A portrait of my babes once a week in 2016 (3 years, 3 months)

Christmas craft. Doing arts and raft with you inspires me to be more creative. I love watching how you use colour, or position objects, or draw shapes, completely uninhibited by any social contracts and rules that we somehow learn along the way and forget how to unlearn. Thank-you for teaching me to colour outside the lines, sprinkle too much glitter, and see fantastical stories in the most basic scribbles. 

cool fonts & even better ampersands

Here are some of my fave fonts at the moment, all downloadable for free. 

1. Abraham Lincoln | 2. Satisfy | 3. Alex Brush |  4. Halo Handletter | 5. Black Jack | 6. Lover's quarrel | 7. All new things | 8. Champagne | 9. My Own Topher

can these guys come live with me please?

How great are these prints? My favourite is the lion one and the flamingo one too. Love it.

stationery love

I have a serious crush on Garance Dore, get her to design some stationery and I am basically sent off the edge.

Fall in love with the entire collection here. 

I need this now

I desperately want this print for my kitchen! How fantastic is it?

animal crew

I recently discovered Animal Crew and think they are seriously cool. If I were decorating a man's study or a little boy's room I think these would make the perfect addition. I just love the expressions on their faces'.

You can buy these prints from Society6, I have had fantastic experience with them delivering to South Africa.

office envy

We are huge fans of Airbnb, in fact I am staying in this Airbnb apartment in Paris at the end of the month. So we are not surprised that their offices are so beyond cool... some of the offices are decorated like their most popular apartments across the globe, I mean come on! Have a look:

Mister Finch: textured art

These are the most fascinating pieces of artwork I have ever seen. Before you freak, they are not made from real fur or anything like that but rather scraps of thread, fabric and paper which are stitched together to make the most magical creatures.

Ps. I love the way Mister Finch describes himself, "Finch works alone and makes everything himself by  hand in a studio full of books, glass jars and naughty cats."

animal artwork

I just discovered Amy Dover's animal artworks. There is something about them that I love. My favourite is definitely the bear riding a bicycle. 

the most sparkling prints of all time
