I could not resist to create a little collage of images from this artist, it was compulsive.
How cute are these animals? They’re made by RoyalMint.

I love the embroidered designs on the felt bears!!

Maybe for today I should stop with this compulsive sharing!

Ok, I have to go back to the lab (still working on a commissioned thing- I will talk more about it as soon I’ll can).

See you on Twitter and on the Facebook page for more chit chat and lovely finds :)

Pssst. don’t forget to submit your works to the IB Flickr group, the end of the week is near (and so my picks from there!)

Non ho resistito e ho fatto subito questo piccolo collage di immagini, è stato compulsivo.
Ma quanto sono carini questi animali? Sono realizati da RoyalMint.

Amo quei disegni ricamati sugli orsi!!

Forse per oggi dovrei smetterla con queste condivisioni compulsive!

Devo tornare in lab (si, sto ancora trafficando su quel lavoro che mi hanno commissionato – magari ve ne parlerò un pò meglio appena sarà possibile).

Ci vediamo su Twitter e sulla pagina Facebook per il resto delle chiacchiere e altri finds carini :)

Pssst. non dimenticatevi di pubblicare i vostri lavori sul gruppo Flickr di IB, la fine della settimana si avvicina (e quindi anche i miei “picks” dal gruppo! ;)

What original combinations of textures, shapes, proportions…
I watch all the details, observe all their component parts… How wonderful!

I’m totally enraptured by these art doll and sculpture works!

It took me a while to find who the artist is, I found all pages in Russian, but at the end, thanks to the precious Google translate tool, I had the answer:  Dmitry P. Zhurylkyn, and Dima RV should be the artistic name.

Che combinazioni di texture, fibre, forme, proporzioni…
Guardo i dettagli, osservo tutte le piccole parti che le compongono… Che meraviglia!

Sono rapita da chi riesce a realizzare cose così originali e particolari come queste art doll/sculture.

Ci ho messo un pò a risalire a chi fosse l’artista perché trovavo tutte le pagine in Russo!
Ma alla fine, grazie al prezioso strumento traduzione di Google, ho avuto la risposta: Dmitry P. Zhurylkyn, e Dima RV dovrebbe essere il suo “nome d’arte”.

The simplicity of the lines and a big imagination that tells ideas. Wonderful creations.

When I discovered this artist I thought all these lovely illustrations and papercuts works belonged to a woman, perhaps because of the aura of sweetness they have.

I was wrong. The creator of these artworks is Timothy Karpinski, from USA.

You can admire the other works of Timothy on his site, on his Flickr and some prints are available on Etsy too!

La semplicità delle linee ed una grande immaginazione che racconta idee. Bellissime.

Quando ho scoperto quest’artista pensavo che tutte queste belle illustrazioni e lavori di intaglio su carta, appartenessero a una donna, forse per via di quest’ aura di dolcezzza che emanano.

Eh, mi sbagliavo. Il creatore di queste bellezze è Timothy Karpinski, dagli USA, decisamente un maschietto (ho messo anche due foto di testimonianza :)

Potete ammirare il resto dei suoi lavori nel suo sito, nel suo Flickr, e alcune stampe sono disponibili anche in Etsy!

Dreaming faces, flowering heads, flying objects… this is the world made of paper by Juliana Bollini, an unquestionably creative artist from Brazil.

Her works are a sort of “mixed media art” but the main material she use to sculpt and model is paper.

I also found this pic with so many creations all together in a lovely place – that I suppose is her Studio. So cute all together!

Then, as you know, I adore to see photographs of craft studios of other artists, it’s like a little peek in their imaginative world.

It has something magical, secret and personal. And it’s always imbued with inspiration.

Visi sognanti, teste in fioritura, oggetti volanti… questo è il mondo fatto di carta di Juliana Bollini, un’artista indiscutibilmente creativa che viene dal Brasile.

I suoi lavori sono una sorta di “mixed media art” ma il materiale principale che usa per scolpire e modellare è la carta.

Ho trovato anche questa foto, piena di sculture di carta tutte insieme in uno spazio adorabile – che suppongo sia il suo studio. Che bello vederle tutte insieme!

Poi, come sapete, adoro vedere le fotografie degli studi creativi e dei labortatori artigianali, è un pò come una sbirciata nel loro mondo immaginario.

Ha qualcosa di magico, segreto e personale. Ed è sembre impregnato di ispirazione.

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!)

Ceramic art that tells the Smallest Stories By Bonnie Marie Smith

EnglishSmallest stories made in ceramic by Bonnie Marie Smith  Ceramic art that tells the Smallest Stories By Bonnie Marie Smith

Smallest stories made in ceramic by Bonnie Marie Smith 2  Ceramic art that tells the Smallest Stories By Bonnie Marie Smith

The artist says that these handmade ceramic creations tell stories… I believe her.

“My work tends to be small and mysterious – even to me. In an effort to understand my work better I started to ask the things I made what they were about. When I sat with them very quietly, and listened, I could hear that they had things to say – these are their (smallest) stories.”

She’s Bonnie Marie Smith from Kingston, New York (USA) and these collection are the “Smallest Stories“.

How inspiring are these works?!! I think they’re amazing!!

I felt in love with every single detail finding an ocean of emotion and creation… it’s only me?

Then, the photo with all these little creatures together,  side by side… is simply magic, what else? It’s ART.

Free your senses and “feel”.

ItalianoSmallest stories made in ceramic by Bonnie Marie Smith  Ceramic art that tells the Smallest Stories By Bonnie Marie Smith

L’artista dice che queste creazioni in ceramica artigianali raccontano storie… Io le credo.

“Il mio lavoro tende ad essere piccolo e misterioso – anche  a me. Nel tentativo di capire meglio il mio lavoro ho iniziato a chiedere alle cose che faccio che cosa fossero. Quando mi sono seduta con loro in tranquillità e mi sono messa ad ascoltare, ho sentito che avevano delle cose da dire – queste sono le loro (piccole) storie.”

Lei è Bonnie Marie Smith da Kingston, New York (USA) e questa collezione sono le “Smallest Stories“.

Quanto sono d’ispirazione?!! Io le trovo meravigliose!

Mi sono innamorata di ogni singolo dettaglio trovandoci un oceano di emozione e creazione… Fanno questo effetto solo a me?

E poi… la foto con tutte queste piccole creature insieme, una accanto all’altra… è magia, che si può dire? E’ ARTE.

Liberate i sensi e “sentite”.
