Jewelry maker turned tapestry artist is weaving the most stunning works of art. Her pieces are bright, bold, and one of a kind.  Each piece is more beautiful than the next which seems impossible when you experience your first piece of Tammy Kanat’s work.  I discovered Tammy Kanat, like many other fab finds, on Instagram.   I instantly fell in love with this Australian fibre artist’s work.  She is the creator of all things lovely.  I absolutely would love to hang a piece of Tammy’s tapestry but till then I will keep admiring from Insta.  Tammy Kanat . I also appreciate her laid back vibe in the 1st image.

A Textile Love Affair With ace & jig

It is all about collaboration!  This is absolutely true with Carey Vaughan and Jenna Wilson, the two ladies behind ace & jig.  They met years ago as fashion design interns then fast forward to being reunited over their absolute love around antique textiles.  ace & jig is where pattern playing is at its best!  The more you experience the pieces the more you fall in love.  Every piece has its own personality and is waiting to be worn and enjoyed.  The colors and patterns can make even the most conservative lady branch out of their comfort zone.  ace & jig are timeless pieces that you build upon.  They don’t read in the moment trend and they don’t read boring!  They are effortless.  You can layer, wear alone, and mix and match any piece.  ace & jig has no rules except that you must love what you own if not then swap it with another ace & jig fan.
