I wanted to share an excerpt from an article posted on Fashion Wire Daily. It is about textile artist Elyse Allen. But, first I have to say, I love her product shots. They make me smile.

excerpt from FWD:

Allen studied sculpture and textile design at the Rhode Island School of Design and is a part of a growing movement of designers and artisans eschewing flavor-of-the-month trends and cheap production techniques in favor of operations devoted to finely crafted, smaller scale handmade products. They don’t skimp on materials, and have a hefty price tag to match, but they justify the expense by producing something made to withstand a lifetime of use.

Absolute Music. To. My. Ears.

As Modarling put it, “I dig this article.” so I thought I would share. It is more good inspiration for January. Click Here to read the full article.
