I recently came across the shop of talented artist, Tess Carter. Her paintings are full of life! I love the vibrant colors and freedom of strokes. You can't just look at one; her little fashionista's draw you in and you can't help but look at more. And another cool thing, you get to purchase the original painting for an affordable price! Awesome!

Introducing Tom Bjorn Designs

{Morning forest - Crocheted necklace/bracelet}

{Happy necklace/bracelet}

Beautiful and versatile jewelry is found in Tom Bjorn Designs shop. The talented designer stated, "I was born in Russia, Moscow, where I lived for 14 happy years feeling crafty. Next 12 happy years I spent in Israel, where my craftiness though still on the surface was on a standby mode. And here I am in Stockholm - the most beautiful city in the world. It inspires me, gives me feedback and a lot of motivation to crochet, knit, and make other people even happier!" I love the fact that you can use your imagination and figure out new ways of wearing these lovely crocheted necklaces every time you wear them. Not only is the designer creative but the person wearing the lovely finds is encouraged to be creative as well.

Allow your mind to wander when traveling through Tom Bjorn Designs! Enjoy!

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time! I've been busy with family (absolutely loving having my six month old nephew and his mom back in the states for a little visit!!!) and getting ready for a craft/art show this coming Saturday. I'll be displaying many of my art prints found HERE as well as some of my newly created headbands, shown above. There are a variety of kinds as well as sizes. The sizes range from baby to adult and they are just the cutest things modeled! Yeah, I'm pretty excited about them! I have several new creation ideas, some involve me learning new techniques but I'm having fun and can't wait to share more with all of you soon. I hope to be back next week to share more talented folks with you!
