Clova Knits From Scotland

I'm smitten by these cheerful hand-knitted cushions by Clova Knits. The artist works with multicolored lambswool, spun in a mill in Scotland.

Anna See

I'm loving these illustration by Anna See, an artist and freelance designer based out of California. I enjoyed reading Anna's refreshing and encouraging bio on her website which I'd like to share here with you all. Anna shares "After often being admonished for “being all over the place,” Anna finally realized that it’s okay to challenge yourself and explore, and that versatility can be a strength. “Style should not drive the picture; the picture should drive the style.” I agree with Anna, it is okay to try different things and doing what you feel is right, doing what inspires you. Do you agree?

Happy Weekend + Collection: Red, White & Blue

I shall end this week with this collection of red, white and blue to celebrate the 4th of July. Wishing you a great weekend of friends, watermelons, popsicles, parades and fireworks!

Helen Dardik is one of my favorite illustrators, and I can't seem to have enough of her lovely pattern designs.

A Round Family

I'm not a big fan of figurines, but this owl family is so adorable. These little round guys with pointy noses, spiked hair and big eyes will look perfect on a bookshelf. The family is designed and made of porcelain stoneware in Italy.

Keds Shoes

Keds is popular for making casual shoes with fun prints. These are perfect if you are going for an easy, comfortable summer look. I can see myself wearing these sneakers everyday! What do you prefer as your summer wear - sneakers or sandals?

Kenojuak Ashevak's was Canada's one of the most well-known and acclaimed inuit artists. Her work can instantly be recognized by bold shapes, bright colors and brilliant compostion. She did several drawings for Canadian stamps and coins and her "Enchanted Owl" was adorned on a six-cent Canadian postage stamp in 1970. Amongst many other honors she was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame. More pieces can be viewed at Burdick Gallery.
