s-t-i-t-c-h

The lovely Janine from Uppercase Gallery asked me to be part of the new exhibition called s-t-i-t-c-h featuring 10 artists (all ladies, I must add) from all over Canada on the theme of, well, you’ve guessed it, needlework (sewing, embroidery, crochet, knitting). Of course, I had to say yes!!
For the occasion, I decided to whip [...]

The Replicca shop is on fiyah! So many wonderful goodies, all of which makes you drool in want and envy.
Rebecca is one of my Quit Your Day Job Storque article buddies, so make sure to read hers here! :)

Persian Garden

Persian Garden is a shop from Toronto that features wonderful digital illustrations by the artist, Afsaneh. Everything is delicate and feminine, detailed and colorful!
She also has a second shop, Joojoo, with polymer clay mini sculptures and jewelry, as well as a few more illustration prints. This one (below) would totally be perfect for a child’s [...]

Joe Evershot

There is something mysterious and powerful in these prints by Joe Evershot. It’s sort of a place that can contain the words powerful and ethereal at the same time and be in perfect harmony. I feel like I could just stare at them for minutes and minutes and minutes.
Oh, I almost forgot! This is a [...]

Patience Paper

Now, here I was thinking I was a patient lady to cross-stitch for hours my Wall Wear pieces on linen, but I might have to take that back.
The lady behind Papercutdiecut (Toronto) probably is one of the most patient people out there. She hand cuts (CRAZY, I KNOW!) everything you see here and her whole [...]

Gimme a little ‘o MChen

You may or may not know, but I go spend some time into the Etsy Virtual Labs quite a few times a week. They have newbie chats and critiques for sellers, as well as workshops and chats with Etsy admins. I like to go in there and help others (I try anyway!) with their shop. [...]

My Food is Beige

I love beige.
I love food.
I love photography.
Therefore, I love Jennifer Squires‘ (London, Ontario) kitchen photography in beige tints! I love their purity and their simpleness, and that reminds me that food is supposed to be pleasure, not torture, and that it is the best way to gather people together for a nice evening!

The second you leave

I miss you the second you leave.
Awwwwwwww! Such a cute little idea from Colleen Baran (Vancouver), a totally awesome stamp ring!

Material Fusion

Mixing textures and materials in sometimes unexpected ways, that’s part of what I love to do! And I love to see others do it as well.
Therefore, I adore seeing Nesting Emily, from Ontario, work the materials together with aesthetics. Adding felt and yarn to her beautiful simply carved pottery, she gives her pieces a uniqueness [...]

Antlers on your finger

I’ve loved the antler hype since it started, but now it’s getting bigger since I saw these fab rings by Toronto’s Touch the Dutch! I mean like woah!
Whether you like wood or prefer metal, there’s something for you over there! Check it out!

Canadian (Nova Scotia) duo Jai and Lauren Soloy, aka SleepingForest, create wonderful wood portfolios, albums and books in birch, walnut and elm. Each is unique and special and can be unscrewed to add/remove pages from the inside, therefore, it will last forever!
Treat yourself to impress clients, or surprise someone you really love!
