nice handiwork


yet another gem of the digital collection of the new york public library, the peasant art of subcarpathian russia published in 1926. great inspiration for patterns, embroidery, and your (and my) spring gypsy looks.

Ok, I know these images are huge, but it's kind of worth it...and this isn't even HALF of them! Yet another gem in the New York Public Library digital collections are the textile designs and drawings of E.A. Seguy. Absolutely stunning in their use of color, shape, pattern! Don't you just want to wallpaper your house in this? I'm not even loving the bugs or butterflies that much, but I'm still so blown away by the colors!
