the colored crocheted jewelry of studiokarma
Yellow Brown Necklace With Large Crocheted Rings (detail) by StudioKarma.
I am always amazed by the beauty of felt or crocheted jewelry. There are a few extraordinary shops @ Etsy – you regularly find their items on the front page – and StudioKarma is one of those. Her necklaces are simply gorgeous.
They are OOAK, but you can ask for custom items anyway. I found this one below in the sold section, and it is one of my favorites :
Multicolored Nacklace With Various Crocheted Rings.
gorgeous handmade clutches by red ruby rose
Tree Rings, silk-lined clutch bag by Red Ruby Rose.
Rowena Dugdale @ Red Ruby Rose makes the most wonderful and gorgeous clutches. Her choice of fabrics is very sophisticated and the one above “tree Rings” is one of my favorites – it is lined in deep red silk – but I also love this silk starburst luxury clutch bag a lot. All of Red Ruby Rose’s creations are Limited Editions, but she loves custom orders, so if you are interested, just browse through the sold section of her shop to see if there is any fabric you like, providing it is still available she will make it for you…

Third Skin paper by Eloise Ghioni.
The word “minimalist” is bound to be a great star on a blog focused on “white” so it is with no surprise that we welcome its appearance on our very first post : the art of Eloise Ghioni is minimalist. She calls it “conceptual minimalist” and she is the better judge of that but what comes to mind really is how extremely sensual it is. She works with white paper and produces reliefs on it. You will perhaps appreciate the sensuality of her work more with the postcards she also has on sale in her Etsy shop.
This is what she writes as an introduction :
My art is conceptual minimalist, and describes the experiences of life.
THIRD SKIN, is the title of my recent work, the paintings are made on two different media: wood and paper.
The engravings, represent the scars: indelible alterations of human life.
My paintings are totally white to better express the essence of the message.
Each painting is a fragment of myself.

Soap Carpet by The Swedes for Kateha.
I registered @ Stylehive yesterday and I stumbled upon this great Soap carpet designed by The Swedes for Kateha and available @ ScandinavianDesignCenter.
I love that moss color – definitely in the air – but the carpet also exists in white.
japanese fabrics by karaku tokyo @ etsy
Japanese Flower Fabrics by Karaku Tokyo @ Etsy.
I cannot think right now of anything more exquisite in terms of color and pattern than Japanese fabrics. They always seem so perfect ! In a sense they are the epitome of “A thing of beauty…”.
And I cannot thing of a more exquisite shop than Karaku Tokyo @ Etsy. All her fabrics are simply gorgeous and beautiful. They have amazingly nice colors, not to mention the patterns which are all superb.
Besides the flower patterns, you will of course find geometric ones like this one :
And she also has a lot of Japanese Papers. I absolutely love that yellow one !
I discovered her through her Flickr. She lives in Tokyo, Japan where she is an interior designer. Her company website Karaku Tokyo is about Japanese home decoration.
