Black Eyed Suzie

Wow after long hiatus I must apologize for being MIA for so long! I've been busy with "life" in general-- through a new job and losing 40lbs (and recording that on my other blog) I am going to attempt to be more regular on this blog!

Black Eyed Suzie creates the most ugly- beautiful dolls I've seen in a long time. The disheveled hair, bulgy sad eyes and stick thin figures make you just want to take em home and show them some love. The artist refers to her dolls as "Tattered Victorian Gothic" which I think explains them perfectly! Her 3 dimensional work reminds me much of the work of previously featured artist, Roadside Projects. Black Eyed Suzie will even custom create dolls to your specification (especially nice for slightly gothic special events like weddings). Chic Factor : 8.9

Fashion Prints!

Here is a sample of some work I've been doing--- the original idea was to create a nice juxtaposition of patterns vs. flat figures in interesting fashion statements... what came next was the introduction of the same concept to retro chic furniture.. let me know what you think? The fashion prints were recently in a show @ NVISION. -- Give some feedback-- good and especially bad!

Inspiration!

Some beautiful things to help inspire you.. the chair with the pillow has SUCH beautiful contrast of colors/ textures...

My New Favorite Shop!

One of my friends recently introduced me to a shop down town Cincinnati called "High Street" -- it had the most beautiful and unique items in it! Please visit the shop virtually if you don't have
the opportunity to do so in person!

Etsy shop : Branch Accessories

Today's featured Etsy.com artist is Branch Accessories who specializes in fused glass rings and necklaces. What I love most about this shop is the variety of colors on these oh so in chunky cocktail rings! What's even better is the price-- ranging from a mere $12 - 30-- WHAT A STEAL! All the rings are adjustable so you can switch them around on different fingers or hands-- perfect for borrowing your sister's treasure! Chic factor of 8.9!

The first Featured Artist : Judith of Some Pretty Things

I came across this artist on one of my favorite sites, Etsy.com . What drew me to Some Pretty Things is the sheer beauty of the purses/ clutches she makes. What I find most beautiful is the juxtaposition of prints between the in and outside of each clutch. The patterns are always vibrant with a graphical nod to Mod prints! Take a look for yourself! -- In my opinion we've reached a chic rating of 9.8!

Special Thanks to Judith @ Some Pretty Things for being brave enough to be our first!
