I have had in mind to post about folk art for some time now. That kitschy, street, utilitarian brand of artifacts that are naive and endearing at the same time. Before pop art, and kitsch crafts became such trends in the design world were these little hand made objects, appropriating the street and everyday so wonderfully.
Each little object brings to mind a particular street side, a mela or a weekly market one picked them up from. Their rough crude finishes lending texture and fun to nooks. Of course it helps that most of these objects are readily available in a corner bazaar near the home, at dirt cheap prices..
Great ideas for shoe string decor and beyond.
Here are a few snippets from around the house:
Charming indeed! I am a big fan too!
