I love the natural feel of DiTerra’s pottery. The crafter notes: “I enjoy pottery because of it's calming affect, I love sitting at the potter's wheel and watching the clay transform into something new. Pottery is so cool because you start the process with a block of clay and finish with a beautiful and functional piece of art. I especially love decorating and glazing my pieces. It's always fun experimenting with different glazes and slips (liquid clay applied like paint) because you never really know how it's going to come out of the kiln! Every time I get a new batch of pieces done, it's like opening presents at Christmas. I'm always excited to see what unfolds.”
In DiTerra online shop clay is transformed into beautiful, unique pieces. Everything is made traditionally on a potter’s wheel and gradually transformed into the desired shape.

Beautiful, detailed, alternative creations by Despotnia, an accessory brand founded by Despina Kilakou in Athens.
In her online shop you can browse through a variety of handmade, high quality, unique pieces that are certain to get your attention, especially if you’re a fan of romantic / gothic styling. Evi Skarvelaki, the designer of “Evisk Accessories” brings us a fabulous girly chic handmade collection for Spring – Summer 2010! Happy colors and playful patterns along with attention to detail are the ingredients of her eye catching creations.
I particularly love her dotty and comic inspired clutches! Jacqueline Rose is the designer behind Lamixx, an independent fashion brand created from a vision for wearable, alternative and original clothing.
Inspired by vintage styles and with a natural earthy palette Jacqueline creates truly elegant pieces of high aesthetics and attention to detail and quality. Such an amazing idea and such a fantastic outcome! In Tresija’s online shop you can find these original and oh so cool bracelets made out of old records. Vinyl is manipulated into various imaginative shapes while still hot and all pieces are hand cut and formed by the designer. London Particulars is a steampunk studio focusing on jewelry and art. The detail of their handmade pieces is simply incredible!
Here I present you some of their eye-catching designs but make sure to check out their online shop for more steampunk inspired pieces. Just the names of these fabulous hats drive me crazy! “Mini Victorian Mourning Tricorn”, “The Beaux”, “Mini Rhinestone Top Hat”, “Victorian Goth Top Hat” and so many more. Kim Brown-Dye is the name of this talented costumier and designer of Topsy Turvy who creates each piece from scratch and takes care of each tiny detail! Sarah is the crafter behind Beat Black, a very original gothic orientated shop in Etsy. Working with clay she creates unexpected pieces that will surely gain attention! Guaranteed to love her creations, especially if you are a zombie & horror lover! An enchanting collection of whimsical creations sculpted in paper mache and handpainted by a true dreamer!
As the artist of Sweet Bestiary notes: “Each of those little beings is a bit of a beast. Be they quasi-animal or completely human. Something about them disturbs me -and touches me, at the same time. Bestiary is the title of my favourite story by Julio Cortázar, my favourite writer”. Young Lorena, the designer of Spin Thread creates original geometrical hand embroidered art jewelry!
Interesting forms and colors are combined in these patterns, assuring that these pieces will gain the attention they deserve. A very cool collection indeed! |
