I love Giertz’s work… it was hard to choose which prints to show, but I really like these three mask-like prints.

What a nice day- I have been coming across some very great portfolios after feeling rather uninspired for a while…

I found this slim bow tie and this lovely sweater. The sweater is loosely crocheted mohair alternating with crocheted satin, with the satin crochet comprising the neckline and border as well.  It reminds me of a more traditional version of what Rodarte has been doing lately- very delicate and feminine.

So this year we decided to make Christmas presents for our families.  My husband and I hand-carved stamps and then decided on three colours to use for our layers, and came up with layouts for each of them.  It was a really fun process…  we were clearly feeling inspired by Native-American patterns.   This is the design we ended up with:

And here’s a glimpse of our process…

I love this totem print from this Etsy shop.

I love mobiles.  Perhaps this will be my next project.  Here are a few that I’ve been inspired by lately:
