Felt Trees

These cute felt trees were made by Amanda Carestio. Her designs can be found in this book.

You can find more info about her, as well as other neat stuff on The Long Thread Blog.

How I like Hope Gangloff's World...

One of my friends sent me a link to Hope Gangloff's drawings and I keep returning to them over and over again.



I find her work oddly moving.

(this one reminds me of Bjork's swan dress ... or women from Japanese woodcuts)




... and I just love her use of red against blue.

Lovely lovely drawings...

One of the reasons I love Etsy is because you can find so many wonderful handmade things and original works there.



I found these amazing drawings in Corid's shop.

There are so many others, too...











From top to bottom: Corid, Beth Fuller, Dead Pan Alley, Sara Harvey, Annette, Nan Lawson.

Felt Clouds, Bees, Birds...

These adorable creations can be found on Jenny's (Sea Pinks) Etsy shop. They can be pretty sweet at Christmas ornaments (and I'm all about handmade decorations this year).



Jenny's work is pretty special. I can't decide which I like best. Still, my two favorites have to be the felted clouds and the busy bee :)



I just love the raw handmade quality of these. They may look childlike and innocent, but I'm sure they took a lot of effort to create. That bee is just stunning!

These sweet creations were made by Amy Atlas. Her work is absolutely fabulous!!!
