A walk in the wilderness by Carmel Walsh

“My shoes are made with vegetable tanned leather, walnut wood heels, fabrics including caucciu covered organic cotton, linen, raffia, hemp, bamboo and cork to support the forms. Fun ideas spring to mind with my collection, changing the seeds instead of shoes with the passing seasons. It is my hope that in their second life they will decay and grow as an art piece.

“Eatable of Many Orders” 

designers team couple from Tokyo.

the phrase “Eatable of Many Orders” comes from a story about a restaurant which gives orders to customers rather than taking orders from them. 

They're  using only natural ingredients for their collection, such as vegetable tannin leather, mochi-rice glue, cotton, linen treads, wood, natural fabrics and dyes etc.  

"We would like to present our products like food and its ingredients with aesthetic sense and sensibility"

my little suzani

(painting on silk 5" x 5")

Suzani - embroidered textiles from Central Asia came from word "sozan", which means "needle" in Iranian and Tajik,
These textiles were made of several panels of cotton or linen cloth that were embroidered with colorful silk threads. To create the piece the designs were first drawn on the panels in ink by a family member or a hired professional. Many different motifs/patterns that are now largely abstract, or so stylized as to seem abstract, have very old roots and the indicate where they were produced.

Female family and friends of a young girl joined together to help her embroider different panels, and after the embroidery was complete, the panels would be sewn together to form the finished cloth, that would become part of her dowry and the decor of her home upon marriage.
Suzani may be used as walls hangings, bedding, table covers, and curtains among other decor and so come in different sizes and shapes

I love suzani!:)
