Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

I was pointed to check out Beautifeel, a shoe label and it just occurred to me that there are more and more entrepreneurs in the online shopping industry today. Not sure if you notice but indie fashion and indie labels is growing in popularity towards the mainstream fashion movements too. What’s encouraging is that these indie labels have even made it to the catwalk and created a greater awareness among fashionistas and trendsetters.

Ceramic vase, ‘Ancestors of Cupara’ This vase, with its generous curves and graceful shape, comes from Shiroque. He takes his inspiration from the so-called “magic plates,” painted on ceramic and discovered in Cupara (Arequipa). No one knows the meaning of the figures, but they are believed to be a part of rituals and offerings for Pachamama, or mother earth.

Personally I do hope that online shopping for indie labels and label fashion will grow since the internet is the fastest way to reach the masses. For unique handcrafted jewelry, handmade, unique art vases, handcrafted jewelery, handcrafted beaded jewelry, unique handcrafted home products or handcrafted gifts, I like to shop at Novica, an online shop that represents artisans from all over the world.

My first experience on the potter’s wheel was in my art school days where ceramics was one of the elective subjects. I couldn’t tell you how excited I was when I knew that I was going to mess with the clay on the wheel – that was a memorable and fun experience. But the process of throwing the clay, getting skillful on the potter’s wheel and learning the art of firing and glazing and making your first vase isn’t an easy one.

Though the art of ceramics making is more than just getting behind the wheel, I was impressed that anyone can learn how to create a piece of pottery with a centering device. Apparently, the QuickCenter centering on the potter’s wheel requires no experience for the teachers or students. This means that with this creative device, you can probably create your first handmade artistic pottery! Hopefully, more new products for the potter’s wheel can be added for the pottery enthusiasts.
