The Beauty of Raw Materials

May 21, 2014 by Kate Leave a Comment

The beauty of raw materials

Hi Everyone! Last week I featured a DIY mineral scape that involved a range of materials, from marble tiles to brass hardware. Have you been noticing the current design trend of metal, stone, glass and wood? A true celebration of raw materials! One day the geo forms and marble mania will subside, but now that marble and brass are officially “back”, they can always be part of an ’80s lover’s design collection. And thanks to sites like Etsy, you can order these materials in bulk at reasonable prices. Bring on the DIY projects…or simply display them as is for a retro-meets-modern look!

ETSY IMAGE SOURCES (Clockwise from the top left):

Tumbled Red/Pink Marble Tiles from Found on Curb

No-Hole Raw Brass Triangle Charms from Yummy Treasures

Marbled Pastel Contact Paper from Secret Place Vintage

Raw brass hexagon charms from Geometric Land

Tumbled Green Marble Squares from Found on Curb

Happy crafting!
