I've posted on their incredible work of before, but alma allen's new work & collaborations beg a repost!
just look through their work, or if you're nearby go see this show! & the pieces they've put together with heath ceramics! so gorgeous!

winter is just around the corner.

wouldn't it be amazing to snuggle up here on a cold wintry day?

maybe the husband and i will have to do this in our small batch of woods....

want to gallop over on your horse?

particularly love the large glass jug / vase.

Sharon Core's "Early American"
full circle & detail-by-detail art. 
After studying the works of American still-life painter Raphaelle Peale (1774-1825), Core recreates these Masterful pieces in minute photographic detail. From the setting, to the porcelain, to growing all manner of flora at her upstate NY property.
To me the results are simply exquisite!

“Early American” runs through Dec. 11 at the Gallery at Hermès, 691 Madison Avenue

Assembled Ensemble - Abigail Doan.

Abigail Doan is a gorgeous & multi-talented artist, whose

work speaks to the time spent with her source materials & an intense connection to nature.

Utilizing items often tossed by society at large,  her work creates almost Living communes of found and recycled bits. Fiber Flotsam, as she refers to them...  bits of natural of ephemera like dried lichen, antique lace, vintage embroideries, street flotsam, textile bits, threads, etc from her life spent between NYC, NY farms, Bulgaria & Italy. 

Her work calls to my own mind, memories of a recurring childhood dream.... rooms filled with texture & color. Though I could never identify the individual bits and pieces I felt a primal instinct of comfort & connection.

A deep emotion so instinctual there are no words....

if you can, do go see her current show at the Hunterdon Art Museum in NJ...

and this link. Emily, to whom Abigail introduced me in my search for African Volunteer programs.

happy sunday.

environment by Heather Heron

While in Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of attending the opening party for the environment by Heather Heron collection at Environment Furniture.

Using such sumptuous textiles such as vintage military tents, organic tanned leather, & antique Japanese textiles along with her own signature Organic Hemp, Heather Heron has created the perfect lifestyle compliment to the incredible sustainable furnishings at environment.

Personally, I am a dedicated Bag Lady, as my husband calls me & I want them all!

Add in some scarves & blankets for the weekend house,

the trio of Pouches in every color way & the surfbag - )i need the longboard vers as I just got mine back after too too many years!) - and we're good!

 Now, happily the environment by Heather Heron collection can be viewed in NYC as well!

although, it seems they're going quickly, so go by & take a look for yourself!

the evening drew in a fabulous crew & all in all was a perfect evening.

big love to all my LA peeps I got to see there, too!

 

you can also check them out here, along with other Heather Heron classics.
