Etsy Take Five Tuesdays
It's never a challenge for me to locate gorgeous handmade work online, it is abundant! Would you like to see what's on the decor8 radar this week? Polaroid collage, print your own party, products that look to be straight out of Sweden, felt photography and boho jewelry are a few of my favorite things...
Megan Auman in Pennsylvania is so very talented, I mean look at her creations! They are what you'd imagine viewing at the Design House Stockholm or displayed at the ICFF. Her new home collection is all about openwork floral patterns and metal with most being made from laser-cut steel in her latest pattern, small cluster, and finished in either matte black or white powder-coat. (Powder-coat is like paint, only much more durable.) The storage basket, for my ever growing magazine pile, is my favorite of this collection -- I can't take my eyes off of it! I'd gladly own the pendant light too. Amazing! {blog} {flickr}
Lisa Teso is a creative mom who lives in Massachusetts and has a shop called Trampoline featuring her original Polaroid collages. Lisa sums up her unique work nicely, "Original collage created from too pretty to throw away Polaroid cast offs. They are studies in color, texture and nuance...peeks into everyday life."
Kima is the founder of Kup Kup Land who is originally from Barcelona now living in Athens. Her background is in graphic design and illustration though she loves to experiment with felt and photography too. She combines her felt creations with photography and offers unique prints. Not limiting herself to only wool, she has a fondness for tiny plastic animals and pastries as well (tiny animals are a current trend in independant photography, have you noticed?).
Wiyomu Jewelry designs pretty necklances and earrings as a hobby that seems to cater to the dreamer -- the bohemian girl at heart, the eclectic collector, the flea market junkie. So feminine and soft! {flickr}
Happy Papers is a good name for this shop as it's hard not to be joyous looking at all of this red and blue! Nesting dolls, owls, sheep, so many sweet themes to choose from. This shop features only work that you can download and print, which is great for those looking to save money and have instant gratification. Party kits, stationary sets, cards, tags, a to do list, bookmarks, birthday sets and more!
Thanks for joining me this week for another Etsy Take Five Tuesdays!
