The Tiny Modernist

Love the mid-century modern look, but simply can't fit a signature chair into your apartment, or your budget? Well, think small - really small!

Etsy seller The Tiny Modernist sells cross-stitch patterns, so you can have all the classics at your fingertips - literally! I could do with this pair of Eames Shell chairs, or maybe the Barcelona chair, or the Eames Lounge chair, or a Eero Aarnio Ball Chair...

Visit the Tiny Modernist for more cross-stitch patterns of the classics, as well as screenprinted baby tees.

Yokoo styling

After having done a bit of styling on my own products, and sat in on a professional shoot or two, I am in awe of the hard work done by stylists, and always delighted by a fresh approach to the presentation of a product. So when I spotted these witty product shots for knitted things by Yokoo, I just couldn't resist sharing. Hope they inspire you too!

And the icing on the cake (so to speak): this photograph for sale called i wear many hats.

Tea Towel roundup

After a rare sunny weekend, I'm starting to think about springcleaning, so did a quick roundup of gorgeous tea towels made by those clever Etsy sellers.

I'm really impressed with the beautiful screenprinted tea towels on Russian linen made by Australian outfit Flowerpress, and would be hard pressed to choose between any the Filigree design (top) and Chrysanthemums, which comes in scarlet or blue.


Cape Town Etsy seller Jezze has hand-stencilled tea towels for sale in three shades, named Steam, Vapour and Smoke because, as she says, "even the best cooks sometimes burn things"!


Showpony has another witty take on the tea towel, spelling out kitchen commandments like Keep It Clean in household creepy crawlies, and Do The Dishes in stacks of washing up.


These fresh and clean Red Poppy tea towels by Michelle Brusegaard will add a cheery splash to any kitchen.

I love the new design of fat green and blue Fish by Chicago-based Patapri. She really is an amazing seller, handprinting such an extensive range of multicolour designs.

Etsy seller PhatSheep lives on the Shetland Isles, and has drawn on her island birdlife to print this adorable Seabirds tea towel on linen.


Veering off the beaten tea towel track, Cicada Studio has hit on the brilliant idea of making this tea towel calendar. Sadly sold out (in a flash, it seems), the good news is that there's a brand new version in the pipes. See more here.

Groundwork

In her Etsy profile, artist Danna Ray says that she was "raised in a log cabin in the woods", and looking at her beautiful work in her online shop Groundwork, this makes absolutely perfect sense.
Ferns - digital print of an ink drawing
In the Air - a print of an acrylic and gouache painting.
Leaf Collection - print of acrylic and gouache painting on a woodburned panel.

Seed for Sun - digital print of an acrylic and gouache painting.

I'm not the first person to notice this artist - she's a prolific Etsy seller, and has been on Apartment Therapy, Chicago, and had the Storque spotlight on her over at Etsy too.
Visit Groundwork to see more of Danna Ray's lovely work.
