Merry-Go-Round - 3 Crafters I love

Jump on our merry go round and join a group of artists/crafts-women from around the world as they link hands and tell you a little bit about their lives in craft.
Do look up the answers from the rest of this band of crafters (links to your left).
If they haven't posted yet, remember we all live in different time zones and check again later...
This month's theme:
Three crafters whose work I really like.


Here are favourites of mine, doing very different things, in different fields. What they have in common is that I love every single piece they make... It was really hard to select only a few photos, I had to stop at three for each of these amazing designers.







First, a photographer whose dreamy world feels very congenial and soothing to me:
Labokoff, whose work can be found on DaWanda and on Etsy







Next, a dressmaker from whom I bought a dress. Yes, only one! You have no idea how hard it is to accept that I cannot one every month. My precious... It's amazing how simple and elegant and easy to wear her creations are:
Larimeloom, whose work can also be found on
DaWanda and on Etsy







Last but not least, a jewellery maker whose bead woven pieces are so timelessly elegant, organic-looking and quite simply gorgeous:

Haiti

HAITI a besoin de notre aide. Je me sens impuissante, mais voici ce que je peux faire :
jusqu'à nouvel ordre, 50 % du prix que vous payez pour n'importe quel article dans mes boutiques sur DaWanda et sur Etsy ira à la Fondation de France, une structure caritative fiable (www.fondationdefrance.org - Projet Haiti).


HAITI needs our help. I feel pretty powerless, but what I can do is this:
until further notice, 50 % of the price you pay on any item in my shops on DaWanda and Etsy will go to Fondation de France, a reliable charity (www.fondationdefrance.org - Projet Haiti).
