I found James Spicer‘s work on Poppytalk Handmade, and boy am I glad I did! I could look at the pictures he takes for hours! I really love all the work with miniatures, and the colors that seem to predominate are fabulous. It would be nice to find myself in his mini world for a while. You should have a look at his blog too – his series “Today’s Look Through the Viewfinder” is going to keep me coming back.
See James’ shop on Poppytalk to buy prints!
I snapped a couple fun little shots of the silhouette meeting yesterday – it was another day of accidental matching!
Special buddies!
A quick shot of one of our silhouette walls – basically an inspiration board!
These amazing crochet artworks were created by Emily Barletta. I love them and how organic they are! They look like coral to me! In her interview on My Love for You, Emily says she is inspired by internal biological functions, organs, blood, cells, etc… Check out her site for more pictures of her work- she has a cute blog too!
Via this great interview on My Love for You is a Stampede of Horses.
Aren’t these so adorable!? I wish I had them sitting all around my apartment. Emily Sutton makes them, and she adds so many wonderful little details! You can see them all right here.
This sewn up sewing machine is so incredible! Made by artist Danny Mansmith, who has a history and a personal connection with the sewing machine as a means to make his art.
You have to check out his website and read his thoughts about art, and the inspiration behind creating things with your own hands.
Danny says, “My favorite sweater was one my grandma made out of a towel and embroidered a D. on it.”
Danny also says, “I love bad sewing. When you see something put together really roughly, you see—despite the individual’s apparent lack of skill and perfected technique—creativity.”

Last week I came across the artwork of Betsy Walton. (Sorry, I’m not sure where I found it! I just made a little note to feature her…)
What I love most about her gouache paintings is her color combinations. I also love how they all look like they are set in some kind of imaginary sea world. I even get that feeling when everything about the imagery says that it is set on land…
Check out her website and see all of her current projects and exhibitions, many of them in and around her home in Portland, Oregon. You can also buy a print or painting of your own at her etsy shop.
Thanks in part to HI+LOW, who found it, I have been combing the archives of Record Envelope all afternoon. It’s basically just tons and tons of pictures of old record sleeves – which it turns out is pretty interesting. The graphics are total eye-candy. Check it out!
Dutch artist Ferry Staverman makes these wonderful trees out of recycled cardboard and thread! Rag & Bone, which is where I discovered them, muses that he would like to live in an entire forest of these trees, and I wholeheartedly agree!
I recently came across the work of Ross Bleckner, and I can’t stop looking at his paintings! I really enjoy them – they take me to some other world… He has quite a portfolio! You can find out more at his website.
Craziness! La Machine, a group of French engineers, created this massive spider and placed her in Liverpool UK for a few days… The photo gallery on their site has pictures of the whole exhibit, with lots of cute shots of peoples reactions. Pictures above by Matthew Andrews.
