Giuliana Lazzerini
These enticing linocut prints are the works of UK-based artist, Giuliana Lazzerini. The Italian artist was greatly influenced by the time spent in her father’s mosaic studio in Italy where: “The Tuscan landscape and her childhood memories bear a strong influence on Giuliana’s work and her use of colour plays an important role in conveying emotion in all her subjects.†You can view more of her work including her paintings on her website and some of her prints are available here in her Etsy shop, The Bluebird Gallery. She writes this about her linocut process:
“I carve my linocuts and woodcuts by hand and ink them, then individually print them myself on a hand operated machine (printing press) and sometimes burnishing them by hand. This process is repeated for every colour as prints are made of 3/4 plates.â€

Plantillo
Berkeley-based owner, maker, curator and designer Sabine Hermann brings the outdoors in with her handmade decorative pillows sold on Etsy under the shop and brand name, Plantillo. The 2-dimensional images are custom printed on cotton canvas and the sewn shapes give the pillows their 3-dimensional look. Here’s what the artisan says about her process:
“I came up with the idea for PLANTILLO while walking through my neighborhood and surrounding hills in Berkeley, CA. I love to find interesting objects on my path, and I can’t resist stuffing them into my pockets and taking photos. My ever-growing collection of leaves, bark, pods, flowers, and logs have inspired me to turn my found treasures into home décor. It brings me happiness to both preserve nature and bring it into your home.â€
