The Northern Ireland textile artist graduated from Belfast School of Art and specializes in hand, machine and multi-needle embroidery.

These drawings are the creations of Paris-based artist, Francois Avril, who began his career as an illustrator for press magazine, advertising and edition. He has also illustrated children’s and comic books. His themes are mainly urban and his style has been described as “frail line†creating an atmosphere rather than portraying reality.

Found this jewelry and curtain tassel collection in Japanese online store, Somewhere. We don’t know much about the artist known as ARKO. We do know from her bio that she began her artistic career in 2002 and started making accessories in 2006. She also writes this about her work:
“I create the accessories by combining the materials that I’ve found in different countries around the world, and others that I’ve encountered in my daily life. I titled these accessories MELTING POT. The object mixed and combined with a lot of different things beyond time and boundaries is very unique looks, and make us feel that coexistence of various races and their cultures is wonderful. All works are unique and handmade by ARKO.”
