Folksy Handmade - Shapes


I was trying to think of a theme for this week's Folksy Friday, as I've been doing gift idea lists. I started off with a funky brights train of thought. Then I came across a couple of items that the patterns gave me the new idea of shapes. All these items have designs made with shapes, and a lot of them are bright and colourful too, so still fit my funky brights original idea. These would make great gifts for anyone that likes lots of colour, or clean, retro design. Like me. :  )

Folksy Handmade - Mexico


This Folksy Friday was inspired by my handpainted flower pots which use stylised Mexican Aztec patterns. I really love the warm colours you find in Central American art. So I've collected together a selection of items inspired by Mexico, including their holiday celebration for The Day of the Dead, and Mexican Folk Art, Papel Picado. A fab mix of bright colours, folk art, and geometric patterns.
