I came across some beautiful music the other day surfing the net 'Like a Song' by Lenka. Turned out the album artwork and website was just as beautiful. The illustrations are by James Gulliver Hancock.
This weekend I came across these beautiful perfumes. Skeem is a US based company who produce perfume and candles with some of the most lovely packaging designs I've seen.
kapitza, a london based design business have produced these great graphics. Love the way they have used photos to fill in their flower illustrations.
Here are a few: Go for a walk, draw or list the things you find on the sidewalk. Make pencil rubbings of six different surfaces. Make a map of everywhere you went in one day.
This morning I've altered a photograph of the Eiffel tower in photoshop. I used so many layers and different effects I can't actually remember what I did with it. But it will make a nice print, and maybe the background for some jewelry or valentines cards.
There was something about the work of aboriginal artist Jeannie Mills Pewrl that reminded me of a Monet when I first saw it. So carrying on from my experiments last month I've combined the two and put a painting of Monet in the background.
We took some photos last weekend for out friends of their children. Despite falling in the pond before we'd even started - a quick wardrobe change - and we got some nice shots.
I've also been busy this week hunting the net for interesting things.... could these be jellyfish? shells? I like the idea for a painting. Love it when a blog post is colour co-ordinated. :)
Love these printed skirts from clothkits. You can buy them ready made or buy a kit to make them yourself.
