It’s amazing how marzipan can be put to use! These treats are special edition treats made by the Eugene and Louise Bakery — the sweetest team-up ever between three Belgian friends: Glenn D’Hondt & Sylvia Meert (aka Eugene and Louise) and Tinne Mermans.

They created this fictional bakery for an art show in Antwerp (so sorry guys, this isn’t for sale!). Their goal was to combine Eugene and Louise’s character designs and illustrations with the sweetest food on the planet: marzipan and chocolate.This resulted in a limited edition series of edible designer toys and chocolate dreams.

In other news, quite a few neat things I discovered over the weekend:

1. Melody Seal is having a giveaway from now till the end of April;
2. Flora Douville has a spanking new website;
3. And here’s a good site to bookmark: The Tools Artists Use (via Drawn!)

Cherry Cherry is a little wonderful shop opened by Gemma Correll and Kate ‘I Like Pens’ Seaward. The concessionary store is based in Norwich (within The Perfect Pad) that sells contemporary handmade products from very lovely artists such as Julia Pott, Denise Ann Holmes, Fun is Cool, Stuart Kolacovic and many more!

See their Facebook page for more information and of course, directions on how to get there!

Congratulations ladies!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE original ACEOs (and works), and my favourite are those that are in a series, like what Emma of Benconservato is doing up — hers is a collection of mini monsters drawn using gouache and pencil. My favourite has to be these two little fellas — they look just like my doggies when they’re howling (without the hot pink skin of course!).
