Sheffield lass Su Blackwell knows how to create pictures with words. These miniature dioramas are delicately formed from old books carefully sourced from second-hand bookstores. These sculptures are like pop-up picture books for adults. No touching.

Two dogs, a goat and a monkey. You wouldn’t think they would get along, but in the marvellous medium of crayons Team Mitchell & Dent are actually dandelion, green-yellow and blue-grey and that is a damn nice colour palette. US-Vietnamese artist Diem Chau‘s delightful and delicate horoscope carvings are a testament to her steady hands and her blog is a testament to The Pleasure of Tiny Things.

Mallory from Maine knows where the lovely things are. And she pops them all on her blog, called, er… Where the Lovely Things Are. One of her loveliest picks is UK illustrator and set designer Hattie Newman. Hattie was a part of the oh-so-clever collective that made a papery world for YCN. Quick sticks then, two sites-for-sighing-over today and the boss could walk by at any moment.
