embroidery artworks

Posted on November 17, 2010 by danielle| 2 Comments

Today I’m loving … these Abstract Landscape Embroidery Artworks from Etsy seller Erin Dollar. This embroidery is hand stitched onto a piece of fabric that has been silkscreened with a detailed white abstract foreground. The embroidery pattern mirrors the white screenprinted shape in an organic way, and was embroidered freehand.

horse swing made from a recycled tire

Posted on November 11, 2010 by danielle| 3 Comments

This horse swing also looks great indoors! It is constructed entirely out of recycled rubber tires. The only thing on this horse that isn’t made of tires is his charming mane which is made from rope. The swing is available from Le Souk.

another country

Posted on November 9, 2010 by danielle| 5 Comments

Another Country makes contemporary craft furniture. Their designs are archetypal, calling on the familiar and unpretentious forms of British Country kitchen style, Shaker, traditional Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork.

All their beautiful pieces are made from solid wood and produced by hand in a small workshop in Dorset, England. One of my favorite pieces is this day bed made from solid European oak.

Another Country has taken familiar forms of craft furniture and pared them back to their most basic elements and made them using the most efficient workshop techniques and the best quality wood.

Each furniture piece is made in a way that limits wasted material and time , that is easy to transport (flat-pack for large pieces) and versatile (meaning your furniture gets more than one job done). And the good news is: they ship world wide! Visit their website for more information.
