This picture is perfection: the tumbledown wood, the yarn-roof, oh!

Incredible, inspiring embroidery by an early 20th century textile artist. Please check out “Goat Tree”. Seriously.

1. Yoran Morvant

a very lovely online shop, known as ashes and milk, has a great great list of craftspeople. One of them is Yoran Morvant who showcases a collection called Pierre Graphiques. Yoran, an architectural draftsman by trade, makes these beaaauuutiful drawings on stones!!!

2. Heather Smith Jones

skills! i’m totally into obsessive, repetitive, labour intensive craftwork, and it’s obvious in Heather’s pinhole technique.

3. Tinctory

I first discovered her smocked jewelry pieces when Karyn purchased one and have been following Evan’s flickr ever since. Her dyeing swatches here, here and technique are amazing! one day i will have my own…but it’s so hard to choose which one!

4. Miki Sato

Miki was one of the artists suggested through our local illustration call. I personally like her style because it’s sweet and her colour palette is soft, uses a lot of pastel, and neutral colours.

5. 1000 journals

this website made me very happy. it’s added to my list of sketchbook obsessing sites!
