The art of making and selling hats

3-15 hours in the making in a shop in Buenos Aires Argentina leads to some of these beautiful hats. Time very well spend. 

The hats are designed by the lovely Cecil Sain with an impressing artbook of her work. All of the hats are 100% hand made and who would not love to go out wearing one of these couture babies?

Go to Cecil Sain Facebook site for more information and more photos to enjoy. Maybe it's time to wear more hats this year? 

Wings to fly

The paintings by Amy Judd capture women and birds, feathers and bodies. All in all they host a very special sensual atmosphere. Is there a distance between the woman and the bird or are they one and the same? We are (almost) lost for words by the amazing paintings by Amy Judd.

Amy was born i 1980 and is currently living and working in London (UK). Go to her website for more paintings and further information.

Female features

Water baby

We especially like his portraits of women with what appears to be only a few strokes. Within every illustration you sense the love and uniqueness of the woman pictured. Take a stroll in the CW universe.
