Rene Guneriussen // Photographic light

These beautiful photographs make me want to go to Scandinavia and become a nomad (the kind that carries around lampshades!)

Newspaper to Wrapping paper

This is a great thing by Dentsu... can screenprint your old newspapers to make brilliant wrapping! careful to avoid the smudge, but perfecto for veggies and flowers and the like...

Print of the Day > Yee-Haw Industries

shhh, it's actually a postcard... letterpressed and lovely though.

Flywheel design // Infographics

Ooo ahhh.... this lovely looking piece of information design is by Ellie (the fantastic eyes behind mint) for her company, Flywheel Design. I love the heart map especially so!

a Steve Harrington tipi

I love Steven Harrington's work... and tipis... so this was an joyous little find. Just need to track him down and convince him to paint me a tent to go travelling in. Simple!

Print of the Day > Valero Doval

Aerofauna_01 (series of 4)
& also couldn't resist the haunted houses series

Silhouette fun // Color me Katie

Stumbled on a brilliant blog today called Color me Katie. It is full of fresh and colourful photography and can't help but feel happy looking at it all... especially loved this silhouettes idea she did for Time Out New York... much more fun than the usual profile head shot!

Peter Callesen // Paper artist

Dutch paper artist Peter Callesen's work has popped up ('scuse the poor pun) so much, but each time it amazes me no less than the time before... he uses A4 paper because he says it's the most used format for carrying information in our world... and in this form ie. blank and cutout to form 3D images ... it is transformed into an art. Simple idea and materials but beautifully intricate works. (His framed series is really great too!)

Fishs Eddy // Papery ceramics

Back to school season for many (sadly not me anymore)... praps will get some of these ceramic stripey ones instead!?

Print of the Day > Blanca Gomez

I know i've already had a print of the day by Blanca but they're so cute I can't get enough! (& this is a new one)

We are the friction // the book

Saw this good-looking fellow on the grain edit site and was won over by its cover! It's a limited edition book of short fiction with illustrations to boot... the illustrations are great (see the flickr set here) and am sure the words will be equally tasty.

Poketo folio

When I was young, my dad used to get me to highlight the 'important' words in his work papers so I could pretend to be a business woman (The whole time I thought it a very special and highly skilled job... only later realising they were headed for the paper recycling bin instead!)
I am not so keen on the working bit nowadays but I do still love the stationary. This one is particuarly good!

Mysterious letters

There was a post on design sponge yesterday that made my heart glow. A couple has made it their job to send every person in Cushendall, Ireland (467 in total), a personal letter. You can see them all on their blog but here are a few of my favourites.

The little people of London

Next time you're walking in the backstreets of London, watch out where you step because there might just be some little people having a picnic beneath your feet! Brilliant photography from Slinkachu.

He also has a book and a blog with all up and coming exhibitions and lots more photos.

Natsko // illustration

Tokyo raised and London resident, Natsko Seki is a divine illustrator! She creates mixed media cityscapes that are more joyful and full of life than any i've seen before... look (closely) for yourself...

Paper boat float

Would love to stumble on this lake of paper boats!
From an elvin music video by Anna Maria Design

tear fold rip cut crease... a book

ooo... a lovely book feature on Design sponge today... what an amazing book it sounds... must get my mitts on one of those!

Paper nesting

This project by Alex Ostrowski and Hattie Newman is a feat in paper engineering... commissioned by Grafik magazine for the free range exhibition in London, the crafty pair made these beautiful birds from old pages of the magazine awell as houses for them to nest in. I love the toucan!
