Art for Everyday

Art for Everyday, or AfDay is a new Indian website that sells items that encapsulate the art in everyday life. The site was started by a business graduate (Rashmi Daga) who is passionate about art and has combined her both loves (business and art) into one site.

The site sells items that are typical of an Indian market: pottery, ceramics, terracotta, paper and of course, jewelry. Items are colorful, vibrant and encapsulate what Indian art scene is all about: rustic charm with lots of clever juxtaposition of urbane and rural creative concepts.

Some of our favourite items from the site are:

Porcelain doll appliques ($14.42 USD):

Doll Appliques

This gorgeous lamp (called an anthurium – made out of banana fibre paper! – $68 USD)

The Potli Bead necklace (pictured above – aprox $11 USD).

and everything in the home decor and the pottery sections!

Shipping is based on items that you select. They will ship to most places, but email them before you place an order to check.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
