Ooakly Wall Art

Jenny Ellmer's is a Geelong based artist who designs these really cute kids wall hangings.

Each Ooakly piece is special, with distinct differences that make it unique and truly one of a kind. Just like our fingerprints, no two are ever the same.

They are hand painted, hand stitched, hand made... with love!

This week I am loving This Little Piggy went to Prada an adorable book of designer nursery rhymes.
The book has tewnty-one revamped, tongue-in-cheek, name-dropping nursery rhymes and is a great gift for yummy mummies.
Who would have thought you could make Nursery Rhymes so fashionable, politically incorrect and frivolous all at the one time?

This Little Piggy went to Prada was born of Amy Poorn's inability to relate to pease pudding and her horror of Disney character sippy cups.
Amy has recently written another This Little Piggy book called This Little Piggy Got Divorced which reflects on her her own experience of divorce.

The illustrations are also beautiful throughout this book and they just enhance the pleasure of reading it. The illustrations are the work of Zebby Eun-kyung Kang a Korean born, UK based artist. Zebby started this project while still studying fashion at the London College of Fashion and illustrated This Little Piggy went to Prada from a tiny room of her halls of residence. Since her Piggy debut, Zebby has worked for clients all over the world, including Vogue, Numero, Boutique1, Jaeger, Matches and Penguin Books.

I can't speak more highly of this cute book and would recommend it to any new mums with a finger on the fashion pulse.

Being a graphic designer in the 21st Century there is not much time or need to pick up the old tools of the trade. But I have found the ultimate inspiration to pick up a simple pencil and draw.

Introducing 500 Colored Pencils: the only set in the world that matches the span and wonder of human creativity. Each pencil has it's own identity and story and together, the colors suggest infinite possibilities and give you no excuses not to be creative at least once a week.

The company behind this concept Socialdesigner believe the greatest beauty of 500 Pencils is that you don't receive all of them at once. Over the course of 20 months you recieve 25 pencils a month and this gives you time to work with color families and fee the precious nature of each pencil.

Its a great gift idea that last 20 months and the pencils become your story and experience. It's about enjoying an unhurried creative process, and the artist - over time - you become.

There are even cool diplay units which you can collect and help you display your 500 beautiful pencils
