I am terribly, terribly late at posting this, but dear Marichelle of Heart Handmade is having a giveaway in conjunction with Dawanda — all you need to do is to visit here, scroll to the bottom and pick your favourite from her curated list, and both the artists with the most votes and YOU might win something!
And the reason why I said I’m terribly late at posting this is because it ends on 10th September — SO SCOOT and VOTE now — hurry!
What’s better than discovering a beautiful set of teaware in a charity shop? Well, the answer has to be Esther Coombs discovering a beautiful set of teaware in a charity shop and turning it into a work of art.
I thought that her Barbican Tea Set was pretty enough on its own, but it’s doubly special now especially when it’s the only one in the whole world.
Those tea cups must be pretty darn proud!
P/S — Good Monday to all of you! Hope you all had a lovely rested weekend; I didn’t rest that much, as most of my time was spent plastering the walls of my soon-to-be new home/studio — I am so proud to say that I have overcome my fear of climbing up ladders! 🙂
I rarely come across illustrations that tug at the heartstrings, but this print by Kristin Oftedal, a freelance illustrator based in Norway, makes me tear up inside. I think it’s because I usually cry watching cartoons as opposed to watching movies with real people, because everyone knows that the actors don’t really die in the movies, but the cartoon characters really die.
Like really.
You can also read up on Kristin via her blog!
{P/S — Kristin said: You’ll be pleased to know that the bird isn’t really dead, though – only Thumbelina doesn’t know that yet. ;)}
