Stay It, Type It and Share It With Style PART2

This is another batch of lovely words expressed in a lovely fashion that have rolled my way.

This was my fist batch.

I wish I knew/could find all the artists responsible for them...

Marit Fujiwara+Julie Krakowski= Divine Textile Design

I don't like to sew. I reallllly don't like to sew.
I only choose to sew if I have envisioned something I must create(..like jewelry or a bag of my own design) and I'm in the mood. I love to draw because when I plant my black pen on the page I get instant gratification. I have complete control over the piece's success or failure.

When I'm sewing I have to find a 'nice' machine to work with, approach the machine with caution, make sure it has what it needs/wants to function and then I can proceed with my project. For me, 87% of the time the machine throws a tantrum and what should take moments to finish takes hours...or days.
School has taught me this.
This is why I don't like to sew and which is why I have a great deal of respect for those who have mastered it and can literally sew fibers into works of art. Although the machine creates the piece, the design of the textile gives life to it.

Exquisite textiles, such as these, are what makes the fashion world go round.

Innovative textile design dramatically influences and inspires style trends and collections far beyond the fashion industry.

When first I came across Marit Fujiwara's work (awhile back via the lovely Ms. Susie Bubble ) I couldn't quite grasp its exquisite detail. My eyes had to take it in doses and it took quite some time for my eyes to adjust to it's many levels.
Her work is gloriously 'overworked' and has incredible flow. Creating such soft, organic and 'light' beauty is rarely accomplished from textiles with sooo much depth and detail.
This is what makes her a master of her craft.
I agree Susie, All Hail Marit Fujiwara.

CreativeMinds: Christian Hansen+Tang Chan

I love these photos because of their soft peaceful electric feel.
Saturated photography is one of my favorite desserts.

Thanks Christian Hansen and Tang Chan for capturing, posing and doing what you love to do.

CreativeMind: Glynis Selina Arban

I think I'm in love. That's all I have to say about Glynis Selina Arban's photographs.

 I wish I had wallpaper of her latest work because the colors could make any room glow.

 This self taught photographer also has a B.A in literature, writes, paints and lives in Brooklyn.

That's another place I need to walkabout in 2010 ASAP.

...the reasons to I'd like get to NYC keep are piling up...

Dear Glynis Selina Arban,

Your work is lovely. Your outta sight.

CreativeMinds: Helmo + Chiddy Bang

Creative minds think alike and when they come together with a common

vision in mind, sparks tend to fly.

 Meet the french design/photo duo Thomas Couderc and Lenient Vauchez behind Helmo.

From what I can understand (with the help of a translator), in 2002 Thomas Couderc, Lenient Vauchez and Thomas Dimetto worked together. But in 2007, they split and Thomas Couderc and Lenient Vauchez created Helmo, while Thomas Dimetto developed Tburo.

"Bêtes de mode" (Beasts of fashion), created by Helmo, are some of my favorite images of 2009/10.

These are magnificent. They unify my greatest inspiration/s.

Nature's incredibly intricate beauty + mode of all sorts.

Be sure to check out allll their work! Helmo is outta sight.

Let's got to the Supermarket!!

I'm not typically an online shopper because I prefer to touch and try things on before I purchase them, but some of the goods sold at the Supermarket are just too good to live without.

I'm obsessed with both minimal and extravagant jewelry.

22Design Studio's rings are simply divine. I want them all.

These pieces by Trashy Deluxe speak for themselves.

So do these T-shirts by Paperwhite Studio

 

See, wear and share the NYC skyline with MOA's lovely ring.
