Helen Frankenthaler

A friend and I were having a conversation last night about Helen Frankenthaler - a New York, colour field artist who was influential in the 1960's. She used to thin down her oil paints with turps to stain her canvases, creating really nice gradients between her colours. You can see more of her work and read about her here.

Digital lace

Here are some 3D works I made for a recent competition submission. Sometime in the near future they should exist as silk scarves. Larger versions of the images here. xxxx

Embroidered plastic shopping bags

It's great to see someone giving the plastic shopping bag some TLC, before they become a thing of the past. These are made by Josh Blackwell. Found via Banquet.

Bernhard Willhelm & Jutta Kraus

I just got the new book Bernhard Willhelm & Jutta Kraus, and in the same week found one of his dresses second hand. The middle image was taken from fashionising.com. It's part of his SS2010 collection. The other images are the front and back cover of the book. xxxx

Matohu

I was having a look around for nice screen-prints because of my course and I came across Matohu, who showed at Tokoyo Fashion Week, Spring 2010. I spent more time looking at the purple dyeing effects than the prints. Have to try it. Images via coolechicstylefashion. xxxx

Getting crafty

Started a screen printing course last week. Lots of fun but need to refine my sewing skills!

Here's some images from a book I got on the holidays: Paul Schuitema - Visual Organiser, and a link to it's review by Eye magazine. xxxx

Valentines Day

My friend Charlotte hosted a Valentines day morning tea through the week for the little ones. Very cute. xxxx
