New York based Lex Luxe jewelry uses a really interesting technique on some of their designs. It’s called “Keum-Boo”, and is the ancient Japanese art of burnishing 24kt gold onto sterling silver. I think the result is gorgeous…like the necklace in the center…I’m smitten. I really love all of the pieces. Had a hard time narrowing down a few to post here!
The detail on the ceramics from Cynthia Vardhan Ceramics blow me away. Each piece is handcrafted and handpainted from a “proprietary fine translucent porcelain” that the artist formulates and mixes herself. Fancy! The vases are so sweet, and priced well, too…$40…and would make a really nice gift for a girlfriend/sister/mom! Love!
I’m usually not on the lookout for guys handmade things…not sure why…but I discovered David’s Hat Factory, and think that the hats, made by David {above, left}, are great. It’s not everyday that I find an indie-knitter dude! Just ordered the grey hat in the middle for my son…think he’ll like it!
I found these fantastic screenprinted hooks and coat racks on the blog, purplepinkandorange {always a great place to see some cute indie goods}…they are from Oregon based, The Crosbie. Fabulous patterns and colors, no?
Have a fun weekend everyone!!
I thought it appropriate to follow my “it’s-freezing-outside-let’s-see-some-scarves” post with an “I’m-dreaming-of-springtime-and-some-cutie-handmade-flats” post.
SMARTFISH handcrafted shoes are all vegan, use no adhesives, lined with organic bamboo, are created with sustainable processes, and are made to be durable…Oh, and did I mention, they are made by hand?! Yep. The sweet hemp and blue embroidered pair is calling my name. Love!!
But, for now, I have to stick to boots and super-thick socks. Boo.
