Buttons. Buttons. Buttons.






















I first saw Penny Leaver Green's work in Harvey Nichols, Bristol in January of this year. Her button phobeia artwork was inspirational, textural and fact filled. Displaying the button phobeia work in Harvey Nic's was a cleverly thought out and sucessful idea as it was set in one of Bristol's biggest department stores, which houses thousands of garments with buttons on!

Dalton Ghetti.

After staring at an email from a friend containing Ghetti's work, I finally came to the realisation that it was real! Mesmerized by the intricate work on such a small scale, I have respect for his miniature masterpieces.

Mrs.Smith


Nice idea?...I think so!
This is the work of the mischievous under cover artist Mrs.Smith. She struck Plymouth's sundial with a surprise injection of cheerful textiles. She has been compared to the urban graffiti artist Banksy.

Tea cups.


Loving this Madeleine Boulesteix chandelier.
"I liked the idea of making something opulent - a chandelier - but out of humble objects."
Her charity shop, car boot and scrap metal yard finds have created this jaw droppingly exquisite piece of functional art.
