Angela searches the world wide web - January 30, 2012
January 30, 2012
As I searched the world wide web this week I was all over the map - looking at little cabins in the mountains in Japan, heading over to Santiago, Chile to learn more about Karen Barbe, seeing the world through the lens of Marco Van Duyvendijk - a Dutch photographer with a portfolio full of photos from Georgia, Hong Kong, Romania + other interesting countries. I spent some time checking out the artists and their work over at Ashes & Milk and you'll learn how to make paper boat hats.
If you like little cabins this is the website for you - Cabin Porn. Cabin Porn is edited by the folks at Beaver Brook and submissions come from all over the world.
Here are a few.

Karen Barbe is a textile designer, embroiderer and weaver from Santiago, Chile. Her blog features original photos of the processes of her work, tutorials, her life in Chile, as well as a bit of nostalgia as in the photos below.
The workshop of a shoe repairer - a shop Karen covets, a photographic story about a man who has worked as a cobbler for the last 33 years and the lost art of shoe repair.
Karen hand weaves cushions - you may have seen them around.
Her embroidery sampler:
I got lost in her world for sure this week - you should definitely swing by and have a look at her beautiful photography. Believe me, grab a coffee or tea before you head over as I think you'll spend some time there.
DIY of the week - How to make a newspaper hat. (I know...silly, but for some reason this week the art of paper folding hats and the search for instructions was kind of fun)

Love the photography by Dutch photographer - Marco Van Duyvendijk
Ashes & Milk - an online collective of traditional techniques of art and craft with a modern touch. Their blog has photos of the artists at work along with interviews and discussions.

I'll be announcing two new Ace Camps this week - both of which I'm super stoked about. :)
