I LOVE contemporary handmade!!

In case you missed it here’s the Contemporary Handmade vol. 1 post.
This week my picks have arrived a bit late (on Sunday – so many work to do in the lab that days fly away so quickly! ) but hope you like them. I adore all of them!
Don’t forget to share this post, it helps IB to be known by more and more shining souls (and so your works too)! Thank YOU so much! :)

Great, if you also figure that it’s her FIRST knitted garment.
Yeah, she says that “this time it’s been different, it’s serious knitting“.
(Sorry Pilli Pilli, I peeked on your blog post, I was too curious about the story behind this work!)
Have a well-deserved warm week end! :P

Questa settimana il tema dei lavori scelti nel gruppo è la ‘mia palette colori del giorno’, un mix di gradazioni di grigi e di blu.
Li trovo tutti molto belli… e vogliamo parlare del piccolo gillet fatto a maglia di Pilli Pilli?
Meraviglioso, soprattutto se pensate che è la sua PRIMA creazione di vestiario fatta a maglia.
Yes, lei stessa dice che “questa volta è stato diverso, questo è lavoro a maglia serio“.
(Scusa Pilli Pilli, ho sbirciato sul post nel tuo blog, ero troppo curiosa di sapere la storia dietro a questo lavoro!)
Ed è arrivato anche il week end… di meritato e caldo riposo! :P

1. Wish doll by Reino Já Cheguei | 2. Valentine’s Day – Les Chiens Amoureux ( Dogs In Love ) by Harem6 | 3. Margot doll from Wee Wonderful by gervaise-lab| 4. Pink cat earrings by Munieca | 5. Marinero vase by regi rivas | 6. Felicori’s notebook by Wellington Luzzi | 7. Oompa Loompa plushies by Denn Rodriguez
Another thing I’m loving in those period is the neon/fluo colors, all those bright accents that immediately give to the object a different vibe.
And I’m noticing that more and more creatives are using them on their works.
Joy! I have fun to see how they insert and match these colors with the rest!
Enjoy the weekend friends, see you on Monday! :)
