Art by Jennifer Allevato

by

Happy Friday! Today I’m featuring work from Jennifer Allevato’s Etsy shop.  She creates lovely gifts (my favorites use felt) using embroidery hoops! So the other day I was reading this post that experimented (super successfully) with embroidery on tea towels, when I got really inspired to search this craft on Etsy and Pinterest! I came across Jennifer’s shop and knew it would be perfect to feature on this blog.
She draws, paints, and embroiders, and it’s obvious she enjoys working with color. I really like that she mixes her experiments in painting with her sewing.
I love the mixed media featured on her hoops and wall art!
There are feathers embroidered…
 …Personalized wedding gifts (seriously, if you know someone getting married, do this! I loooove it),
… Custom state memorabilia (I’d get Washington state obviously)…
and other cute art pieces!
I really admire embroidery because all the thought and patience it takes shows. If you have the skills, the possibilities are unlimited.

Jewelry from Tentative Decisions on Etsy

by

Etsy shop Tentative Decisions, based in Manchester, England
These are just a few of my favorite necklaces from this shop (though I do love almost everything featured). Kay’s shop features necklaces, bracelets, rings and more. I think my two favorites are the calcite nugget necklace (first photo) and the geode slice necklace with vintage chain (last photo). 
This handmade raw crystal jewelry is so unique and have the most amazing patterns and details. They’re just beautiful little slices of the world that you can wear around your neck!
One of my absolute favorite things about this shop is that most of the chains for the pendants are really long, over 20″.  Longer necklaces are in right now but I rarely see a Etsy shop that doesn’t require a customized chain (which usually costs more).
I also like that a lot of the jewelry is gold. I think it complements the gems nicely. These necklaces would be perfect for summer 🙂

Roominiscent photography

by

Today’s feature is an artist I recently discovered on Etsy, through someone in my circle. Who knew that circle thing would actually be so great? I used to think it was just a bunch of updates and “notifications” I didn’t need. The shop I found is roominiscent!
First of all, isn’t this a great presentation of dreamy Polaroid-style photographs?
Eunice is a super nice + talented photographer who hails from… Washington state a.k.a. the best state of them all. I love that she offers mini prints and greeting cards of these natural abstract and blurry scenes. They are truly miniature pieces of art. 
It is obvious she doesn’t just upload every photo she takes, but focuses on creating resonant prints. 
Be sure to check out Eunice’s shop here.

Fashion designer Chrystal

Today I am featuring another artist from Etsy on my blog. She also happens to be another international artist, just like last week, but Marika is from Athens!  I am really excited for this feature because I have admired her handmade dresses and skirts for a long time now! (One of those people who are on your favorites or  Pinterest forever).
First of all, I just love the aged looking photographs used in some of the shop’s photos. But I also love that there are more “product” type photos, so it seems like you really know what you get with each item.
I love the mixture of fabrics and styles – lace, stretch, velvet, asymmetrical designs, etc. The pink velvet mini dress and the blue polka dot dress featured here are my two favorite items! What are yours? 
Check Chrystal out on these websites, you’ll be glad you did! Their website also has a beautiful look book and interesting blog.

Photographer violet d’ art

by

Today I am featuring photography from the shop violet d’ art! Violet is a photographer in Bulgaria specializing in nature, vintage inspired art, still life + more. 
I love the different textures she enhances her already pretty photos with to give them a nostalgic and dreamy feel. I’ve seen a lot of photographers with a dreamy style, but Violet really sets herself apart with her mix of nature (I love nature photography), people, and still life. I also love how she masters light in both bright, natural settings and low light settings. Make sure to visit her shop to see almost 200 items featured!
