Etsy Finds: Upper Tiny

Courtney — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:00:13 +0000

I’m loving all the neon artwork and gift items in Upper Tiny, a new-to-me Etsy shop featuring the work of Jenn Smith. Gotta love their tagline too: “If this shop had arms it would hug you awkwardly.”

Etsy Finds: Osborn Woods Posters & Prints

Courtney — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:00:01 +0000

I’m so glad I stumbled upon the Etsy shop of Osborn Woods. I hadn’t heard of them before, but I’ve learned that David Osborn and Charles Woods were an incredible artistic team from Nevada City, California who originally met as graduate students at UC Berkeley. If you’re interested in learning more of their history I found two great posts about the team, one on Imprint and another on Gravel & Gold. I’m not sure who is running the shop at the moment, but it is currently filled with an amazing selection of their vibrant, abstract posters from the 1960s and 70s.

Etsy Finds: Datter Industries

Alyssa — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:00:29 +0000

For the month of August, a series of guests will be filling in on DWL with daily posts. Today’s posts come to you from designer and illustrator Alyssa Nassner of Paper Bicycle. For more from Alyssa, be sure to check out her side projects Ten Paces and Draw and 101 Florals, her etsy shop and follow her on Twitter. Enjoy!

I’m a huge fan of Kaye Blegvad’s work and when I came across her jewelry shop, Datter Industries, I was instantly smitten. Each piece is absolutely stunning, and the subject matter, similar to her illustration work, is both dark and delicate. I can’t wait to make one of these pieces my own, but the hard part is choosing which! Visit the Datter Industries shop here.
