Various Projects

every monday, i look forward to seeing jeana sohn's newest entry in her closet visit series. today's post on momoko suzuki is no joke - loads of textile & home inspiration, especially the hanging handmade straw sculpture (pendant? chandelier?) that i'm now slightly obsessing over.
google just taught me that these are himmeli - traditional finnish christmas ornaments, made of straw & string, that ensure a plentiful rye crop for the coming season - the bigger the ornament, the bigger the crop. looks like momoko better make room when the harvest comes in, and i have a new project...
reminds me a bit of the beautiful jewelry by (l-r) hanna sandin & lauren manoogian.
