Kayte Terry
Kayte Terry is living the life of my dreams! She's an artist first and foremost and she works on the most amazing creative projects as a freelance stylist and visual merchandiser in NYC! Her clients include the likes of Anthropologie, Brooks Brothers, Adorn, and Craft Stylish Magazine. I am eagerly awaiting her new book, Complete Embellishing, due out next month (pre-order here). Here is but a teeny-weeny sampling of her extraordinary portfolio of artwork. Care to crush out on Kayte with me? Visit her blog This is Love Forever, her Etsy shop, and her new series of posts for Craft Stylish here! Her imagination rocks my world! xo

Leslie Hall
Amy Zurcher of shopSCAD introduced me to the work of Leslie Hall, an artist best known for her flashy gold pants and killer hand-beaded gem sweaters. She is also an awesome rapper/singer, performance artist, and painter! She paints incredible backdrops for her performances which she later sells. A few are still available here and here! I'd wear gold lame everyday for an original Leslie Hall painting! Check out all her sites and videos for a huge dose of mid-western mayhem! Don't miss the Gallery of Glamore! (I swear I recognize some of them!)
