Quote of the week…
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.”
— Camille Pissarro
Inspirational artist of the week… Sophie Digard
Since 1999, designer Sophie Digard has been designing fashion accessories and textile objects in her Paris studio. Inspired by the infinite variation of organic elements, Digard uses natural materials—Italian wool or Belgian linen—that are dyed to her specifications in a range of carefully selected colors. They are then sent to the Indian Ocean to be transformed into beautiful objects in Digard’s own workshops. Each creation mirrors her belief that color is of primary importance, and she never repeats the same chromatic combination in any one object. All seemingly single threads are actually composed of two colors intermingled to create a subtle play of light and shade. Digard’s unique necklaces demonstrate the intersection between the artist’s intuitive and meticulous creative work and her artisanal know-how.





Hand lettering inspiration of the week: Zak Foster
Zak Foster is a self-taught textile artist and quilter, known for his unique and often improvisational approach to quilting. He is particularly drawn to creating memory quilts and burial quilts, exploring themes of history, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves. Foster’s work often incorporates reclaimed fabrics and natural dyes, and he has become a community organizer and advocate for social justice through his quilting.
