Susan O’Connor of Pretty Petal Studio is a photographer from the Washington, D.C. area who takes some of the most beautiful botanical images I’ve seen in quite a while. I love the way common flowers become the most interesting abstractions because of the way she captures them. Her use of depth of field and light creates a great atmosphere — the perfect cure for the winter blues!

A jewelry designer out of Boulder, Colorado, Leslie Chandler works under the moniker Flow Designs and creates stunning pieces that reference nature. Among my favorites in her current etsy shop are the stunning gold and freshwater pearl Cascade Grande earrings that I would love to wear on New Year’s Eve and the Avalon necklace that I can only imagine would throw little sparkles of light everywhere. Leslie’s work is delicate and interesting and each of her pieces is unique.
