I have a thing for owls, I can’t really explain why but when it comes down to this big headed animal and it’s huge eyes I melt inside…
Adiya Berkovich and her magic hands is the one responsible for all these Buligaia Owls. She manages to capture their lovable face expressions and I just love it!
All I want to do do is grab Owl John (my absolute fav) and cuddle him!

Just one more thing, I really enjoyed the movie Legend of the Guardians. Yep, it’s about owls ;)

When was the last time you payed attention to velcro?
It seems like Yong Joo Kim eats sleeps and breathes velcro… “Think of the velcro: a long strip of rough, bland, and industrial object, seen on shoes, bags, watches, and at the grocery store. As I pay close attention to it and its system of organization in my environment, I find new ways of looking, new ways of decomposing and composing them, and new ways of creating a relationship between it and our body.”
I’m in owe of her brilliant idea, there is nothing more I can say!

Einat Burg and her “Frog” fabrics are no strangers to DesignBreak. “Curiosity is a wearable raw material” is one of those sayings that Einat believes in with passion.
Her latest handmade gauze wrap stole shawls defiantly fall under the show stopper category. With the help of model and dancer Tamar Soon, I’m experiencing a shawl madness.
All these magnificent shawls are awaiting at Frog’s Etsy Shop.

I kept hearing the name Noa Kedmi all over and I was thrilled when she wrote me and told me about her latest revelation.
As a recent textile design graduate Noa began taking pictures of her fellow graduate’s graduation projects, only then she discovered that photographing textile is exactly what she wants to do for the rest of her life. She knows all the inside secrets so that’s why her photographs tell a different story.
Here is a glimpse of Noa’s pictures of Tal Lebendiger’s “Between the Knots” graduation project.

So winter has arrived, there is no doubt about it! I prayed for the god of seasons and asked him to have mercy and skip this damn season just once… I guess he was too busy with Xmas and all to answer my prayers.
And in winter time you have to protect yourself with just the right accessories. Right? Right!
Shirly Rov, one of those graduates that I knew I had to keep my eyes on, just came up with these beautiful hand dyed cotton scarfs. I have a feeling the yellow one will find it’s way to my neck real soon :)
BTW, you can read my One On One with Shirly right here.

The power couple Shelly and Elon Satat-Kombor aka “CoupleOf” have done it again.
These two are like the bad kids on the Israeli shoeground. They are not afraid to bend or even break the rules and the outcome is their most wild collection by far.
My heart is racing and there are no words to describe the emotions that run deep and high.
Anyways, the good news is that you and I can find all this masculine beauty at Amalia Boutique.

Experiencing Maya Shleifer’s train rides through her eyes and doodles makes me consider buying my own ticket just for the sake of staring… Yep, I’m one of these people who don’t get tired of starring and making up stories about other people’s life… So, when I first stumbled upon Maya’s “In The Train” it felt like I’ve already seen all these people and kinda know their stories… There is something quite endearing and touching with the way Maya captures all these moments with only black ink and bumpy rides.
It feels like a gloomy Wednesday so maybe that’s why my thoughts are gloomy as well…

Over the weekend I went to see the documentary Life in Stills by Tamar Tal. “At the age of 96, Miriam Weissenstein never imagined that she would be facing a new chapter in her life. But when The Photo House was destined for demolition, even this opinionated and uncompromising woman knew she needed help.” Everyone who knows how it feels to watch your loved ones grow old will find this piece overwhelming. For me, the special bond between Miriam and her grandson Ben is priceless and a lesson to be learned. I can’t explain all the emotions that ran through me… Tamar, just wanted to say THANK YOU!

Sometimes a pillow is just a pillow but in this case it’s more like a WILLO.
If you are one of those people who really but really love their plants I have a feeling you’ll want one of these WILLO’s.
FYI, Studio Libel is the one responsible for this breath of fresh air and the duo behind it is Netanela Daniel and Pazit Yahalomi. Oh, and “Libel” stands for “Dragonfly”.

Well, well, well isn’t this the most adorable bunch you’ve ever seen?!
Lauren Bradshaw’s Walnut Animal Society is quite a smart and sophisticated group! They say “god is in the details” and in this particular case I’m sure that god is pretty impressed with all the extra thoughtful and stylish add ons.
All is left to say is love me some you ;)
