Fringe

About the Artist:  "My love for yarn and design are intertwined. Together they weave a story that I then write with my knitting needles and crochet hooks.  Welcome and thank you for visiting Fringe, a crossroad of old and new, proper and defiant. I am happy you're here. Fringe is my line of handmade items dear to my heart. These items are hand-crocheted, knit, sewn, and/or embroidered with care. My creations are original designs I create and they include scarves, cowls, neck ruffles, capelets, shrugs, shawls, couture brooches, boot ruffles, necklaces and more. Expect an occasional surprise among the items I create. There are many types of styles in my shop. From high drama couture fashion to urban prairie and lots of styles in between. I always create these items with the idea that they will give their owners self-confidence just by wearing them."  To visit the artists shop, click on the post title above.

Lai Grai

From the Studio:  "Lai Grai & Friends is channeling the perfect imagined countryside. the place you always wished you grew up, with accessible wonderful markets, teeming with fresh foods and inspirational smells and sights. it is the just-right, layered bohemian in us all- the precisely pieced outfit, that looks just so effortless- unique with each addition of color and accessory. the parisian adorations, of rough hewn wood and elegant farmhouse decor- the perfect porcelain matched with blooms of ranunculus in an aged patina vase- next to your grandmother's delicately hand embroidered linens. sipping tea while sitting on oversized ikat pillows, under your favorite glowing moroccan brass and copper lanterns, enjoying the eastern colors. it is being able to mix and match all of these inspirations without worry- letting each aspect flow into the other."

Lizzie Bean

Statement from the Artist:  "I'm in Shropshire, England, enjoying making lovely things from natural materials & collected scraps. I'm really into texture, fabric, pattern, paper, wood and wool, above all in natural colours and with natural earthy textures. I'm an aspiring fibre artist, greenwood worker - turning bowls, making stools and rustic chairs etc.. I paint watercolour landscapes whilst out on walks...I sew, spin, knit and weave...and oh and I make old fashioned-looking paper decorations."
