Art by crafty girls

Really, if i had money to spare i wouldn´t content myself with buying cute little stuff from fellow crafters, i would go all the way and buy some of their Art too: some of it is, to me, just as gorgeous, special and arty as the stuff you can find in an art gallery. I would love to decorate my walls with it!
Here is some of the artwork i secretly covet from cool girls all around the world:

Camilla Engman


cutest softie ever
Posted by HelloCamilla Engman has featured me in her links list! I mean, Camilla does know a thing or 2 ´bout style, right? But, even if she added me out of pure pity: thank u!
4 Things u should now about Camilla: 1.She has the stylishest blog, with fresh cute pictures everyday 2. She makes the cutest crocheted creatures which she sells at her shop; but u have 2 b quick, ´cos no sooner they´re out they get snatched by someone! 3. Her Month of Softies submissions are always superb(see picture above). 4. She has the most photogenic dog.

Show off!


A client asked me 4 a display 2 show off my stuff in her shop and i came up with this. I think it looks tolerably cute. Posted by HelloIt gave me the idea 2 offer similar displays 2 clients who buy a certain quantity of items; could b interesting...

The Sampler

Yay, my Sampler it´s here: it didn´t took so long after all. I had such a good time opening it and examining every little item carefully.
My fave by far was Forestprints´ cute poisonous mushroom: the item is simple but well made and full of charm and the label is gorgeous: looks so professional. I encourage u so much 2 visit her website www.forestprints.com charming!
Also quite good were Funky Utopia´s Hemp soap (and it smells so delicious!) - Her vintage´s heart keyring(which i got in militar geen and shocking pink) - Silvia Chenault´s heart felt brooch - Vintage Faerie´s pendant and jennicake´s notebook.
I also loved receiving the promos, especially the Miss Hawklet pencil: quite cool!
And, samplers i wish i got but i didn´t: My Paper Crane´s flower garden( i wanted it so badly!), a Frau Liebe´s patch, Pink Thread´s buttons or knitting kits, The Small Object´s book, Little Dear´s felt animals ( i wanted the bunny,boo!), as well as various soaps and lipbalms which i can´t get enough of. And a lot more!

The whole experience has been great, starting with the envelope which was stamped with hearts, and everything was in good condition: thanks Marie! Looking forward to the May Sample...

Natacha Matic


And 2day i´ve received this cute vase from Natacha Matic: a gorgeous french girl that creates lovely porcelain stuff. Posted by Hello I already own some of her extraordinary brooches: i think u could still find some chez Blissen as well as in her site Creation-NatachaMatic and don´t forget 2 have a look at her art: she does awesome sculpture and peinture!

Girls that rock my world!

Girls 2 watch...

The Small Object I love her web, it´s very dinamic, cute, well-made, with a lot of interesting things: raffle, giveaway, goodies...i love the money certificates! I don´t know, it´s full of good ideas...and the blog i´m very hook 2 it too: she´s always offering stuff 4 free and showing in every detail that she has a kind heart, besides great talent...i wish u good luck on your enterprise, Sarah!

Boy Girl Party Well, Susie is already very well-known as i see, but i only find her out lately: i love the stuff she makes, it´s different from everyone elses and very professional looking without loosing that beloved crafty look. The website is well laid out, clear and easy and with a sense of humour...Good!

Also i encourage u 2 visit Natascha S. Rosenberg´s website, she is a german illustrator, but most of her work was published in Spain were i think she lives or used 2 live: she graduated in Law in Madrid: i´m also a Law graduated!---Anyway, her work is charming, naive and professional and her softie 4 MOS was great!see it


Thank´s 4 sharing.

Cute lil´ Strawberrys


I made some more stuff 2 sell: couple of strawberrys. I made them in pink felt, pink vichy fabric, red vichy fabric... Posted by Hello

Month of Softies

I can´t believe it´s that time of the month...again...I couldn´t participate in Loobylu MOS project but that won´t restrain me 4 commenting on it:
There were fewer entries but cute ones as ever. My favorites were Camilla Engman´s (adorable !), Tsai-fi´s cute oriental girl and Jam Fancy´s (those huge black eyes!that dress completed with pencil pocket!that deer!). Also very interesting were the virtual girl by Allsorts, Natascha Rosenberg funny screenprinted one, Clare-Dirty Boots-Chadderton´s cute girl in a birdie dress and Sarah from The Small Object did great clothes for her doll. Also remarkable: Lyn Roberts´angry girl, Kraft-o-la´s, Pammymela´s blonde girl with huge eyes, Sewing Stars, Littlemunki, Bertha Crowley, Laura from Better Unsaid, Melissa from Sew Pretty, Buzville´s , Rhya, Jessica Borja, Fiona Dalton, Loosetooth,...
Congratulations 2 u all! It´s comforting 2 see there´s so many talented girls... U rock!

More shopping


I won this bag at eBay. I like Loop NYC. Now I´m looking forward to win the Courtney Bag, which is beyond cool! Posted by Hello

Shopping


I recently bought this t-shirt at Poti-Poti. Not only the screenprinting is cool (although it creakes and fades in some places), but the shape is also special, with puff sleeves and double layered cotton. Can´t wait ´till warm weather! Posted by Hello

PEACH


It´s icecream time! Posted by Hello
www.iespana.es/peach-moda
This is a project I did at art school: it´s called PEACH and it´s about a line of fun clothing for girls that are a little bit on the gourgeously plumb side of life.
I know, the web site is terrible, it´s full of banners, slow and badly designed, and the english version is dissabled; but I think there is one thing worth seeing: Miss Peach Goes Shopping it will take ages to download but it´s worthwhile ( i think!), and don´t forget to turn on the speakers ´cos it comes with sweet music! :*
