Through some of my stumblings on the web I found artist Dawn Tan and immediately fell in love with her work… Only to discover that I had already seen so much of her work in Frankie Magazine.
Check out her blog Handmade Love and whilst there be sure to check out her online store.
I just adore her illustrations…
I am finding myself in love with dainty ceramic bowls and dishes. They seem to make a cute little statement wherever they sit in the house. One ceramic artist who I stumbled across at Bleeding Heart in Brisbane is Kim Aitken. You can see a small selection of her work on display or you can contact Kim direct to discuss other products in stock as well as offering a custom order service. I’m writing my list now….
One of my colleagues at Shillington College is part of the People Collective – and they have recently launched a project for a beautiful typeface they have developed called Sauerkraut. If you are into typography and want to support independants like these guys then I urge you to jump on board and pledge some money to help fund their typeface production… and the best part is, by pledging some money you willl receive some lovely presents in return. Good luck guys!
I’m surprised we haven’t told you about The Design Kids yet! It’s an online store where Graphic Designers can sell one-off limited edition pieces. Run by the talented Frances Ratford, be sure to keep your eyes out for The Design Kids at a market or website near you!
Loving the Roses for Rose Tee & The Bird Pegs
I’ve just come across these beautiful T’s by one of my ex-students at Shillington College. Her label is Milatree, and I’m in love. The designs are oh so sweet and are 100% organic. Great job Than!
Feeling a little obsessive about cushions and have found this beautiful online store Ferm Living
