This week’s giveaway comes from Lee May Foster of Bonbi Forest who is based in Cornwall and makes all sorts of loveliness – such as lovely screen printed t-shirts, jewelry, original artworks and prints. Her work muses on a world of fleeting creatures and unsettling landscapes teamed with a fondness for colour and pattern!
She’s giving away ONE beautiful set consisting three prints from the Butterfly Catchers series. Just tell us what you collect for a hobby in the comments section, and do it by the 14th of April to be in the running!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Anna Bongiovanni.

I collect wood type, and any other old/antique printmaking equipment. 🙂
those prints are wonderful! as a craftista, i tend to collect (hoard?) arts and craft supplies – mostly fabric and paper samples. i just cant stop! 🙂
Oo so pretty! Would love to win :o) I’m a hoarder…so I ‘collect’ a hell lotta things…lets see fabrics, paper, brooches and prints mainly :o)
Beautiful. 🙂 I collect books – I believe in personal libraries. I also collect journals. 🙂
This is going to sound quite silly, but I collect sheep-themed objects. ^^
round stones!
I love hearing what you guys are collecting so far! Keep them coming! 🙂
p/s—I collect books and rubber stamps (my entry doesn’t count though!)
ohhhhhhh!!!! I collect so many different things.
Thimbles based on places I have visited.
Jewellery (well I thought I had large collection, but then I went to me Godmothers house and she has collected jewellery for years dating as far back as the 1920’s, she must have collected around 400 so far).
I also collect children’s books and have a few that are signed. I don’t read anything else other than children’s books, adult books are not my cup of tea. My most prized possession is my first edition ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone’ book.
I collect movie tickets since I was a teen. I already have two albums filled!
Wow, i love these prints. I did a couple of cross-country moves over the past couple years which made me a bit paranoid about accumulating too much stuff. But I guess I collect plants. At first it was leafy green plants mostly, but now I’m getting into cacti. I have ten plants so far, so it’s not much of a collection, but I’m just getting started!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I collect vintage tea cups… I love them! And I collect also teaspoons from every (big) city (yes, the typical teaspoons for tourists with the cities names!).
I’ve been collecting bracelets for a couple of years now and I have around 100. I have beads, plastic, bangles, metal, silver, gold… way too many!
Strangely, for some reason over the past few years, I’ve been collecting the lids from Robinsons Fruit Shoots. I don’t know why and I can’t even remember when I started collecting them but I have loads now – hopefully they will come in handy one day!!!
Hi, I collect vintage magazines from the late 40s, and the 50s, my grandma gave them to me as a gift and I totally love them.

What beautiful work.
I collect vintage fabrics. And old coins.
Lovely work!
I’m a proud stamp collector. I used to collect Archie Comics (foolishly thinking that someday they would be worth something) and now I have over 500 comics stored in my garage.
I love to travel, so I don’t like to acquire too many things. That being said,I do have a solid collection of business cards that I’ve been building for years. Added bonus, they hardly take up space.
I move too much to collect anything. I do tend to hold on to books and clothes for years, though.
I collect tea pots/ pitchers but im really picky, i only have 3 right now. I like them really tall.
I collect fabulous drawing links: http://www.twitter.com/drawdrawdraw and orange things: http://nellyb63.posterous.com/

I collect glass bottles. especially alcoholic bottles. I used to work at a bar and I always got the bartenders to pass me those pretty empty bottles (:
I collect fabric but it’s mainly by accident. I buy vintage fabrics with the intention of making things but then feel bad about using it so they get collected instead!
I collect old arcade coins. 🙂 It started out when I was a kid and never being able to play out all my coins, but grew to an obsession once I hit my teens.
Being the beach bum that I am, I collect a little sand from any beach I visit and store them in bottles. a beach bottle collection. Enough to remind me that its time to go back on holiday 🙂

I’m a real hoarder, and collect mainly 50’s/60’s pottery, matchbox labels, books,
and anything odd and interesting that takes my fancy!
Those are lovely!
I collect records and rare vintage stuff, can´t help it!
Gosh! I collect so many things! I do like my collection of souvenir penils though (if I had to pick one to list here) – I HAVE to buy one whenever I visit a tourist destination, a museum, another country, etc… the only criteria is that the pencil has to be marked with where it is from 🙂
Well at the moment I seem to be collecting craft materials and lampwork glass beads as I have no time to make anything right now…I used to collect duck ornaments when I was younger though!

I accidentally became a collector of bird jewellery, when one day I realised I owned a vast amount. The bird love is now spreading into all things visually beautiful.
I collect lots of things… one of my favorites are mushrooms carved from wood. I love having a little taste of nature on my desk.
These prints are beautiful!
Lord Whitney collects moustaches, top hats, and capes! x
I love how Lord Whitney talks about himself in the third person, haha!
I collect smushed souvenir pennies of places I go. I went to NYC recently and forgot to get one 🙁 but I have a few interesting ones. I even have one with the Lord’s Prayer on it. Bizarre, right?
