Lee Schein | Blue Friday
I’m not really sure what I think about the color blue. I own one or two blueish pants but that’s about it. You know, I’m more of a yellow kind of gal. BUT, when Lee Schein told me about her oh-so-blue and fab brand new collection of felted necklaces, I knew I had to spread the word out there. Who knows, maybe the next step will be twisting Lee’s arm and make her make a yellow version of this extra special beaded necklaces. I have a feeling that Lee spent sooooooo much time making each and every bead that it’s almost outrageous! FYI, Lee is also one hell of an illustrator. I thought you’d like to refresh your memory ;)

Student Break | Hanan Kedmi | Felting. The Low-Tech Version
You probably heard before about Hanan Kedmi’s super intriguing graduation project. However, when I laid my hands on his latest photo shoot, I had to share it with you. It doesn’t hurt that your wife is your personal photographer. You got it, this power couple is the one behind this “low-tech” production, as they like to call it. In Hanan’s “Felt Follows Form”, he experimented with recycled aluminum parts (computer heat sinks) and felt, which shielded them. The felt not only holds the parts together but is also woven into them! Did I mention he is brilliant?

World Break | Giia | Felted Joy
Giia aka Guldal Aydinli is a woman of many wonders. She is a furniture and interior designer by day and a wicked felt designer 24/7. As I made my frequent visit to her Etsy Shop I discovered her STUNNING felted rings and oh my lord of the rings, I need each and every one of these rings!
Oh, and there is some rad neck pieces like this yellow bundle of joy ;)

Buligaia | Adiya Berkovich | Midnight Owls
  •  John | The Pirate Owl
  • Sleepyhead | The Sleep Lover Owl
  • The Nutcracker Owl
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 ;)

Student Break | Dana Bachar | Feel Your Felt

Felt. I’m starting to have an instant crush for just about any felt related design. It’s kinda insane but at least I’m aware of it. They say it’s the first step to admit it, right?
Dana Bachar, a 2011 graduate of the Industrial Design Department at the Holon Institute of Technology, designed a series of light fixtures that won me over in a heart beat. The shape, the colors and most importantly the felt are a mixture of perfection.
I’d love to hear about your favorite material if there is such a thing in your vocabulary ;)

Student Break | Polina Azarov | Adopt Your Furniture

Would you allow yourself to become attached to your drawer, as much as to your adorable dog? Polina Azarov, from the Industrial Design Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, created her own version of a felted Brady Bunch. These soft containers are a real family with each object having its own character and a different form of storage. “The softness and the proportions of the objects make them domestic creatures that we can enjoy adopting into our homes.”
All I can tell you is that my next piece of furniture will be my new pet! There is nothing wrong with that, is there?

Claudia Manokian | Hella Ganor | Felt Creation

When you take two mad talented designers and mix them together you are headed for a treat! That’s what happened when Claudia Manokian and Hella Ganor met.
Their felt jewelery are so simple yet so sophisticated. I hope they will take their collaboration to the next level.

My obsession with Irit Dulma’s felt creations began when I first saw her felted scarfs and bags at Agas and Tamar shop. Since then I follow her foot steps and am amazed with her endless creativity. Apaya, her last project which was designed in collaboration with Ayala Serfaty for Aqua Creations is mesmerizing! What’s next? I guess I’ll have to wait and see…
Irit’s Flickr page is the place for my endless hunger;)

Meirav Barzilay | I Found My Fortune

Meirav’s felt fortune cookie has a special place on my key chain.
I had a hard time deciding which project to show you because I love them all.
If I have to chose I would say her Goldenage Vase has a soft spot in my heart because of my own fear of aging…

Naama Brosh | Once scientist but no more…

Naama Brosh is not your common designer. She shared with me that she used to be a scientist but along the way realized that she can’t help but follow her real passion.
Her jewelry gives joy, at times childish but always with lots of humor.
I especially love her felt pieces because felt is my soft spot.

Student Break | Nitca | Winter season and beyond

Linor is a student at the Textile Design Department of Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.
I can stare at Linor’s scarfs all day long! I love the fact that every piece is made stitch by stitch and row by row. I’m sure it’s a hard work but it looks amazing! I’m especially obsessed with the felted ones and as you all know, every shopping spry starts with a tiny obsession.
BTW, Nitca means thread in Russian.
You should definitely visit Linor’s Etsy shop. Oh, and she also has a lovely blog.
