In “Bullfinch and Barbury” you can discover a wide variety of handcrafted adornments made of copper and brass in fantastic color combinations!

As the crafter notes: “I draw inspiration for my designs from varied sources, like a few long-adored antiques, exotic flowering plants and even the manner in which color projects personality”.

Spray Can Love

Chris Brett is a Toronto based mixed media artist with a truly rich and fresh portfolio. It’s easy to see how much urban art and especially graffiti has influenced his work.

As I read in his site: “Chris’ work has a slightly goofy and jaded sense of humor; a laugh to keep from crying sense of mania in rich color and dark tones. A reaction to the good & bad things that life can sometimes hand you.”

Take a look at his delicious spray can art! How original is that?!!

Missy Industry’s silver jewelry collection is an interesting combination of both horror and romance. Her pieces are hand made and I particularly like the boldness and freshness of her designs.

As Missy notes: “Inspired by tattoos, graphic design, mechanics, electronic music, heavy metal fashion, horror films, witchcraft, tribes, romance...”

A must have for every vintage- gothic-rocker out there. Shop here!

Such an amazing idea and such a fantastic outcome! In Tresija’s online shop you can find these original and oh so cool bracelets made out of old records.

Vinyl is manipulated into various imaginative shapes while still hot and all pieces are hand cut and formed by the designer.

Space Boy Robots

Jordo and Marcos are the 2 talented toy designers behind Space Boy Robot! Unique, handmade and most importantly, filled with inspiring imagination and creativity, these robot characters should really be considered art objects!

As the designers note: “Each robot contains a secret compartment that is usually unnoticed by most folks. The robot can be used to store: money, engagement rings, tiny pictures, wishes, paper clips, keys, Xanax, rocks, matches, glitter, beads, teeth, lint, bolts and screws, girls’ phone numbers, various shiny objects, newspaper clippings, a locket of hair from that girl you’ve been secretly stalking, a lucky 4 leaf clover, a shower cap from a posh hotel and much much more!”

Rush to their shop to get your own space boy robot or go for their flickr album and be amazed by even more creations!
