Sandra Eterovic

You've gotta check out Sandra Eterovic's art (found in her etsy shop, on her flickr photostream, and her really great blog - and, yes, I am stalking her). I'm in love with her mix of Magritte surrealism and Scandinavian folk art. Her work is just so unique and fun...

tin ornaments

via display lady

In Oaxaca, Mexico, "hojalata" is a traditional folk art that goes back to the 16th century where artisans hand cut, punch, press, etch, and paint original pieces of art including Christmas ornaments. And I am such a fan of these decorations. They are so bright and colorful, but I especially love how they look when they start to age and fade (like the one in the bottom picture) - it is so much lovelier somehow...
