A Favorite Etsy Shop


Textile designer, Lee Coren makes scarves, bags, and totes from her studio in Jaffa, Israel. She uses cotton, silk, and vegan leather and suede. Her pieces reflect the urban environment in which she lives and works, and her need for, as she says, "escapism and a breath of fresh air." She screen prints and digitally prints from her own photographs, and her colors are spectacular.

Is It Art?

Is architecture art? Are the details of a structure art, or are these photographs the work of art? What makes a structure or details of a structure a work of art?
 Is there art in the line? In the contrast of curves and rigidity?
 Is there beauty in color and texture contrasts?
 Is art always timeless? Or can it be of the moment?
Art is in the details. See beautiful details to create any space at StudioLizzy on Etsy. See today's Facebook post at www.facebook.com/cynthiacavanaugh05
