Greenfynch Setee

Lookee here what I spied with my little eyes in the new Anthropologie catalog:


{Greenfynch Settee}
It reminds me of these incredible photo collages by Abigail Reynolds.
I want it.
How about you?

What's Your Type

Keira Rathbone is a British artist working in a most unusual medium:
the typewriter.
Portraits, still life, and landscapes all created with key strokes and space bars, on a typewriter.
A typewriter!!!

Bet they never taught this at secretary school.

Around the House

While best known for his New Yorker covers,
artist Saul Steinberg also got sketchy with the furniture.

Iconatomy

What, you may be pondering, is Iconatomy?
Funny you should ask.
Iconatomy (icon, anatomy) is Swedish artist George Chamoun's seriously cool series of collages of Hollywood icons, present and past.


Chamoun tediously fitted together the images of his cleverly combined subjects. No digital morphing whatsoever.


The results are absolutely brilliant, don'tcha think?

Polar Opposites

Combining interests both feminine (needlework) and masculine (old cars), Lithuanian artist Severija Incirauskaite-Kriauneviciene proves the old adage that opposites do indeed attract.


Soft, delicately stitched roses.
Hard, road-torn metal.


Sublime.

For the Hair

{The Martha Set}
Bobby pins. Hair pins.
Whatever moniker strikes your fancy.

{The Charlotte Sometimes Set}

I've made a few sets.
From old buttons and earrings and pins and charms.
And named for girls in songs.

{The Sweet Jane Set; The Lovely Rita Set}

They made their Grand Debut in my little shop today.

Spencer Studio

Lauren Spencer King completes thoughts. Using vintage photographs as her muse, the Los Angeles-based artist pencil-sketches beyond the edges of what is captured in the frame, giving the images what she calls "a place where the past and present can meet."
The results? Sublime.
