Girl Crush

I have a girl crush on the life of dottie angel. Her real name is Tif Fussell and she lives in suburban Seattle. Tif is originally from Britain, is a wife and the mother of four kids “who talk back”. She wears a customized slip and dreams of living her alter-ego Dottie Angel’s life… in a run down cottage over looking the sea, with two airstream trailers in the yard, one works as her studio and the other stores her vast collection of vintage bits and bobs…

Tif, a.k.a. dottie angel, is a crafting genius. Her charming home, also known as “mossy shed”, is full of crocheted doilies, floral fabrics, pattern, paper lanterns, bunting and vintage vignettes. The epitome of granny chic.

How to make a Statement Necklace

clothing, craft, design, DIY, home, shopping, statement necklace, style

This is one of the best craft projects I have seen. Not only is it budget-friendly but it is so chic!

You can get this look by using a few crafty tools and some bits and bobs from your local bead/craft store. Total supplies, if you include buying the tools, should run you less than $30. All the instructions are posted here on Nicole’s amazing blog Making it Lovely.

Gorgeous! All images via Making it Lovely.

Create your own designs on inexpensive cork coasters. I think this is a DIY great idea and I can’t believe I haven’t done this yet. What a great way to add some flair to an outdoor party. Write a personal message for that special someone on them. Give them as a gift with a set of nice glasses and some drink recipes. The possibilities are endless.

All images are from fellow fellow. To see the step-by-step instructions click here.

Artist inspiration

Alegria collection, arts, cloud 9 fabric, craft, Etsy, fabric collection, fashion, freelance illustrator, Geninne D. Zlatkis, illustration, painted egg, sewing, style, vibrant colours, watercolours

I am currently loving Geninne’s Art Blog. Geninne is a freelance illustrator and designer whose blog is so full of vibrant colours and inspiration galore!

Wooden egg painted with blue acrylic inks and rubbed with a spoon oil. Beautiful tie-dyed top in a warm chocolate brown! Shopping alert: you can buy one of these stunning pillows designed by Geninne here.

I could move into this bedroom in a split second. Gennine made her own pillowcases as soon as her fabric collection called Alegria arrived at her home. She designed the pattern herself. Then she over-dyed the fabric to match her green quilt from CB2. What a perfectionist – just look at the colour match. I’m in awe of her talent – not only as an artist, but she dyes fabrics and sews too! Her fabric collection is sold at Cloud 9 Fabrics.

She also uses thread as a medium, on t-shirts.

Freshly painted rocks to keep papers from flying away in her studio. Stunning detail.

Are you loving her illustrations as much as I am?
The good news is, you can buy her work from her etsy shop.
