Another rainy day!

Yes it rained the entire weekend - well it meant lots of time inside so I made some cards...

Simply paper

Richard Sweeney creates sculptures from paper - isn't this fantastic?

My first little chair

The chair theme continues.
I have finally completed my first chair and I am rather proud of how he turned out. Let me know what you think...

Chair, stool, and bench

These playful wooden benches created by Yvonne Fehling and Jennie Peiz are just amazing!

Fit for a king (or queen)

These fab chairs by Jasper Van Grote are reconditioned and then coated in a soft skin rubber so they can be used indoor or out. Go visit them @ www.designonfront.com

Stylish and sustainable?

These amazing necklaces are made from sustainable seeds obtained from a palm tree called Hyphaene Phytelephas found in the Amazonian rain forest.

The use of vegetable ivory boosts local economies and prevents elephants from being killed for their tusks. Can jewellery designer Lenny Trines and partner Juan Munoz banish demand for real ivory - visit them at LeJu .

More eggs please!

Have you had one too many of the chocolate variety. These eggs handcrafted in ceramic by Jim Schatz will last well past easter.

Need to say thank you?

Looks like letter writing is back in fashion - check out these cool floral cards by Amy Butler.

Oil on canvas?

Fancy an oil painting of a classic poster - Diane does just that with some amazing results...contact her to commission one at dianeszent@yahoo.co.uk

Only a few days to go....

Need some inspiration for easter goodies. Have a look at these - can you resist?

Naturally beautiful

These ostrich eggshell bangles are hand crafted in the arid Karoo region of South Africa by artist Gideon Engelbrect. Pieces of shattered shell are painstakingly selected to create unique designs. Visit them @ www.avoova.net

Something old something new....

It's still raining!... need some cheering up?
