Handpicked on Etsy
Stripes are alternating bands of contrasting colors and/or texture that run in the same direction, either precisely parallel or in wavy, organic bands. They are the building blocks of tartan designs --in America referred to as "plaid" -- which I will save as another day's topic. The variations in stripe patterns are broad not only in color, but in that they may be petite in scale and restful to the eye, or bold and lively depending on width and rhythm based on spacing and repetition. Today's selections reflect some of the many variations in a range of styles from freehand to precise, from elegant to playful, created by talented artisans using their chosen medium, material and technique.

fabulous belt buckle!!
That belt buckle is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
The stripes are such a dramatic use of design elements. The patterns are aided by the dramatic colors these artists used. From the ceramic dish to the really bold red and white pantaloons, I find them all absolutely wonderfully conceived and executed. As always you have selected works not only cleverly crafted but also wonderfully strong in both texture and color.
Congrats to all for being featured.
