a quick recap

I have only just rediscover the Tabitha Emma blog & have been reminded of how much I love it! Im not sure how it slipped off the radar...

I am totally into this 'My Twenty Ten' summary. A fun project if you have a few spare moments and family & friends you haven't seen in a while.

I love paintings on wood.

i wish...

beci

As much as I love NZ sometimes I wish I lived somewhere a little more exciting. Somewhere so I can pop into Beci Orpin exhibitions... like this one, 'infinite shape of rainbows' opening tomorrow night...

Instead, I can pop on over to her new online store & have a good peruse & mind spend...

pigeons

I love the way people are becoming more & more creative with rejected, junk shop find ceramics.
These pigeons, made by Australian artist Mel Robson , are cut from old dinner plates. Now, im not usually a fan of the old pigeon (flying rats as I like to call them) but these lovely creations would have a happy home on one of my walls.

p.s - check out her exploding gun!

Ive just seen these in the latest issue of Inside Out & had to show you straight away.

They are by Australian jeweller/designer Dee Lauren.

Love.

running out of time

Im stuck on ideas for our current range. Im having one of those frustrating times where I cant translate the ideas from my head onto paper.
And, Im going away in 4 weeks so need to get my stuff rolling out.
Im feeling inspired by these tea towels by Laughing Bird & Sara Berner Patterns. Im thinking panthers and elephants…
