rRradionica

rRradionicaThis impressive collection of fiber art jewelry is the creation of a group of very talented Serbian family that includes the mother, Margita, and her three daughters, Mariajana, Hristina and Aleksandra. They employ a variety of traditional techniques of crocheting, knitting, hand weaving, embroidery, and felting to create these colorful and timeless accessories sold under the brand, rRradionica. The pieces are embellished with paper, vintage beads, bamboo beads and fabric covered buttons. Amazed at their success given the fact that they live in a country where supplies and services are often limited. You can view more of their designs on their blog and can also follow them on Facebook. Their jewelry can be purchased here on Etsy.

The North Carolina-based designer creates these large pieces using different materials – cotton, feather, faux fur, embroidery thread and painted fabric. The pieces are sold here in her Etsy shop, which is currently showing a sculpted poppy that may be the start of a botanical series. Anxious to see her impending creations.

Tripasai Architect

Tripasai-ArchitectPegboards has a new function for me now after seeing this embroidered wall decor created by multi-disciplinary design studio, Tripasai Architect.  The wall is a series of tiny dots embroidered with colorful cotton yarn in rhomboidal shapes transforming into leaves and flowers. The walls enhance the entry lobby of a Bangkok private residence.
