]]>Teal Bamboo is the alter ego of the beachcomber named Tina, who searches the beaches of Japan for everything from sea glass to discarded bottles. She built quite a following since starting her Instagram page five years ago and invited us to Japan’s beautiful shoreline.
Beachcombing is a truly wonderful hobby because it allows you to unlock the mysteries of the shore and discover all the delightful treasures that the tides brought our way. It’s all about searching the beaches for intriguing objects that have washed up from the sea – and Tina found quite a few over the years!
From, polished sea glass, driftwood, seashells, tiles, pebbles, and even the occasional message in a bottle, Tina has truly seen it all during her escapades along Japan’s shoreline. She’s not the only beachcomber to go viral on Instagram, but you’ll see sea treasures found everywhere from Tokyo to Okinawa on her page, and that’s exactly what makes her stand out as a true gem in the beachcombing community.

]]>Steph has been collecting sea glass and other treasures along the shores of Prince Edward Island for as long as she can remember. She even named her brand after this island, which earned itself this nickname because its soil is made up of reddish-colored sandstone.
Over the years, Steph collected quite an impressive assortment of the tiny treasures that were washed ashore on the local beaches, and she eventually decided to share them with the world.
“I have found every color of glass out there from the most basic colors green, white, and brown to some of the most rare red, orange, pink, yellow, and black. I’ve also found combo colors, fully intact bottles, bottle stoppers, and many beads, and marbles,” she explained on her Etsy page.
Steph initially started transforming found sea glass into jewelry, but she didn’t want the rest of her “treasures” to go to waste so she’s now also making everything from suncatchers to framed art.

Wood made a name for herself as a paper artist, and she specializes in creating “mixed media portraits and theatrical tableaus of mysterious beauty and solace whose identity is grounded in the timeless aesthetic and ethic of rural America,”, according to her official website.
Wood enjoys experimenting with “what paper can become” and her creations made quite a splash on social media, attracting 160,000 followers to her Instagram page. We’ve seen her create everything from paper feathers and mushrooms to insects and fruits over the years, but flowers are definitely her biggest specialty.
Each petal in her work is delicately formed and thoughtfully arranged. She’s so good at mimicking nature’s floral masterpieces that it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between her paper flowers and their real-life contra parts.

]]>Kamitsurest is an alter ego of a left-handed crochet artist from Japan, and it originates from the Japanese word for chamomile. She opted to name her brand after being inspired by the power this flower contains, explaining on her official website that chamomile stands for “strength in hardships”.
Kamitsurest enjoyed crocheting since a young age, and she returned to this hobby about six years ago. She became more serious about it in 2020, when crocheting experienced a boom in the face of a global pandemic, and started her own brand that year.
Kamitsurest is guided by the idea of “small flowers that bring healing” according to her Instagram bio, and she’s hoping her creations will heal you both when you wear them and when you look at them.
Unlike most crochet artists, she doesn’t use yarn but embroidery thread to bring her flowers to life. They usually take shape of broches, so they’re pretty practical in addition to looking pretty, and you can pin them to your clothes, bags, hats, and everything in between.

]]>Heike Kuzminski is an artist and interior designer based in Coquitlam, Canada, who has Bachelor’s Degree in applied design. She usually works with watercolor and ink and enjoys painting florals and animals in their natural habitat, isolating tiny elements and details in an attempt to create simple, yet striking compositions.
Most of Kuzminski’s inspiration came from nature from the first time she started drawing, and she felt even more inspired after taking up walking and hiking as a hobby following a knee injury that forced her to stop running.
“Slowing down, I started to notice the informational signage on the trails. I actually took the time to read about the plants and animals in the area. I was drawn to the different types of birds shown in the pictures and started painting them,” she wrote on her Etsy page.
Kuzminski’s obsession with birds started when she took part in Instagram’s 100-day challenge and received countless requests to paint different birds from all around the world. This project inspired her to explore their incredible diversity, and she’s been doing it ever since.

]]>Life took De Kwiatkowski everywhere from New York to Paris over the years, but the private community of Lyford Cay in the Bahamas always felt like her real home. She feels very privileged to now live in a place where she used to spend her childhood holidays.
“I don’t remember growing up in New York City, but I remember growing up here. It had an enormous impact on my upbringing, my inspiration, my primal existence. We were feral – we basically lived in the water and trees,” she told Architectural Digest.
De Kwiatkowski was passionate about art from a young age, and she pursued it professionally after studying Fine Arts and Interior Design at the Parsons School of Design. She made a name for herself with paintings of large florals but started exploring other creative venues as time went by.
Nature has always been a focal point in De Kwiatkowski’s work, and she’s now celebrating its immense beauty by collecting seashells from the Bahamas beaches and transforming them into intricate artworks that look straight out of a fairy tale.
