Ann Kelle Designs

by Tekesia

As you can probably tell by now, I love prints and I love bright colors. Recently, I had the pleasure of customizing one of my Teezy prints for Designer Kelle Boyd of Anne Kelle Designs. While coming up with color combinations for Kelle’s print, I checked out her studio and LOVED her work immediately. Her shop is full of gorgeous prints and bright colors. Kelle takes prints, fabric and paper and turns them into products that are so full of excitement and character. For me, even when I’m picking out something as simple as an address label, I want it to be fun (and stylish) and that’s one reason why I really love these designs. What about you guys?!?

Kelle also has a new line of fabrics called Urban Zoologie that is out in stores now. Aren’t they cute?! My favorites are the pink of course

Here is the print that I customized for Kelle. I LOVE how she styled it!! Just makes me think of summer!

The NEW Fashion and Figure Art

by Tekesia

I LOVE figure art and there are so many talented figure artists on Etsy. Figure art is such a beautiful form of feminine expression. It’s a classical form of art, but some artists have made it much more contemporary, which I love. Some of my favorite pieces use bright and bold colors and are really hot! I have been collecting my favorites on Etsy and here they are! I hope you like them!

This is my print (from Krystyna) which I need to get a frame for. I haven’t decided where I’m going to put it yet, but I love the colors! Krystyna was amazing when I contacted her. The print wasn’t for sale in the shop but I happened to see it in another one of her photographs. She was kind enough to reproduce the print for me. Thanks Krystyna!

Mixed Media & Thread Installations by Gabriel Dawe

by Tekesia

I had to share these installations with you all because when I saw them over on Design Sponge I was literally in awe. Gabriel Dawe is a Graphic Designer turned Installation Artist. On a mission to find creative freedom, Gabriel sought out other forms of art in the form of textiles and embroidery. Using of 50 miles of thread, his installations almost create a sense of euphoria, taking you to a whole other place. I absolutely LOVE his use of colors and the way that he has combined the threads to merge and create gorgeous dreamy gradations. I would love to see these in person.

What do you think? Has anyone seen any of these installations up close? I believe he has an exhibition in Texas.
