I can’t stop myself from jumping, late, onto the Ikat bandwagon. I love that the design is created by dying either the warp or weft of a weave, such a simple change that creates such a distinct, painterly look. In this month’s Elle Decor I came across one I had never seen before from Brunschwig […]

I was re-discovering Nest yesterday and came upon Kate Henri’s amazing handwoven pillows on their site. Nest’s mission is to connect women through art, craft and opportunity. A great concept that they back up through a sort of “pay it forward” system whereby designers select one or two products of theirs to have the proceeds […]

This weekend I was down in Baltimore for my brother’s fiance’s bridal showers. I met my mom on the train from New York to Baltimore as she was down in Philadephia to see various art exhibits with my father and uncle and aunt who were in from San Francisco. She immediately started showing me photos […]

I couldn’t stop myself from continuing to explore the Fashioning Felt artists – I have to share Ursula Suter’s work. All I can think is that my surface design professor in college would have been blown away by these pieces. All of these pieces are from her Cooper-Hewitt exhibit. Close up – the light behind […]

On mine and Charlotte’s epic journey through ABC Carpet and Home last weekend we also rediscovered John Robsaw Textiles – essentially an Indian block printing textile and bedding company that has tapped into some of the best patterns and resources available. A great little stripe. Shall pattern – terrific. Very Sonia Delauney. A pillow selection. […]

At the risk of giving away Brooke’s birthday present I wanted to post about NeckLush. I saw this product on DailyCandy as a part of a curated online shop I believe and was really taken with not only their patterns but also their patent pending style. I like the tribal and organic pattern choices and […]

I’m not sure how I found out about Carrie Ungerman the other day but I can’t stop looking at her works. In comparison to the world of Extreme Knitting she utilizes very modest, fluid, delicate lines to create large scale works. I particularly like her use of threads, while again in large quantities, they have […]

Once again I got a great tip from my mom – to check out Rachel John – a UK-based “extreme knitter” who recently knit  1,000 strands at once to make essentially a mattress out of yarn. If you haven’t already seen the video it can be seen here and is really well done. Rachel also […]

While I’m partial to Dash and Albert for their sturdiness and cost-effective pricing I also love Madeline Weinrib’s rugs for their design and durability too. My friends Samantha and Leah have several of the pink Brooke rug in their apartment and it’s elegant while not being too loud for their space. As a huge fan […]

My mom has a habit of seeing artwork she likes and blowing it up to paint onto either a huge canvas or a folding screen – really anything she can find. She has done it with Sonia Delauney works and others. When I came upon Kim Parker’s designs I was immediately struck by how similar […]
