{Fun Finds} timo inspiration…

Those that know me or have followed this blog for awhile will not be surprised that I love the design line, Timo. You most likely also understand my interest in characters, textiles & drawing with thread (see my thread figures here). The Timo designs just really speak to me – ALL of them! When I saw the gentleman with a black hat, it pretty much inspired me to make an Etsy treasury right there on the spot. I pictured this gentleman as an artist- (specifically a writer) walking around in Paris on holiday, looking for inspiration for his next book. When I create Etsy treasuries it’s usually when I need to be doing something else. It’s a way for me to take a little break & creatively recharge. I like to pick images/products that help me tell a story…. 
This treasury is called “The Creative Process” & it’s full of characters, places, & things that may be used when when in the creative bubble & possibly on a deadline. You can view it live here
Hope you are having a great weekend!

{Fun} Imagine & Wonder…

It’s been a long time since I created an Etsy Treasury. I find that it really relaxes me to cruise through my favorite items & shops. So, I put together a group of things that I’ve adored for a little while. I find that all of these items inspire me in some form or another. How about you?

{Fabric Saturday} Drool worthy fabric + 5 winners…

I’ve been drooling over this collection of Scandinavian fabric at Hus & Hem ever since Louise (thirtyfive flowers) posted about it on her blog. I suppose that my many times cruising through this collection may have influenced my fabric choices a bit for this “Textile Love” Etsy treasury that I just made. I wanted to put together a small collection of textiles that are either vintage or hand screen printed because I’m particularly fond of both. It’s just nice to have a documented list of some of my favorite patterns, colors, textile designers/printmakers & shops. You can view the treasury live here.
But wait… there’s something else I want to say…. I have some winners to announce for the  5 Bundle Creative Competition! Again, I had to use a random method to choose the winners- this time random.org helped me out. 

And the 5 creative competitors are :: 

1. Kari Firak  2. Ringmaster  3. Pop-i-cok  4. Heather  5. Amy Freeto 
(& Carmel- the winner of the fabric stash giveaway- is invited to play of course too). 
So, if you see your name, make sure I have your address so I can send you your bundle. You can email me at kristin{at}kltworks{dot}com. Can’t wait to see what you all come up with. Remember, I will post pictures of of all 5 creations on the April 1st Fabric Friday post. Thanks to all of you who entered & shared your fabric stories. This isn’t the end of my stash. There is more fun to had so stay tuned…
Happy weekend everyone!

{Everyday Inspiration} comfort palette…

I absolutely love color.  But I do find that there are colors that I gravitate towards more often than others. My paintbox, closet, & house are full of greens & blues. They seem to be my comfort colors. Maybe it’s because my eyes are a combination of the two. I created another Etsy treasury of colors & images that feel comforting & happy to me.

{Everyday Inspiration} dreaming of vintage…

{picture via hutch studio}

Chris has created beautiful interior spaces at hutch studio & visiting him there is always inspiring. Each room is filled lots of vintage finds and recycled, handmade creations. This room at hutch is called the “sweet room” and I’m always taking note of the way the shadows are cast, how the light fills the room, the textures, & the color palette. I made an Etsy treasury last night that reflects how I feel when I’m in that room & the colors that I see. These are items & images that may appear in my dreamworld….
