At first glance I guessed Caroline Larsen‘s works were embroidered, or maybe a modern take on tapestries. Both wrong. (You’ve caught on that this is one of my favorite games by now, right?) They’re freakin’ oil paintings. Tiny daubs and strokes create the textured appearance of each vintage-style piece. Check out a close-up of one of the pieces below – they essentially border on being sculptures.

Samantha Ives’ Maker + Mineral shop shows off her love of textiles and amazing pattern choices. Each item is screen-printed and sewn by hand in San Francisco for one-of-a-kind pieces. (That hand print is calling to me to buy it in a big way!)
