Ceramic Love

I love ceramics: old and new. I hate that they break but I guess that's part of the precious feeling we experience.
This week I have been having a hard time dealing with the final and most intense of a trilogy of breaks.


Dawn Vachon new works are basically my dream of perfect.
Available at SMALLpieces
and CRAFT

These images are of Big Creek Pottery Workshop I found via an ambitious project collapsing. They could very easily be the photos of my parents and friends. My mother lost her wedding ring while throwing a pot and falling in love with the real love of her life.

Shifting Ground - Zoe Scoglio

Honey Kennedy has done it again, another fab giveaway LINK

Oo La La SUMMERLAND is such a super great shop!

I've been inlove with the If I Only Had A Heart Dress forever so that is definately my favourite favourite,

 and the Blame It On My Wild Heart Tote has also been on my wish list.

I'm also curious about Shayne Case's Sacred Space and other essences

and I think the Wilderness and Lichen It tea towel's are super sweet.

So what does your heart desire?

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 1922

These colour plates are from my copy of Hodder & Stoughton's 1922 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The lovely illustrations are by the mysterious Gwynedd M. Hudson (b.1909-1935). The only information I can find on Gwynedd is that she studied at Brighton School of Art. She was a figure painter, illustrator, and poster artist. She exhibited at the Royal Academy of the Arts, London around 1912. She designed posters for the Underground Group (London's underground railway)1926-1929. She is best known for both her editions of J. M Barrie's Peter Pan and Wendy and Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Her depiction of Alice is widely regarded. She illustrated perhaps a half dozen or so other books, mostly for poetry and religious, published for Hodder in delicate Art Nouveau watercolours. Having died so young, unfortunately I imagine her story is lost. I feel so haunted by these sorts of mysteries; it is the perfect day for it lazy, chilly, windy, and rainy.

Inside Ellie Curtis's head

I came across Ellie Curtis last year and totally fell for her imaginary world of odd creatures. I would love to make a few party dresses using her fabrics, which you can buy from her shop.

And this new kitchen line for urban outfitters makes me spit chocolate chips with its cuteness.

Naoshi

I remember coming across Naoshi's work years ago, I think perhaps in 2007 when I spent a lot of my time searching myspace for super rad art.
Her work was like a candy rainbow of delightfulness, so this morning I was super excited to find out via this Etsy post that she has a little shop - You can read more about her in this little interview here which includes a free wallpaper (Yay) and this is her website and her blog.
