Little Paper Planes Roundup

I am a huge fan of Little Paper Planes– my Louis Reith prints are some of my favorite pieces of art in the house.  Now that Lacey Richter’s works are coming down at Schatzelein, I was once again on the hunt for some art to frame and decorate the wall...

Studio Visit, Verena Junghans

After an afternoon of hiking and castle-ruin-exploring in Southern Germany, my aunt and uncle took us to a small gasthof and restaurant in Blaesiberg.  On the bottom floor was the inviting studio of porcelain artist Verena Junghans.  With such lovely and delicate pieces with colorful and organic details, we couldn’t...

Eames House

A few weeks ago we checked out the documentary Eames: The Architect and The Painter and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I am an artist and a designer, however, did not study “design” in school, so I really don’t have much context outside of general aesthetic appreciation for well designed objects.  The...

No Popcicle Sticks Here!

I found artist Jay Mohler today on Etsy and was floored when I started looking closer at his work.  The color attracted me immediately, but when I realize the scale and the intricacy I was even more impressed. Jay started making Ojos de Dios in his “hippie days” in the...

Some warmth for a dreary day

Happy New Year!  What an amazing week off!  I am now much more prepared to tackle spring with a little R&R with my man. So, back to the grind we go… I was perusing Miss Moss today {quite possibly my new favorite go-to blog} and came across Matthew Korbel Bowers. ...

Collective Community {Kiel Mead & American Design Club}

One thing I love about Austin is the community of creative, driven, intelligent, supportive, and compassionate individuals that all seem way too happy to help each other out.  It really is an entire philosophy where colleagues and contemporaries are not seen as competition but as friends, collaborators, and contributors to...

Mobiles {again!}

I love mobiles and have been on a kick for a while.  I recently purchased an amazing hand embroidered mobile from Specks & Keepings, hurriedly, in the final minutes of the Renegade Handmade Festival in Chicago {I had zero time to leave my booth, but it was probably a good...

I just sold the set of Louis Reith prints from the shop.  Although I was really sad to see them go, I am comforted by the fact that I have another set at home and am excited that now I get to find the next artist to put onto the...

Since I am thinking quilts, I immediately remembered my love for the quilts by the women of Gees Bend.   If you don’t already know about the quilts from Gees Bend, then I am excited to show them to you! In relative isolation, the women of Gees Bend, a small...

Amateur Couture

I have to thank Heidi for directing me to Amateur Couture today!  Lately I have been a bit of a hater on blogs that just re-post pictures without content or direction, however this site does it thoughtfully and with a purpose. Visually, it hits the mark but it also allows...
