Charlotte Lancelot Stitched Funiture

I recently came across Charlotte Lancelot's gorgeous stitched furnishings on Bliss. I was intrigued, so I decided to check out her website. Sure enough, I discovered an array of unique forms of product design. Some of my personal faves are the Felt Memo Board, Orchid Tableware and Forget-Me-Knot Hooks. Thought I would share those with you today :)

Tactile {Graphic} Design 

I think I'll take a tip from Maricor/Maricar and stitch my next set of business cards... what a wonderful way to play with typography!

Needlework By Inmates

Fine Cell Work - Have you heard of this before? I hadn't until a few days ago, and believe it's truly an inspirational idea. Currently used in 26 prisons around Europe, it was created to enable prisoners to learn needlecraft skills and be paid for their efforts. It serves as a rehabilitation sytem that gives prisoners (most of which are males) the opportunity to earn and save money and the chance to reflect on their lives and rebuild themselves through craft...  incredible! I would love to see this brought over to the States...
