Michael Pickl

Michael Pickl’s education consist of state vocational school for wood sculpturing as well as sculpting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg.  After ten years of education in Germany he has developed a bond between man and the material of wood through art.  He creates sculptures of plain contemporary men and women, as we can see daily on the streets, presenting them in moments of relaxation and happiness. His work is not detail oriented but each of his sculptures bears a different, yet always powerful emotion.  The artist lives and works in Upper Palatinate, Germany.

More of his work can be seen on his website and is represented by Galerie-Hegemann, Germany.

Love these nature and folklore inspired hand painted wooden brooches and ornaments created by Riga-based illustrator, Diana Renjina. The wooden pieces are made from birch plywood delicately painted with acrylic paint and varnish.  Her main artistic focus is illustration but also wants to explore graphic and web design freelancing on a variety of projects.  

More of her work can be viewed on Instagram, Behance and Facebook.  Her brooches and illustration prints can be purchased in her Etsy shop, Knee Deep in a Cold Sea.

We are always on the lookout for crochet projects and found these great snowflake wall decor on Etsy. They are the creations of Lithuania-based couple, Audruis and Virginija and sold under the brand name, Woodstorming. They are known for their handmade wood creations of ring boxes, office accessories and home decorations but our eyes gravitated towards their crochet and wood hangings.

You can follow the couple on Facebook and Instagram. Their items can be purchased on Etsy and Big Cartel.
