So...I am obviously quite excited to see new work by the super-talented Chilean designer Karen Barbé.
There are some designers/crafters who just, in my opinion, "get it". And by "it" I mean, they get the whole thing. How to mix and pick materials, how to take photos, how to present their work, and how to combine things in a way that feels right.
This designer is one of those people. There's an element of composition in her work, and an attention to the qualities of the things and colors the works with that creates a really delicious result.
She now has a store
And her blog is a great place to keep up with her doings
Not to mention, her flickr photostream is chock full of bright inspirations.
Karen, if you're reading this, I can't wait to see more from you! Congratulations on your new shop! xx susy
