]]> Milla Istomina from Mist Ceramics comes from a creative background, but it wasn’t until recent years that she started to take her artwork more seriously. What makes her artwork so special is the resourceful process that she uses to create her masterpieces. Specializing in pumpkin-themed pieces, her enchanting pottery puts will put the “awe” in autumn.

Her mother encouraged Milla to create fun and unusual things. However, her first encounter with sculpting happened in her earliest childhood when she picked up clay on a riverbank.

“My first experiments sculpting involved modeling clay or clay we picked up on a riverbank. The latter was an absolute delight to work with; although I could not fire it in the kiln, I could dry it in the sun and paint using gouache paints,” she shared in an interview for VoyageLa. She added that in 2018, she decided she would treat herself to a wheel-throwing class. And little to say it was love at first touch.

When in 2020 she lost her full-time job, Istomina decided to grab her handmade stuff out of the boxes, photograph them, and share her beautiful and unique pottery work on Etsy.

“I am more comfortable making my tableware on the potter’s wheel, while some pieces are exclusively hand-built. Etching, sgraffito, and underglaze painting are some of my favorite decorative techniques,” she added.

If you are interested in her creations, you can contact her on Etsy or make a commission, she loves creating new stuff.

]]> Is it a shiny rock? Is it a new kind of candy? No! It’s Halle Mardahl’s funky glass creations. The Danish designer creates lidded jars, vases, and lamps using colorful hand-blown glass.

Her distinct pieces are truly one of a kind, adding a splash of color to your otherwise boring kitchen. They are eccentric, with a touch of flamboyancy (but only just!)

Having graduated in fashion design from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, Mardahl has exhibited her work around the world and has received several grants from the Danish Arts Council.

Her website states that as a designer, she likes exploring “the contrast between organic shapes and hard materials… Her designs bring life to spaces, and are equally capable of standing alone or blending in.” We couldn’t agree more!

In the video, we see him taking apart several old pallets, slicing them into sheets, laminating them, and finally turning them into brand-new skateboards. The process itself is mesmerizing to watch and just so relaxing!

“Home for woodworking, construction, upcycling, reclaiming, welding, epoxy, etc,” Jackman’s Youtube channel description says. “My goals are to inspire you to make cool things, get people excited about making, and teaching while keeping it super fun and interesting. Thanks for stopping by!”

Click play below to watch him work and turn the old pallets into amazing new skateboards, step-by-step. His job could easily be compared with meditation and it looks like he’s loving its every single bit. At the end of the video, we get to see his skateboards in action.
