In primary school I always remember having to rule my own margins in my text books before writing. Even with a ruler I still managed to get the lines a little wonky, a little imperfect, just like these tees.

I wouldn’t dare set down my slice of cake on one of these lovely doilies (it wouldn’t last long enough to set down anyway). In limited editions of 25, these hand stitched pieces will sell like little hotcakes.

Mademoiselle Michelle just mentioned the Sylvanians and I’ve had a total flashback to the 80′s. My sister and I had the Thistlethorn Family and the Timbertop Family, along with the house where the lights really worked. Apparently they are collectors items now, if only we had kept them.

I have no idea how John James Audubon managed to get his subject matter to stay still. Maybe his past profession as a taxidermist helped matters along. Prints of his beautiful paintings are available for purchase here.

At school I always remember making chocolate shredded wheat nests for Easter, complete with those little pipe cleaner chickens. This student’s work is a little more polished. Nina Bruun is currently finishing her masters at the Danish School of Design. I bet she will get a gold star for this.

These sweet spotty ceramics are the handy-work of Dutch artist Nina van de Goor. Created from new and vintage finds, each piece is screenprinted and fired at high temperatures – becoming fit for daily use. I’m sure my tea would taste much better in one of these.

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.
