san francisco artist diana fayt is having a fantastic new show at the candy store starting next thursday, november 8th. FOLKLORE is a series of “kerchiefed old world ladies” drawn, painted and collaged onto used cardboard envelopes that diana collected from friends from all over the world. i love the way the women’s faces combine with diana’s bright colors and the modern postal markings. there will be ceramics involved as well, the little rooster below is my favorite. click here for more information on diana and here for directions to the candystore.
[stay tuned for a big guide to credenzas later this afternoon- my favorite piece of furniture]

These are fantastic. Nothing stirs the soul like old ladies.
I wish I could give you a photo of my grandmother to do like that. I’m from Bosnia, all the old ladies look like that. Beautiful work :).
