Never tire of looking at Japanese cotton wash cloths called tenugui. There are a variety of uses for these fabrics but it’s the traditional and contemporary patterns to which we are drawn. These particular designs are sold under the brand and manufacturer, Hamamonyo, which you can find here in their online shop.

UK-based artist. Roy Tyson, creates images and installations using miniature figures. The miniature people known as Roy’s People, are hand painted to give them particular personalities that befit the setting being created. You can see more of his work on his website and you can follow him as well on Facebook. Here’s what he writes about the goal of his work:
“My work is all about trying to encourage everyone to see art in a different light. Sometimes, art can be boring, but I plan to challenge this by creating images that are intriguing, humorous, thought provoking and fun. I believe everyone can relate to my art in some way or another.”

Russian-born artist Ekaterina Panikanova arranges vintage books, notebooks and prints to use as an oversized canvas on which she creates her intriguing ink and acrylic paintings. The artist uses images to evoke recollections and thoughts inviting us to ‘read between the lines’. Really would love to see these up close.
