Yumi Okita

Yumi-OkitaThese stunning moth and butterfly sculptures are the creations of Japanese textile artist, Yumi Okita. 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.

S.D. Evans Quilts

S.D.EvansQuiltWouldn’t at all mind having a couple of these quilts in my home. These minimalist designs are the creation of Brooklyn-base quilter, Season Evans. They are made by hand using natural fabrics and sold under the brand name, S.D. Evans Quilts. Love the simple patterns and the pared down approach to color that give these quilts a strong contemporary appeal.
