M Stetson: Pop-Up Shop

By on December 8, 2011 in happy wrapping

I’m a busy little elf preparing for the big City of Craft show this weekend in Toronto. I’m so excited but nervous too. It’s my first time out on display with my work. I hope to see lots of followers and friendly faces there. But in the meantime…

Just in time for the holidays, M Stetson Design has created beautifully modern and crafty gift wrappings with debossed clay tags. I adore them so much so, I had to share. Take a gander here for their whole gift tag collection available on Etsy. Even more beautiful is the fact that these tags will never be thrown out, and used over and over again for gift giving and passed down through generations. How special!

Here Comes The Waves Film Still

I have been following and admiring Julia Pott’s work for quite some time now, but it’s about time I shared it with all of you. You will quickly notice that Julia is a lover of animals. Kitties, puppies, polar bears and foxes play main characters in her art, and a few of their favourite activities include: prancing about, holding hands, and dancing in forests together. What’s not to love about them? They’re absolutely adorable in the coolest way ever!

Cat and Dog Love and You are the Softest Boy in New York

Her most recent projects include: a series of short ads for the television series Skins from Treat Studios (the creative collective she’s a part of); a signed limited edition 5×7 print in support of Haiti relief; and a multimedia project for the band The Decemberists called Here Come the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles. Julia’s prints/illustrations can also be found on pillows, totes, and aprons. Make sure to check out her personal portfolio site, blog, and photostream to follow up on other current projects.

Here Comes The Waves Film Still

And now I leave you with the very first project I saw of Julia’s: My First Crush, which was her final film at Kingston University. It’s an animated film based on interviews with people about their first crushes. Enjoy!

Katrin Schwulst

By on November 25, 2009 in found + loved

Katrin Schwulst creates simplistic compositions with intricate handdrawn patterns and muted colours, and the outcome is rather charming. I almost feel like I’m back in the 1970s again… oh wait, I was never around for that decade. Nevermind. Her illustrations are still super sweet though.
