Inspiration

Pretty little festive pics from Camille Soulayrol. I love this first image with the burlap wrapped mirror that's decorated with flowers and birds and sprigs. This is such a great idea because you could change it for every season - or just pin your favourite treasures to it and let it evolve into a fascinating, personalized work of art(come to think of it, I luv that idea - this could be a weekend project for me.)

This olive sprig heart is fabulous too, isn't it. I'm going to try this.

Little Flower

How sweet are these? From Little Flower Designs. I am completely smitten by the fresh, simple, hand painted designs - so much energy - just great! I hope you love them as much as I do.

Phound

I have to post these beautiful objects because they were deigned by artist Phiona Richards. (Have you any idea how hard it was for me to write that name without an 'F'?) I find this kind of book art really intriguing don't you? I can totally see the appeal of working with book pages.
