Revisiting slow crafter, needle-felter, illustrator and puppet stop-motion video artist, Hine Mizushima. The Japanese born Vancouver-based designer has exhibited her felt designs in galleries internationally. Using felt and fabric she creates sculptural works of mushrooms, insects, sea creatures, often a tribute to less popular life forms. You can see more of her work on Behance and purchase felt creations and prints on Etsy and Society6.

Mondocherry is a homeware store located in Malvern, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The company is the conception of two sisters, Clare Scholes and Joy Stewart, along with their mother, Sue Hopper. They launched their store to showcase original designs as well as work from other international designers and artisans. We particularly like their range of layered hand cut paper shapes formed into a sculptural piece and framed in a shadow box. You can follow them on Facebook and see their range of products on Instagram.

Been wanting to try arm knitting for sometime and now have found two items, carpet and bean bag, that we would love to make. Berlin-based product designer, Andrea Brena, has created ‘Knitted Army’, a collection of woven furnishings using discarded fabric strips collected from textile factories in Italy. Fortunately, one outcome of Brena’s colorful and tactile collection is the revival of the art of arm knitting and crochet.
