Flickr Curator: Diana Fayt.

Today's Flickr Curator is the amazing ceramist Diana Fayt. Diana's ceramics are so lovely and inspiring, and her flickr faves selections today are just as amazing as her designs. Knowing Diana's beautiful work, I can see why she might be inspired by the flickr images below. If you'd like to see Diana's ceramics, you can find them on her blog, one black bird, as well as in her etsy shop. I think you'll fall in love, and also see the creative connection with her selections below.

Diana explains her beautiful collection of images: "I tend to favorite images I like on first impulse and really don't think too much about why I like something. It was interesting to look through my collection of favorites and see that there were three running themes that dictated my choices. Drawings and images in red and black, portraits of people, and funny or cute animal pictures. I decided on sharing some of my favorite red and black drawings with you all. I have always loved drawings and line (it's the frustrated illustrator in me). Thick, thin, squiggly, straight, bold, subtle...A line can communicate so much in the way it's drawn and I really think it reveals a lot about the Artist. And for the red, well I haven't figured out what it is with me and red, I just love it...to the point that it makes my heart skip a beat when I see it."
