The Awesome Project - Handmade porcelain journey from Romania

EnglishDo you remember the collage I shared some time ago on the IB Facebook page into our “Handmade Wonders” album? One of the most adorable find ever.  In case you missed it, you can take a look at it here.

I immediately felt in love with The Awesome Project and it was only at the beginning!

Now this amazing duo is back, with new awesome porcelain creations, and I LOVE them all!!!

How they describe their project:

“An experimental journey of a multidisciplinary creative duo (illustrator Madalina Andronic and designer Claudiu Stefan) through the awesome milky-silky world of porcelain, with a hint of Romanian folklore. Our wish is to create heart-to-heart, beautifully adorned decorative objects for individuals and homes. All the pieces are designed and hand-decorated individually, using porcelain, underglaze colours, stoneware glazes and love.
Dishwasher safe.”

Is there anything to add?

I adore the idea behind this project, totally love that the design has been inspired by their Romanian tradition and reinterpreted into contemporary accessories.

They started with objects for the home and now the collection become wearable: hand painted porcelain bangles, rings, and collars!

The result is amazing.

ItalianoVi ricordate quel collage che avevo fatto un po’ di tempo fa per la Pagina Facebook di IB nell’album “Handmade Wonders”? Uno dei ‘find’ più belli. Nel caso ve lo foste persi, lo trovate qui.

Mi sono subito innamorata di questo Awesome Project, ed era solo all’inizio!

Ora questo fantastico duo è tornato con nuove bellissime creazioni in porcellana, e le AMO tutte!!!

Loro lo descrivono così:

“Un viaggio sperimentale di un duo creativo multidisciplinare  (l’illustratrice Madalina Andronic e il designer Claudiu Stefan) atrraverso il bellissimo mondo latteo-setoso della porcellana, con un pizzico di folklore rumeno. Il nostro deisderio è quello di creare cuore a cuore, oggetti decorativi per le persone e le case. Tutti i pezzi sono progettati e decorati a mano individualmente usando porcellana, colori, smalti e amore.
Sono lavabili in lavastoviglie.”

Resta qualcosa da aggiungere?

Mi piace un sacco l’idea dietro a questo progetto, adoro il fatto che il design sia stato ispirato alla loro tradizione rumena e reinterpretato in accessori contemporanei.

Hanno iniziato con degli oggetti per la casa e ora la collezione diventa indossabile: bracciali di porcellana dipinti a mano, anelli, collarini!

Il risultato è stupendo.

Endless creativity on Jenny Mendes's ceramics

EnglishI can only say that I spent almost an hour to browse through all the ceramic creations by Jenny Mendes before choosing the ones that could better represent her work and style.

I’m still convinced that these aren’t enough but hope they can give you an idea of her endless creativity and talent.

Jenny Mendes ceramics 550  Endless creativity on Jenny Mendes’s ceramics

The designs too are so various that despite having a common denominator they seem to come from different hand. It’s amazing!

And also the color palette is always very different.

Love this ability to mix, change, re-elaborate and make such wonderful multi-style works.

ItalianoVi dico solo che ho impiegato quasi un ora per vedere tutte le creazioni in ceramica di Jenny Mendes prima di riuscire a scegliere quelle che potevano meglio rappresentare il suo lavoro e il suo stile.

Sono ancora convinta che queste non siano abbastanza, ma spero che possano darvi un idea della sua infinita creatività e talento.

I design sono così vari che nonostante abbiano un comune denominatore, sembrano provenire da mani diverse. Meraviglia!

Ed anche gli schemi di colore sono sempre molto differenti.

Adoro questa abilità di mixare, cambiare, rielaborare e realizzare lavori così stupendamente multi-stile.

Emotions via textile design - Karen Barbé

EnglishThere are crafts for which you seem to lack the right words. The perfect ones to describe the beauty that comes from ideas, from the combination of technique and creativity, from the ‘doing by hand‘.

When I find these kind of works I stay for minutes with my eyes wide open; it’s a kind of amazement, always the same, but every time different.

Handmade textile design by Karen Barbe 2  Emotions via textile design – Karen Barbé

Karen Barbé comes from Chile, and it’s a textile designer.

She creates amazing embroidery, hand printed fabrics and other hand woven accessories.

Love how everything looks great, both on simple patterns and more complicated designs.

A thing that goes straight to my endless ‘to do’ list.

ItalianoCi sono lavori artigianali per i quali ti sembra di non avere le parole giuste. Quelle perfette per descrivere la bellezza che scaturisce dalle idee, dalla combinazione di tecnica e creatività, dal ‘fare a mano‘.

Quando trovo lavori di questo tipo resto ad occhi spalancati; è una sorta di stupore, sempre lo  stesso, ma sempre diverso.

Karen Barbé viene dal Cile, ed è una designer tessile.

Crea bellissimi ricami, stoffe stampate a mano e altri accessori tessuti a mano.

Mi piace come ogni progetto sia meraviglioso, sia quelli dai pattern semplici che con design più complicati.
