Wearable Art and Home Decor- Celebrate the Masterpiece you Are!

Wearable Art and Home Decor- Fractal Art by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design on VIDA.
 

When you see art that you love for your house, do you ever wish you could find that same design in a beautiful scarf, shawl, jewelry or a top? Or maybe a tie for your favorite guy? I know I do! Wearable art! Why not, you are a work of art yourself. Celebrate that! 

Wouldn’t it be great if the products were eco-friendly and also supported social programs for those that made the beautiful art for you to wear?

As a fractal artist and Interior Designer, you may have seen my posts about how I create home décor from my art and use it in my designs My Artist Studio at Society 6 offers framed art prints, canvas, metal and wood art, furniture, bedding, curtains, pillows, wall hangings, tote bags and more. 

This week, I discovered VIDA, where they take wearable art to a whole new level and I was so excited, I opened a second artist studio on Vida! Finally I could see how my art would look on beautiful wool, cashmere and silk scarves, tops and jewelry! They also have beautiful handbags, purses, leather wallets and more. And I love their glass platters and wood wall art for home decor!

The thing I love most about Vida however, is their commitment to creating eco-friendly products, sustainability and ethical manufacturing. Most of VIDA’s products are made from natural materials or post-consumer recycled materials and biodegradable fabrics. Purchases provides social programs to their makers, those who bring the art to life, tailored to the needs of their unique communities, from teaching basic literacy in Pakistan to women’s empowerment in Turkey.

Here is an example of some of my favorite products using my Kaleidoscope design.

Vida offers scarves, bags, apparel and home decor. My favorites are the Modal scarves, the Statement Bags, the Essential Tops and the Glass platters.

Scarves

I love the modal scarves! They are 28 x 78″ and made of 100% Lenzing Modal which is a luxuriously soft botanic silk fabric made of beechwood. It is eco-friendly and its fineness is comparable to that of natural silk.

They also have beautiful wool, silk and cotton scarves. also eco-friendly and some of the proceeds go to social and financial literacy programs in India and Turkey. The cashmere scarves are spun from fine Kashmir goat hair (more than twice as warm as standard sheep’s wool).  Some are also made with 20% silk. The wool ponchos are made from 100% twill wool. Or try some of the pure silk or cotton scarves.

Jewelry

 As a jewelry artist as well as a designer, I had always wondered how my fractal art would look on jewelry but was never sure how to create it. I was thrilled to see they could create jewelry and really love the round pendants and rings in particular. The necklaces come in other shapes as well and on metal or bamboo.
