Coffee Cake 15 Ways

To me autumn really harkens in the season of the coffee cake and indoor entertaining, and whether it’s Entenmann’s or from scratch I love a good one. Preferably with a near equal ratio of cake to crumbly topping, the kind that’s so messy you need to eat it over the sink or a napkin. These fifteen recipes look like solid contenders!

Chris Roberts-Antieau / Genius Eyes

 

Self-taught textile artist Chris Roberts-Antieau blames her success on her failures. (You read that right.) She wasn’t the best student and didn’t go to college or art school, and as a result no one ever told Chris what not to do. Instead she listened to that inner voice we all have and started creating some amaaaazing art, like my favorite series Genius Eyes, that focuses on the eyes of those considered geniuses in their respective fields of work

Silk Diaries

 

I’m 100% behind what Silk Diaries is creating, especially during these harrowing times. They’re hand-dyeing silk as a self-soother for stress and anxiety to empower women in the workplace. Their most recent collection, Good Intentions, is 100% Habotai silk that’s botanically dyed with various plants, fruits, vegetables, tree barks, and cochineal (a tiny bug on the cactus flower, once thought to be as valuable as gold!). Silk Diaries is continuing to move the brand towards more sustainable practices.

Nicolai Howalt / Light Break Wavelengths

 

Another guessing game – what medium do you think makes up Nicolai Howalt‘s Light Break Wavelengths series? Paint? Ink? Maybe something less common? The answer is none of the above, it’s photography. Howalt challenges the boundaries of photos while exploring existential issues like the abstract and the real, life and death, horror and fascination, finite and infinite.

Nose Candleholder

 

While still a concept, Quentin de Coster’s NOSE is a sculptural candleholder that’s quirky and functional. The protruding “nose” is what holds the taper in place, while also managing to look modern and abstract when not in use.

John Kviar

 

John Kviar took his love of and experience with graffiti and followed a path that’s recently led to a career as a painter. In his oil paintings Kviar has freed himself from any distinctive human character traits, yet manages to fill each canvas with unique characters.

Camille Chew / Witch Series

 

Let’s start this Friday the 13th – in October, no less – with these kooky spooky fun illustrations from Camille Chew‘s Witch Series! If you look closely you’ll notice that each piece includes that particular witch’s familiar (familiar spirits are believed to be supernatural entities that assist witches in their practice of magic). I love the dark darks and electric neons she uses so much.
