From Penguin Threads comes a collection of classics, all embroidered to the hilt. The below are covers done by Jillian Tamaki and they are absolutely exquisite. These will be sculptural-embossed and are full wraparound images with french flaps (you can click here to go to Jillian’s site for images that can be enlarged). Black Beauty even won a Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators in 2012!

You can purchase these over at Amazon, and another artist’s work that will soon grace the covers of the collection include Rachell Sumpter.

Pictoplasma – a 4 day festival filled with conferences, workshops, exhibitions, performances and parties opens today till 15th April, so if you’re in Berlin, head on over!

I’ve been using the same pencil case since I was 15 – I kid you not. I pulled it out the other day and my friend from high school squealed and pointed at it excitedly (a little too excitedly, I thought). Turns out everyone remembers me and my big fat pencil case – it was used to house 4 tubes of Smarties chocolates before it was reincarnated as a pencil case by yours truly.

So while I’m still using old faithful, if I were ever looking for a new one (at this point I’m waiting for it to disintegrate into a heap of synthetics), I’ve got my eye on the ones from Pamplemouss. Darn you internetz for all the pencil case candy out there! *shakes fists*

UPDATE: I’ve gotten quite a few requests to unveil my pencil case! So for the curious, here it is!
