Textures Handmade Market

I love to see lines lines lines.  When I taught drawing at FSU I would lament over how wonderful lines are and how versatile they are.  This beautiful silkscreen fabric embraces all the loveliness I find in lines.  Summersville is a sweet etsy shop full of great prints on both paper and cloth.  The photographs of the pieces are also sweet.  Happy Thursday!

This is an amazing video that gets you close to the wonders of nature.  It is a collaboration between RISD and Etsy, and it is very lovely.  Here is a peak of the creatures you will see.

I love fabric and am quite positive many of you all do too.  There are so many lovely prints I adore but lately I’ve been taken with Pennsylvania Dutch.  Here is a composite by True Up- a great blog devoted to you guessed it fabric.  Check back with them on fridays for all the sales on the web.  Such a great resource!

I am a sucker for a cold evening and a fire going in the fireplace.  In fact, I repeatedly ask my hubby if we can make a fire every night.  I have used many a duraflame, but love a real fire – the snap and pop – the smell of wood.  So charming and cozy.  Since most of us here do not have fireplaces, I am a lucky one, we can make our own wonderous logs.  Or even if you do have a lovely fireplace, these would be cute as a stand in when a fire isn’t burning.  I found these on the Design Sponge blog and there is a tutorial for you eager hands.  Have fun and stay warm and snuggly.

I think that many of us get that uncanny itch to get up and go.  It is not always easy or affordable to travel, and I believe my favorite times have been on the open road.  Being able to look around, stop when you want.  Of course it is super fun to have your own camper, and one that you made yourself  – how incredible.  I am someone who wishes all my things that surrounded me were all handmade so this makes a big impact on me.  For a good read hop over to readymade where you will learn about this incredible handmade camper and the creative couple that made this.
