Such pretty spaces from South African Stylist Tracy Lee Lynch.

I love these whimsical photos of stylist duo Margo Maria Weijer and Frieda Mellema also known as Frieda Maria! I also love their list of things that they do and do not love:

“Friedamaria loves: home-made, contraditions, dreams, granny stuff, eccentric, white – and powder tones with a spark of fluorine, sewing, painting, Dr. Marten shoes, steel wire, Alison Goldfrapp, wine, fairy tales, disorganised, nostalgia, Bjork, Sweden, dresses with short puffing sleeves, Lee Miller, melancholic, the forest, clients in the queue, bad bargains, sea air, comic heroes, minor flaws, fake fur,
Talking Heads, Rotterdam, fifties, e-mails…

Friedamaria does not love: perfection, fashionable, arrogance, beer, Bugatti EB 110, blah blah blah, dress codes, obvious prints like Jackson Pollock , George Bush, trendy, botox, the book was better
(than the film), rules, stiletto heals, fake, Lara Croft, overdose of whatever…” ~friedamaria.com

I love the spoons, I heart the photo transfers onto the delicate cloth(which is super easy to do by the way), and although I am not very fond of gelatin, I would love to prepare the colors below, just so I can admire their pretty colors!

I simply fell in love with designer and stylist Rie Elise Larsen’s pieces. Her collection of home decor and accessories are filled with a fantastic palette of colors and I think the hand stitched quilts of color are just magnificent. They really give me a lot of inspiration for my own work. You can also get a glimpse of Rie’s style within her home by viewing this article by Bo Bedre(danish).

Ok, back to her quilts! It got me thinking that I would love to incorporate some hand stitching in my own textile pieces. I find charm in handmade pieces in which you can see minor imperfections and in my opinion it gives each piece their own character and truly makes each one…one-of-a-kind! Plus I am sure that it would be quite relaxing to sit on your comfy couch or favorite chair and embellish/stitch your creations than sitting and leaning over a a loud sewing machine!
