Michael Jackson: Craftsters, Artists Pay Tribute
Filed under: crafts
Michael Jackson is being remembered that week via online arts and crafts forums. Some items up for viewing (and often for sale) predate the superstar’s June 25 death but are now receiving renewed Web exposure. An array of type new Jackson-themed works are plus appearing as crafters and artists start paying tribute to the performer.
Some gems in the mix include this Blue Planet Creations black canvas tote bag with sequin glove design. While you’re by at Etsy, check out this nicely designed mini toss pillow cover by piece of melon. The off-white cover features Michael Jackson’s face, dramatically hand-stenciled in black ink.
This leather purse by Craftster member Karen Louise M. is definitely worth a look. Originally shared with the Craftster community back in 2007, the bag features the “Thriller” album cover on what looks to be dark brown leather with brown blanket stitched edges.
Michael Jackson and blanket stitching?! An strange combination of materials, for certain, but I think it really works!
Graphic art pieces are plus popping up on the Web. The Michael Jackson vector graphics posted yesterday at Design Freebies can be downloaded for free. Meanwhile, Computer Love hyperlinks to a limited edition Thriller-themed print by Cesar Moreno.
If you’re looking for Michael-inspired handmade art and/or crafts, there’s lots more to see on the Web including pendants, t-shirts, decals and, naturally, handmade sequined gloves. Check out Craftzine, Craft Gossip, Craft Blips or this Craftster forum to see what I mean.
