Satsuma Street

Satsuma-StreetA friend of ours posted an embroidery design created by Jody Rice on Facebook today. We liked the design so we thought we would follow up on her other creations. The Los Angeles-based artist has worked as a costume designer, graphic designer and craft designer for 15 years. She felt there wasn’t enough contemporary cross stitch pattern so she created her own designs and opened her very successful shop on Etsy called Satsuma Street. She has created a popular series called, Pretty Little City, but our favorite pattern is the ’row of trees’ pillow.

Tammis Keefe

product branding by signing her artwork in the corner of the textiles. You can view more of her
work here at tammiskeefe.com and here at nwfestival.com.

Anne Ten Donkelaar

AnneTenDonkelaarIt’s spring and a good time to revisit the floral 3-dimensional collages of Dutch artist, Anne Ten Donkelaar. The artist uses pressed flowers, dried stems and cut flower images that are placed on pins to create a compelling depth that casts alluring shadows to these very intricate landscapes.
