“in this place” by Heather Smith Jones @ Etsy.

I love this piece by Heather Smith Jones and since I was going to post it before I took my “little break”, here it is !

It is an original watercolor painting with pinholes on paper. Heather Smith Jones uses this “pinhole technique” a lot - you can see some here @ Etsy or on her Flickr in this album - but I really love it the most when she combines techniques.

She has an amazing sense of color which is not only obvious in her watercolors - she grinds and prepares them herself which tells me she has a sensual relationship with pigments and colors - but also in her acrylic, tempera and oil paintings. I absolutely love this one called “a cottonwood seed”.

And did I say that she only sells originals in her Etsy shop ?

She also has a blog.

Vanilla Shake - 2 piece pants and top set for Blythe by angela gordon @ Etsy.

Angela Gordon just listed these wonderful white “vanilla” linen pants for Blythe @ her Etsy shop. As you can see, they are very wide at the bottom and I love that shape. The listing is actually for the pants + the top - there is a second listing Cherry Blossom with a different top - but I think I could very well do without the tops.

Whereas I just love the style and look of those pants and I must say I am all the more impressed for after having browsed through pants lately for an article I came to the conclusion that they definitely did not seem easy to make even with the best sewing skills.

Now, if like me you are not totally satisfied with the top, you could order one of the 3 tops left in ardentcurse’s shop from her “Truly Coordinate” series (only one pair of pants still available) :

or one of feltland’s beautiful sweaters and I would personally pick that pale yellow one :
