Halloween Countdown: Clay Disarray
Posted in art, craft, film, halloween, horror with tags art, clay, craft, film, halloween, horror on October 24, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyHalloween Countdown: Appendage Accessories
Posted in craft, skulls and skeletons with tags bat, craft, owl, skulls and skeletons, sleep mask on October 18, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyWhile not an exclusively spooky shop, these sleep masks by Appendage Accessories are perfect for the Halloween season.
I can’t really use sleep masks because I get uncomfortable with anything pressing against my face when I try to sleep (other than a pillow). But if I could, these would definitely be my choice!
Life Sized Octopus Backpack
Posted in accessories, craft, sea with tags accessories, backpack, craft, octopus, sea on September 21, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyAlthough it’s certainly not the most practical accessory, I must admit I still checked to see if this life sized octopus backpack by Olga Kotova was for sale (it’s not…but I swear I would’ve had restraint!).
I’ve seen cutesy octopus bags before, but I admire her choice to throw caution to the wind and go for realism here.
Would you use this backpack just for the fun of it?

New Lover’s Eye Pendants on Etsy!
Posted in craft, jewelry, shewalkssoftlyetsy with tags craft, etsy, handmade, jewelry, lover's eye, pendants on August 15, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyFor those who may want something a bit more low key than the bejeweled Lover’s Eye pieces in the store, I’ve added a series of them without any beading. Find them on Etsy here!
All items can be fully customized.
Martin Tomsky
Posted in craft with tags craft, laser cut, tomsky, wood on August 8, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyMartin Tomsky has been showing up a lot in my Pinterest suggestions…for good reason.
From the artist bio:
I am a London based artist who creates illustrative, relief pieces built up from layers of laser cut, stained plywood. These range in size and shape from very small items of jewellery to much larger, bespoke artworks. Each piece is hand assembled to create a unique, organic object that bridges the gap between craft, illustration and sculpture.
The effect he creates is awesome…
While I’m incredibly impressed by the level of detail in the larger, wild compositions, this may be my absolute favorite. The tea really makes the piece.
Masayoshi Matsumoto: Balloon Animals
Posted in craft, creatures with tags animals, balloons, craft, creatures on August 3, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyWhere was Masayoshi Matsumoto when I was a kid having birthday parties? I’d absolutely love his balloon sculptures at my future parties for adults, too.
Check out his site for many more badass, beautiful balloon beasts.
Kate Walsh Embroidery
Posted in craft, embroidery with tags craft, embroidery, Kate Walsh on July 29, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyKate Walsh creates “tiny macabre embroideries.”
I love her style. These are like little portraits…just missing the flesh.
Mr. Riu
Posted in craft, paper with tags craft, Mr. Riu, paper, papercutting on July 20, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyI was absolutely certain Mr. Riu’s detailed cut paper projects must be laser cut, but he does all of them meticulously by hand.
I think sometimes there is immense satisfaction in doing something the hard (er, traditional) way in an age where so much digital shortcuts are available. The act of creation is intrinsically meditative and meaningful.
The shadows are incredible!
Robin Van Valkenburgh
Posted in absurd, craft, humor, sculpture with tags absurd, ceramic, craft, humor, Robin VanValkenburgh, sculpture on July 13, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyRobin Van Valkenburgh makes what she calls “pop surreal ceramics.”
Many of these inspire a sense of nostalgia in me, while catering to my love of the absurd (beloved childhood characters mix with traditional ceramic creatures and shapes).
