1. Polymer Clay Bracelet by Genevieve Williamson on Etsy - This bracelet is beautiful! I love how she formed and colored the polymer clay to look like old, worn pieces of wood, stone, I don't know, something else. It's - at the same time - both very architectual and organic. Really cool.

2. Pittsburgh Mug by Zach Medler on Etsy - He doesn't currently have this mug in his shop, but I love
this design. I love how he uses stamps to create a Pittsburgh-like landscape on
his mugs. I lived in Pittsburgh for 9 years and loved it. This mug reminds me
of Pgh - the heaviness and colors of this piece remind me of the industrial
past and hardworking roots of the city. Plus, I always love a great handcrafted
ceramic mug!

3. Handmade Necklace from Elva Fields - I first heard about Emily Wheat Maynard's beautiful jewelry in an
article in Country Living magazine and just fell in love. It's hard to
pick a favorite among all of her beautiful pieces. Emily recycles/upcycles
vintage jewelry into new pieces with a great modern look. I love bold necklaces
and really like how she maintains the femininity of the vintage pieces while
updating them to a very current and cool look.
4. The Photographs of Sarah Szwajkos - We saw an exhibition of her really large photographs recently at the Chocolate Church Arts Center (I'm not making this up) in Bath, Maine. I can't seem to copy any of the images
from her website to share on this blog, but believe me, her photos are amazing
(follow the link). Her photos of indoor spaces capture this wonderful sense of
stillness, beauty, and mystery. You feel as if the occupants have scampered
off, and left the details of their daily lives to be examined like an
archaeological dig. Really fascinating.
With the holidays coming up, I hope this list gives my husband some ideas :)
