I’m loving the work of Ms Bridget Davies who makes these beautiful, personalized textile creations like this silk bon voyage passport holder. All her work are produced by using free-hand machine embroidered and made entirely by hand, using silks, suede and leather, and other natural fabrics. You can see more of her work via her portfolio.

+ If you like Grain Edit, then you’ll love So Much Pileup — lots of inspired vintage illustrations, packaging and graphic design from the 1960s to 1980s.

+ Have a read at Harry Malt’s blog, and a have a laugh! He also covered the walls of the new McCann Ericsson building in UK, so that’s totally rad. And if I’m not mistaken, he’s also the on behind the illustrations for the new Nokia ads.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the launch of Studio Violet helmed by Camilla Engman and Elisabeth Dunker of Fine Little Day, and so happy that to know that they also have a little shop filled with postcards, journals and posters — one which I’m eyeing for my wall!

And did you see the new issue of Lines & Shapes curated by Maria and Lena Corwin? It’s currently in its fifth volume, and this time it features 5 Swedish artists interpreting the theme of LIGHT, or in swedish LJUS — Camilla and Elisabeth ; Sandra Juto , Karin Eriksson, and Albert Sjöstam. I just purchased a copy and can’t wait to get it in the mail!

Psst — there’s one more day to go till we close the giveaway!

Pixellated art makes me laugh, because I did play games such as Police Quest 1 through 6, and I find that the new characters created out of them does make me reminisce. What Craig Robinson of Flip Flop Flyin did was create real tiny images of popular people and put it together in his book called Minipops.

Inspired by these Minipops, Kristin of pigeonderby.blogspot.com created a cross stitch sampler with some of her favorite characters and also made up some of her own! View more of her process and finished peeps right here on her Flickr stream.

You should keep a lookout on Craigs site because he’s still updating it with new Minipops — including Barack Obama and Gnarls Barkley!
