I had the good fortune to visit Roxi's ANGelRoX studio at the Old American Can Factory in Gowanus, Brooklyn, and I was thrilled to see that her creative work space reflects her design values and energy. Here are some images of highlights, details, and quiet corners of the ANGeLRoX Studio:]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/07/studio-tour-angelrox-fashion-designs/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/12/video-of-the-week-macaron-parlour-at-the-makers-market/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/12/video-of-the-week-macaron-parlour-at-the-makers-market/#comments Fri, 03 Dec 2010 22:26:04 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=4046

The jewelry designs by Natalia Porter of Wits Productions is seriously fun.  At first glace, her pieces are beautifully cast in silver, with fine details and bright accents.  But look a little closer.  That star burst ring?  It’s a kooshball, cast in silver.  Those brightly colored necklaces with bright blue or red cabochon links?  They’re [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/10/photo-of-the-day-10112010-silver-kooshball-ring-from-wits-productions/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/10/photo-of-the-day-october-4-2010-darin-r-gehrke-ceramics/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/10/photo-of-the-day-october-4-2010-darin-r-gehrke-ceramics/#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 13:42:13 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=3408

I bought a whole stack of their great smelling soaps over the holidays at the Makers Market at the Old American Can Factory, thinking I would put them in people’s Christmas stockings. But I didn’t.
