Liane Tyrrel
"I'm left handed. I like tattoos.  I love swimming out deep.  I have a rooster and 11 laying hens; one of which has a crooked beak.  I dream daily about living a real simple life in a small cabin with a screened porch and vegetable gardens all about.  I once had my astrology chart read and it seems I will be a writer one day."

whimsical wednesday :: rufus and paco

Rufus and Paco
Two artists that live in a great section of Los Angeles, with their dogs Max and Milo, and cats, Willow and Ruby.  Rufus works in tin, wood, and fabric, doing mostly assemblages with found objects. Paco is a painter by trade, and works with mixed media, and also finds assemblage his favorite type of art.  "The Boys", as they are known, are always on the lookout for findings of all kinds. There is no such thing, as something that can't be turned into art.

whimsical wednesday :: piper and paisley

Piper and Paisley
bad hair day = good hat
"Way back in 2007, Piper and Paisley was born out of the basement of a teeny little house in Missoula, Montana.  I am a hat girl. Always have been.  When we decided to grow a family, I really couldn't justify my hat habit any longer, but I had the "new-mom-always-looks-like-a-truck-just-hit-her" look goin' on, and I really needed something to make me look a little more on my game.  So I made some hats.  Then I sold some hats.  Now here I am.
Piper and Paisley hats are all made by me.  I draft all of my patterns by hand, and adjust them for the best fit."

"I have always loved junk and I have always created.  I am most inspired by second hand ingredients."

JunkerJane has graced the cover of Stuffed Magazine titled "The Crafting Of Softies" and abounds to offer prints, pins, dolls, and plush goodness. Her works are magnificent.

whimsical wednesday :: papercuthearts and baltica

PaperCutHearts
Repurposing outdated cartography and vintage lexicography into 
papercut art for the one you heart.
"Eight years ago I started self-studying Eastern European folklore 
paper cutting and two years later transitioned to one-sheet solid color 
cutouts.  During that time I arrived at my own style which I'm now 
excited to share with you on etsy.  I especially love working with 
outdated maps, dictionaries, vintage books and music sheets creating 
one-of-a-kind custom cartography and lexicography paper-cut art for 
those you heart."
and..
if that is not endearing enough, her handmade jewelry is stunning.

travelling down the greenway

The Storque :: Travelling Down the Greenway
"Since the day I moved into my very first home, I have been 
dedicated to living an eco-friendly lifestyle.  I began with small 
steps toward living green like switching to energy saving 
light bulbs, making my own natural cleaning products, supporting 
local businesses and buying organic locally grown produce.  
Once I realized how easy it was to adapt to these changes, 
I became interested in doing a lot more."

readymade off the rack

Jane Flanagan of Ill Seen, Ill Said has written a feature with the ReadyMade Off the Rack.
"I’m a total Etsy-holic… I’ve bought artwork, jewelry, ceramics, vintage home accessories and used and new clothes. So, why do I have a mental block when it comes to the thought of buying handmade lingerie? I guess I’ve shopped in all manner of clothes shops, but lingerie I’ve always bought in one of those frou frou boutiques with matronly ladies who whip a tape measure around you without prompting. But, with the help of these two beautiful Etsy stores, I’m starting to open my mind!"...
