Last week, I found myself inexplicably drawn to the room below featured on Design Sponge. I say inexplicably because, while the room is nice enough as is, there wasn't anything there I hadn't seen before. Then I realized it was the incredibly sweet artwork hanging above the bed that drew me in.I was hooked and had to know more. A tiny bit of research led me to Rachel Castle -- an Australian jack-of-all trades who designs these touching fabric collages in addition to a line of bedding.
I know some people might look at this and say, "I can do that." Well maybe you can, and if you can, you should! Personally though, I'd much rather save up for the artist's original. I don't conceptualize it differently than I do most modern art -- sure I could paint that giant red dot in the middle of a canvas -- but I didn't. That's why the one in museum costs six figures and I wouldn't be able to sell my version for 5 bucks at a low-rent craft fair.
Get to know more about Rachel's art here. And P.S. loved ones -- I would love to see one of Rachel's pieces show up for my birthday! Hint. Hint.
