess, a Swedish artist, as much as I do! She takes books, disassembles them and twists and shapes them to create sea-forms, a favorite here. I also love the photography on her site […]

Oh Pinterest, how I love thee – another day another inspiring piece of installation art! This time the artist is Wendy Wahl, who creates installation art pieces using recycled encyclopedias, world books, and dictionaries. How cool are those? They’re like trees made of paper…how meta is that? Wendy talks about it as a process of […]

I have no idea how I haven’t heard about New Orleans native, Zoe Williams, until this week – needlefelting to the limit, I love it. I must get 50 or 75 newsletters a day and there are some I never open but Lost at E Minor has some really crazy stuff and this week, Zoe […]

When I came across Andrew Myers work my first thought was, this is something I would see over at Colossal, one of my favorite art and design blogs. Andrew’s work takes such patience to create, screwing in the screws, painting them, making sure they’re even and at the right depth, etc. He’s great about showing […]

It seems like everyone else knows all about Petah Coyne, she has an amazingly informational Wikipedia page and tons of images on Google – I love it.  Her sculptures include tons of different regular and not so regular materials as well as taxidermy animals, wax, repetitive patterns, etc. You can see in this close up […]

We’re back from Scotland! It was an amazing trip and I saw lots of cool landscape, animals and architecture. As I was suffering overnight from some initial jetlag I came upon the art of Petah Coyne (more on that soon). In doing some research I ended up looking closer at the products and pieces of […]

I love art built in nature and on Pinterest the other day I came across Laura Ellen Bacon’s work from the UK. Her “Nests” are made from natural materials set in a way where people can interact with them within their surroundings. I love that you can’t really tell the difference between the leaves and […]

Next week I’m having people over for a non-profit meeting on Monday night and, as I walked out of my door this morning I thought, I hope no one cares about all of the animal-related items around the house. We have a cowhide rug and a paper maiche rhino head, ram’s horn lamps and impala […]

It’s been a crazy few weeks! We got back from Chicago and work, which is normally somewhat quiet around the holidays was anything but – more on that later! As a result I’ve been absent but it seems like my efforts to add SEO tags to my old posts is proving worthwhile – many people […]

Anchorage, Alaska born Kate Carr is an amazing sculptor who is all about her materials, which oftentimes is textiles, fabric, felt and other materials I love. Felt Coils, above is cut felt sewn together onto a plywood backing. It looks to me like rings of a tree, which I’ve seen people wet felt before in […]
