ARTIST STORY | Alison Gledhill


I love these pretty tied-dyed /leather bags from etsy shop Gracedesign by Alison Gledhill. They are serene, and a perfect match of beauty & function. Alison Gledhill is an designer and artist living in Toronto, Canada. With a background in textiles and costume design, she creates these beautifully hand crafted bags, scarfs, and kimono jackets. She draws inspiration from her many world travels and nature.
“I find inspiration in the sunshine and the quiet, solitude, nature and its wonderfulness, animals and their often hilarious and heartbreakingly beautiful eccentricities, excellent music and dancing outdoors in the summer, coffee and wine, colour, texture and my lifelong search for beauty.” -Allison

COLOR STORY | Neon Yellow & Mustard


Neon Neon everywhere! Neon color came in last year and the neon’s stuck around for another season. I must confess, as a child of the eighties I am pretty happy about it! I have fond memories of my rainbow fluorescent nails and my alternating pink & green neon socks that I used to wear! Little did I know how progressive I was at nine! Here is a fun color story of neon yellow & mustard ALL from ETSY!
So click to see each of these great Etsy finds!!!

She takes her inspiration from her passion for color, cartoons, street art, and heavy metal music. After much experimentation, she developed her own unique method for printing on leather. Her line includes phone cases, cuff bracelets, belts, wallets, and more. Recently, she has also started a collection of printed pattern leather for other crafters to use in their own work. Noa’s goal as a artist to help add more color to our world, who wouldn’t want that?
