The first is two necklaces by Figs & Ginger. Figs & Ginger is a husband/wife team who make eco-friendly sterling silver jewelry.
This fawn necklace is so sweet. I want it. And it's only $40! I'm very tempted to order it.
Lovebirds necklace, also $40. All jewelry is made from at least 50% recycled metal and all are made by hand. So sweet.
The next thing I found was the most beautiful prints by Bryan Nash Gill, an artist from Connecticut. (descriptions taken from Ashes & Milk)
Through relief printing and a laborious rubbing technique Byran created the above piece Hemlock 82 (Bryan literally scratched his fingernails over every surface of the tree). At the grand size of 5 long x 38.5″wide the actual diameter, texture and pattern of this tree section is gorgeously translated onto paper.
Ink is rolled out and a piece of handcrafted washi paper is placed over the print block. Pressing little by little with his fingertips, Bryan imprints the texture of the wood on the surface of the paper.
If you want a print of this tree though, they don't come cheap. Prints cost a mere $4000. Yes, four thousand. But aren't they beautiful?
