Spring is definitely in the air and I can’t help but notice so many arts and craft sites, shops and Facebook fan pages full of beautiful works of art.

The pastel colours, flowery patterned fabric and drift wood that feature in some of my favourite pieces have all been carefully put together by some very clever designers.  There’re just so many talented artists out there who are making/stitching/building and collaging gorgeous things at the moment!

Here are a selection of my favourite artists that I have been lucky enough to stumble upon lately. I hope you like them as much as I do!

Kirsty Elson Designs

Kirsty Elson is a fascinating artist based down in Cornwall. Her work is very much inspired by the coast and lots of her work incorporates beautiful pieces of driftwood and other found objects that she finds washed up along the shoreline.

As well as her driftwood pieces she also produces work using her trusty sewing machine and has created lovely greeting cards, baby mobiles and decorations that can be hung from trees, door knobs and other places around the home.

Here are a few images of Kirsty’s work.
