I am rather taken with the work of Anu Tuominen. And particularly her alphabets made from found stone and twig, jar collections of nature, and her crochet work. Above are just a few of my favourites from her extensive portfolio. Click here to peruse her work, and here to see where she will be exhibiting in the coming year.

found via slow progress – there is loads of inspiration on this blog, perfect rainy weekend reading.
so autumnal! boots, by amanda.
The weather has been sucky here, to say the least. Windy, rainy, and chilly – these are all the elements that keep me tucked up inside my cozy boat home, blanket over my lap, and cup of hot tea at the ready. But you know I have a wandering spirit, so thank goodness for the internet. While I’ve been working on the book (only one week of photo processing to go!), I’ve been taking little blog breaks, clicking on a recent comment or a blog in my blogroll and being whisked away to another world. Here are some of the things I’ve found…
Jen has an incredible photo project in the making which involves a natural history museum. Above are some little snippets of what she is making, I simply cannot wait to see more, click here to read her full post about it.

How incredibly gorgeous are these translucent porcelain cups by stepanka? They even have little rainclouds in the bottom…
Go and check out the rest of stepanka’s creations – no doubt you will flip out like I did when you find the abc cups, the polka dot cups, and double cup set. I was going to save them for my upcoming holiday gift ideas bonzanza but I couldn’t resist! They are too darling and I want all of them.

Eva, from Tinctory, makes the most exquisite pieces of jewellery. She repurposes vintage silk and uses natural dyes to create intricate smocked pendants, brooches, bracelets and necklaces – her inspiration being feathers, sand patterns, shells, and fallen leaves. I am completely enamoured by her style and techniques, and the end results are breathtaking…
Eva has an extensive collection, available on both etsy and big cartel, as well as a flickr account filled with beautiful images of the processes, and experiments. Words escape me…
