I love Sunday nights. It's when I trawl through the net looking for cool and inspiring things. Problem is its taking me longer to get through everything as I find more and more stuff! Like this unbelievably cute cushion from Eggagogo. How sweet is it? Yet another use for that big jar of buttons. Reminds me a little of a cushion I saw the other day over at chocolatecreatives blog. Also very cute, by Su Owen.
I didn't post this the other week when I came across it because the sites links weren't working. But it all seems to be running now. This beautiful work is by US artist Sabrina Ward Harrison. You might have seen some of her books such as 'Messy Thrilling Life, the Art of Figuring out How to Live'. Now she's teamed up with a favourite of mine Papaya to produce some more beautiful work. Cant wait till its available in shops, looks gorgeous.
It was a very productive weekend working on Christmas cards of all things! Bit of a messy process. More new greeting cards coming soon so keep an eye on the shops creative monsoon and my etsy store.
This beautiful artwork was made by cutting a pattern into white textured wallpaper then filling the spaces with colourful handmade paper. A great idea by Box64 Studios. I'm sure this is the textured wallpaper mum used in the bathroom..? Have you got any left mum?
