i’ve been wanting to post this rad clutch by my friend trisha allen of badfruit.
she makes killer purses, clutches, suitcases and pouches by pairing repurposed quirky toys with their destined purse, or the like. i am lucky girl to have two of her awesome wearables. you can contact her via etsy for your own!! FUN FUN!!!!
new drusy i have hangin’ on my bench for a few new wares!! yay to fun colors, shapes and textures!
love thistles….the one on the left is so beautiful just before it opens.
the last photo was taken on my folks property in illinois during our last visit home. they were everywhere in the fields. the first image is from our front yard. that plant is related to the artichoke and has edible leaves. i need to brave up and give it a whirl in the kitchen and see how it tastes…it’s the fuzziness that’s throwing me a bit!
new “seeded” wedding rings in progress….these babes will have small chocolate diamonds added amongst it’s existing texture! can’t wait to see these finished. i am loving these!! earrings in the works inspired by this design.
glass
dreamy piece of hemimorphite

i don’t have the source for these as i found them cleaning off my desktop……if you happen to know where they came from lemme now and i’m happy to post it here.
the last image is from the shop of lilian asterfield, boston artist. check out her amazing repurposed neck tie wares in her shop.

agate crystals

new favorite plant…the chenille plant. we got one of these for chris’ mom recently and i’ve been thinking about getting one to hang outside the studio. i love the colorful chenille cat-like tails that grow and frolic in the breeze. if you happen to get one for yourself just keep them out of reach from your pets. the blooms are poisonous to dogs.
oh, rocker dilemnia. i have been on the prowl for an old rocker and can’t seem to find one that’s all around perfect..comfy, tall back, modern, fun color, hmm!! the search continues.
if it were all about looks, this one is a beauty…found at belmodo.
