Cocoon Designs

Wowee! After posting about Charlotte's thrifted sweaters I just found these awesome fiber works made from thrifted sweaters and other vintage threads on Etsy from Cocoon Designs. All I know is the artist is from Evanston, Illinois and her first name is Karna! She is currently working on a show and promises to complete her profile shortly! Most of these are 'made to order'. She's also created a motley menagerie of stuffed animal-doll friends-see her shop here!

Thrifted Sweater Bundles!

I had been admiring the Flickr portfolio of Alicia Paulson of the famed, Posie Gets Cosy blog and was smitten with her Sweater Redux handbags-when I remembered that another amazing artist I follow-Charlotte Lyons of House Wren Studio had just announced she was parting with her assortment of vintage felted sweater remnants this week on her etsy site! These sweet bundles could be used for a million different projects- bags, pincushions, felt dolls, ornaments... hurry! They'll be gone soon!

Clever Nettle

I love these sweet little works of art by clevernettle artist, Anja Louise Verdugo-if that indeed is her real name(seems too good to be true!) They are 4"x 5" ink and pencil on paper available in her etsy shop. She also has a cool vintage supply shop here. Visit her blog too!

Margaret Oomen

Flickr is so cool. I came upon this incredible 'ship jacket' by one of my flickr contacts- the very talented fiber artist, Margaret Oomen. She shares images of her projects on flickr and her great blog, resurrection fern. She took her daughter's old Gap linen jacket and made the original work you see below. Visit her blog for more about the inspiration behind the design.

Songbird and Yarn Wreath

Ok- Last one for now! This one uses more stripey hand-spun yarn by Knitty Dirty Girl! Trying to figure out what else I can make with this great yarn! My next project is to make kits for these wreaths. Everything would be included- the straw wreath base, batting, ribbon, yarns, hook, vintage embellishments, and directions. They would have to be limited edition- but what do you think? Would you be interested in one? I'd appreciate any feedback on this! I've never made a kit before! Have a great weekend! xo

Jennifer Murphy

I've been looking at my favorite websites to figure out which way I want to go with mine and I had to mention Jennifer Murphy's! She uses a super easy-to-navigate layout and I love how she incorporates her doodles and handwritten bits along with her images-overall very homespun and very Jennifer! She also shares lots of vintage goodness on her inspiration page, as well as images of her lovely and tidy studio! You can easily purchase her original works (if any are left!) or be directed to an online shop that sells her licensed work here. I love love love it all!! Click on the highlights or images to be directed to her website.
