Jessica Faulk: Ceramics

Jessica Faulk is a pottery artist based in Houston, Texas. Her pieces are stunning and often feature fun, colorful designs inspired by children’s book illustrations, animals, folk art and lots of contemporary ceramic art. "Most of my works are functional and I love the idea that someone can use handcrafted art in even life’s most mundane rituals." I adore that owl alphabet plate. It'll look perfect in a kid's room. This weekend she will be exhibiting at Renegade Craft Fair in Austin, Texas on May 21 and 22. For more details, click here.

Have a great weekend!

I love this lace owl necklace inspired by 1960's-70's huge owl pendants by This Ilk. This vintage style necklace is made with hand dyed lace and available in 10 different colors here.

Free Alphabet Flashcards

 

 

 

 

Today's freebie is by Ashley who has made these alphabet flash cards and shared on her blog to download for free!  She calls them "alphafantastical" because these cards are a fantastic way to add an instant decor to any room of your house. These can be used to spell out your newborn's name and hung in the nursery wall. I  think those owls will also look great in a frame. Click here to download the cards.
