You have to really get up close to fully appreciate the detailed work in these large scale installations, sculptures and wall art,
the creations of New York-based artist, Ran Hwang.  Originally trained as a realist artist, Hwang uses thousands of colorful threads, buttons, beads and crystals attached with long pins to create her incredible pieces. She describes the process as a form of meditation with the repetitive action and concentration evoking a Zen-like discipline.

You can view more of her work on her website.

Loving these quirky handcrafted jewelry available in the Etsy shop, Breadcrumb Crafts.  The illustrated jewelry are the creations of Berlin-based illustrator and crafter, Anna Tverdokhlebova.  The artist was born in St. Petersburg where her focus was on book illustration but gradually her hobby of jewelry making became her job.

You can see her illustrations, jewelry and ceramics on Tumblr, Instagram
and, of course, on Etsy.

Rob McMaster is a freelance illustrator, storyboard artist and comic creator from Aukland, New Zealand.  In 2015 he and his wife moved to Tokyo, Japan to learn more about the culture, design and people. Together they also found Neko Box, a ceramics and stationery brand curating ‘zakka’ goods for Japan-lovers worldwide.

We love the vintage/comic style of his work more of which you can view on his website, Behance and Facebook.
