kissadesign says about the piece featured above, "Freshly crafted in my studio garden, my Stemmed Star Urchins take on a floral form reminiscent of dahlias or globe thistles.

Actually the inspiration is my daughter, she has lots of stuff for her activities! Hubby and I need a bag that we can use together to keep her gear and our iPad. -iragrant

Perfect for summer - fresh and delicate color. -anakim

No matter Spring Summer Autumn or Winter, this fit perfect everyday. - steinschmuckdesign

In anticipation of a hot summer, I made a poupette inspired by the Fennec Fox of the Sahara. They are the smallest fox in the world and have very large ears that help them disperse body heat. -bonjourpoupette

We always find inspiration in the nature that surrounds our studio. In this wall art we incorporate texture into our work with these raku fired, hand carved, mosaic tiles. - romyandclare

Currently I ´m moving towards creating some minimalistic, pendants which I think go well with pure, cool unicolor linen fabric! - Donauluft

The "Sail Away" Cowl is hand-knit in an airy stitch out of pure cotton yarn; it's lightweight and versatile, and make a perfect summer travel accessory. -TickledPinkKnits

My inspiration is the beach of course and we got to go over the weekend for the first time this season. I really love this one particular restaurant that has great food with an ocean view! -SignsbyDiane

My inspiration comes from the flowers blooming in my garden - EvesLittleEarthlings

I've made a new necklace. Sisters/ friends. The Pendant is silver plated and comes with a Silver Plated Ball Chain - LouisestArt

Alfresco unisex messenger from ikabags

This is a new series of hand built platters I am working on. This one has textures from ferns and lace, with organic edges. OneClayBead

I painted flying home as the last stork leaves now Israel to europe and mark
the change from spring to summer. -TheJoyofColor

The combined colors of gold and silver highlighting the soft Prehnite remind me of the bright glow of the summer sun on tree leaves. -PoleStar
