The number of basic origami folds is small, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The most well known form is probably the Japanese paper crane. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. (article from wikipedia)
A charming origami collection by Funny Sky! Her elegant creations are handmade using paper made in Japan and decorated with genuine Swarovski crystals and Japanese beads. Origami, (from oru meaning “folding” and kami meaning "paper") is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper.

Beautifully designed and crafted wooden brooches by Crafty Folk! Sarah sketches and illustrates her creations so her collection is unique and original. I have to confess that I adore the yellow typewriter! The artist lives and works in Portland, Oregon. Bunny with a Toolbelt is all about fresh, colorful sculptures made of wood. Handmade unique figures that would most certainly add to any collection.
Hilary, the talented crafter has experience in various art media and has created large scale installations for many art organizations. Okay, cuteness and typography make a killer combination! These original felt letter and number collection can be used in so many cool ways: as gifts, brooches, key chains or even as decorations if attached on a picture frame, hung on a door, placed on your window frame etc. The possibilities are countless! You just need some imagination and I’m sure you’ll be inspired by these colorful creations by MiChiMa! I love 80’s stuff. This is why I simply adore Brave Moonman’s creations! Zippered pouches in the shape of cassette tapes, Nintendo controllers and floppy disks! Made from wool felt and hand sewn. The detail and colors are just awesome! Have you ever imagined that you could dress your water bottle, an apple or even your baby’s bottle? I haven’t! That’s why I was pleasantly surprised when I bumped into HandaMade’s online shop in Etsy.
Super cute, original, hand made creations made out of wool, yarn and fabric. |
