Together Gallery...
I came across a couple of these images over on pinterest recently and just had to have a closer look at the website they were from.
Together Gallery's 'Elemental'; a collaborative group project between Aaron Piland, Ayumi Piland, Betsy Walton, Jill Bliss and Yellena James.
I just absolutely love the artworks, sooooo beautiful!
The colours, placements, the whimsical, organic feel, just yum...
They would have made a beautiful display in the gallery I'm sure.
I've always loved the work of Jill Bliss and Yellena James but weren't that familiar with the other artists work, so, after falling totally in love with the artworks from the exhibition, I wanted a closer look at more of their work...
First up...
Next...
I managed to find an image of the exhibition itself from the Jill Bliss website, and yes, how lovely do they look together on display, yumminess indeed!
Definitely worth a little trip over to the Together Gallery website. The artworks are sold out as the show took place back in 2010 but the images can still be seen together on their site.

Happy New Year...
So... 2012 has indeed arrived!
I hope the last couple of weeks of 2011 were spent eating, drinking and generally having fun with family and friends!
I'm feeling really good about this year, there are lots of fab things going on; its my Mom and Dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary (yes 40! woo hoo!) in May, followed very quickly by my Moms 60th birthday and shortly after that, my big 30! (eek!)
So, lots to look forward to and hopefully exciting things coming this way...

So, I've seen in the New Year with a mini post but wont be back again until mid January now as I'm off on a marvellous, magical adventure to the fabulous New York with Paper and Cloth to exhibit at the Printsource show, yay!
See you back here then!

Oliver Jeffers...
I've always looked to childrens illustrations as a source of inspiration right from my days at University many moons ago through to today, and have admired the work of Oliver Jeffers for some time now...
So, I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas present and buy his amazing collection of books, every page is literally filled with yumminess!
My favourites have got to be 'The incredible book eating boy', 'The great paper caper' and 'Stuck'.
(if I had to pick a top three, but all are gorgeous)
Here are just a few examples of his beautiful illustrations...

Things I've loved this week...
These are getting a bit of a regular feature on here...
Its nice though, to just round up some gorgeousness from the week...
Some lovely things this week;
a gorgeous new print from Anna Emillia (1) , Lisa Stickley cushion (2), and something I literally fell totally in love with this week (all over again) Elena Deshmukh cards (3), my oh my, she has some beautiful new editions to her collection including 'Souvenirs' and 'Sailor and Friends' inspired by her very own little terrier.
Keep a look out for them in the shops.
H&M have a lovely collection of home ware now which I recently stumbled across and I absolutely love this cushion (4) ; could be the bird, could be the 'etchy sketchy' technique or the gorgeous scribbly wording, who knows, probably all three, but its lovely isnt it...
Next up, an all time favourite of mine, liberty prints (5). Their new additions to the ever increasing offering of fabric definitely do not dissapoint. This lovely print is one of many new ones you can see over on their website.
Lastly, this lovely october desktop from Tabitha Emma (6).
happy weekend everyone
