Bears + Brooch = Bearch

These Bears are my new favorite thing. They seem to be bears carrying brooches but turn them around and see they are in fact brooches themselves! They come in every conceivable color combination.

Food Rings

The SouZouCreations store is based on Fukuoka (Japan) but the responsible for all this is a canadian artist named Sofia. They offer kawaii handmade sweets jewelry and other cute things on Etsy. 

Have to admit, it'll be hard doing anything but stand/sit still. Won't want to break a nail ring, right?

Pretty!

Joanna Rutter

Joanna Rutter isn't only a talented silversmith, she has a great talent in displaying her products, too. The papercut elements add a second layer to the photos. They are telling little stories about birds floating on clouds, branches waving in the wind and clouds meeting their silver-relatives.
