ElizabethCookLove the simplicity of these home furnishings created by UK-based textile artist, Elizabeth Cook. Each item is made from felted, recycled wool and reclaimed fabrics embellished by both machine and hand stitched techniques. She says this of her work:

“Ideas for my work come from observations of the natural world – leaves, pebbles and weathered objects and my interest in pre and post war British artists and designers. Inspiration stems from my sketchbooks as well as my ever-growing collection of found objects.”

Found these fun bow ties on Japanese handmade site, Minne. Function is very unisex as the ties can be taken apart and used as a pin to attach to your hat or tote bag. The unnamed designer sells the ties under the brand, You and Tie by 0810, and can be followed here on Twitter.
