Seema Krish

SeemaKrishAdmiring the vibrant fabrics created by Bombay-born textile designer, Seema Krish. She creates contemporary designs that are combined with traditional textile making techniques such as hand block printing, screen printing, embroidery, shibori and weaving. Often the techniques are utilized in combination. The company’s mission statement describes her work more precisely:

“Our mission is to enhance the lives of the users and producers of our products that are simple, beautiful and luxurious; as well as environmentally and socially conscious.”

BurkatronFound this great weekend project from the blog Burkatron and we can’t wait to try it. Just need cement mix, sand, water, two round plastic containers, soil and your favorite succulents, of course. The complete tutorial for this industrial planter can be found here on Caroline Burke’s blog.

Evan Lorenzen

EvanLorenzenProof again that many ‘good things come in small packages’. Take these incredible tiny books created by Colorado-based illustrator and animator, Evan Lorenzen. The seven-page books are hand sewn and are no larger than 1 inch tall. The small illustrations in these one-off books are done in pen and ink and to date there are seven books in this series. Anxious to see his next edition.
