My wonderful friend Kay was the valedictorian this year at SCAD! Check out this fun video of her work that was shown at graduation.

I’m a sucker for geometric designs and I saw these quilts and coverlets on Design*Sponge by Rajboori, Stephen Burks of Readymade Projects and home textile industry veteran, Mitun Chakrabarti. The colors and shapes are beautiful! I have wanted a new quilt or comforter for so long now, but haven’t found the right one until now. Not sure of the retail price, but most likely out of my budget. See an image of a quilt in process here.

These are a few of my favorite things. I’m daydreaming about accenting my apartment.

1. Joe Colombo trolleys: You can find them for $150, but that’s about as low as it goes. I grew up with gray ones, but my mom won’t give hers up.
2. Marimekko Fokus Shower Curtain
3. & 4. Marimekko duvet covers
5. Urban Outfitters coat rack
6. Alexander Henry Sofia floral pillow cover
7. Alexander Henry pillow cover (can’t remember the style)
8. Urban Outfitters pod table
9. Marimekko kanteleen kutsu mugs
10. Urban Outfitters Suzani pillow

I saw Gran Torino today, which was really sad. The highlight of the movie for me was the glimpse of traditional Hmong attire and textiles in the neighbors’ house. The silver jewelry that they wear is beautiful and is supposed to bring good fortune. Look at the color and detail!

This is GREAT!

Thanks for sharing, lobsterparty! I like this one in particular. Embroidery by Takashi Iwasaki.

This is ridiculous… in a GOOD way. I’m not even listening to it with the sound on.

The National Gallery of Australia has a large collection of Anni Albers prints. From intaglio to screenprints and even embossments. Here’s a list of what they have.

With Jonathan’s upcoming solo show in November and my necklace orders, we’ve gotten a little messy.
