Wow it's been a while!

So sorry for the absence! I've been going through all sorts of wonderful but crazy changes in my life and I wanted to share some new artists I've found with all of you!

First off!
I'm absolutely in love with this Sedna's Tears necklace by SalmonberryDreams.
Absolutely gorgeous, with splendid attention to details and intricacy.


Definitely a wonderful statement piece for anyone looking for elegance!
Next up just in time for the warmer summer weather I am beyond in love with this Felted Pink Flowers Necklace by AVAoriginal. The flowers look real and show a beautiful, masterful approach to the materials.


Lots more beautiful items in both of these shops! I am always looking for new artists to write about, and I plan on updating this blog on a far more regular basis now. Have an artist you'd like to submit? Please do!

I look forward to hearing from you. melanie@melanielynndesign.com

Finally! A New Feature!!

Thanks everyone for hanging in there with me as I make my way through my last semester. Today I found an artist who made work I just had to show. Wonderful felted works including these adorable pins are available in Shanineal's shop.
About her self and her work Shanineal states that

"I have a deep love of color and an addiction to wool. Any way that I can find to play with these two is game for me. I also have an afinity for the days of yore. Those items that are vintage or just vintage in style. I most appreciate natural materials and use them in my work. I do have two bachelor degrees, one in Fine Art and one in Organic Horticulture. I like to think of my work as welding the two together."

Check out these adorable Love Button Brooches available in several colors. As a needle felter myself, I love seeing what people do with beautifully colored wools! I think this heart would look absolutely wonderful on the lapel of any blazer.

Also check out this Four Petals Brooch also available in several colors! At 3.5" this flower is sure to make a statement and brighten up your outfits! I love the subtle relief of the curved petals and the wonderful color contrast!

Be sure to check out all the wonderful items in her shop! She also has a wonderful assortment of great purses and bowls

Take care and stay stylish =)
