Artsy Forager reader Kim Carney creates these fantastic folk art sculptures, Brantlers, using recycled wood, branches and various found objects. Such a fun take on “trophies”!

Check them all out on Kim’s website and let me know in the comments which one is your fave! I’m partial this guy.

Anyone who knows me is aware of my love affair with scarves. As in I own way too many and am powerless to resist their call. I even hike wearing a scarf ( ok, a bandana, really ). They instantly up the degree of artsiness in any outfit. These hand painted and embroidered scarves by Naomi Clark on Grey Area are insanely gorgeous, wearable works of art!

Since we’re on the subject of tree branches today, have you seen these necklaces from Lovisa Lindstrom’s Etsy shop, marukiko?

I am completely in love with them. One would be the perfect tree-gazing accessory!

While digging through my Pinterest inspiration boards, planning my features for next week, I noticed a color trend in a few of my pins. It’s funny how our minds gravitate toward certain palettes some days, isn’t it? Apparently, my eyes are loving the combination of orange and indigo these days! I thought you might enjoy a few examples from my boards..






Any color combos you’re enamored with these days? Guess this native Florida girl can’t escape the Orange & Blue!

Artists and designers have been inspiring each other for centuries. Whether we realize it or not, much of the clothes we wear, jewelry we sport and objects we use are a result of the symbiosis between art and design. And I for one, love to celebrate such connections! For this first feature in the new Artsy Fodder series, let’s have some fun with artfully inspired jewelry designs. These pieces may not have directly influenced each other, but there is an unmistakable resemblance.
