Miniature delights by Petit Plat

Some people are good at things I want to be good at, and other people are good at things I didn't even know existed. Take Stephanie of Petit Plat for example; she has a background in architecture but then one day got bored (her words, not mine) and decided to try making something special out of clay. Yes, these mouthwatering baked goods are actually made out of clay!
But wait, it gets better. Not only are they made out of clay, they are actually miniature versions of their life-sized counterparts. As in a ratio of 1:12, as in really really small.

That is mind blowing enough for this Tuesday, I am sure that you will need to lay down after this. If you are looking to see more of Stephanie's amazing work, including tutorials, please head on over to her blog here, or her Etsy site here where you can purchase some super cute ice cream cone earrings!

Nuria Mora

I was over on Mint the other day, Ellie is one of my favorite blogstresses (is that even a word?) and she featured the work of Nuria Mora. Graffiti for me is one of those things that was cool in high school and now it is just well.... played out. Yup, i said it. Nuria's work however is of a different breed, and I love the subtle femininity in her color choices and patterns.

Littlephant By Camilla Lundsten

I love the cut paper look of this work by Camilla Lundsten out of Stockholm. After working for many different clients, including Ikea and BRIO toys, she now runs Littlephant where she designs posters,  books and other items featuring these fun characters.








Even though I am somewhere close to 30 years old, I always find myself drawn to work that is probably intended for children, it is so colorful and fun I cant help but smile!

Kindra Murphy

Kindra Murphy, an assistant professor over at MCAD, recently shared some of her work from their faculty show last year and I thought it was so beautiful I had to pass it on. 
She created a paper quilt using the insides of envelopes, how beautiful are these colors? I love the pop of lime green, and the tension with the red.

Fruits and vegetable paper collages, the peas (or beans) in the top right are my favorite.

Some more really interesting work using cut paper. Gorgeous negative space... something I really need to employ more of!

Check out Kindra's blog, Kindra is Here for more of her work and inspiration.

Super Fun Lighting- The Owls Are Hunting


Owls Are Hunting is featured right now on Madeit, the Australian equivalent of Etsy and I thought this shop was right up my alley. Started by Jo, who used to work in a bespoke furniture design company in England, Owls Are Hunting is lamp shop filled with a really fun mix of modern and vintage.

Here is a sneak peak into her work space, and a few photos of her gorgeous lamps. I think these would be really cute additions to a little girls room, don't you agree? I really adore her photography as well, The scenes she creates are fabulous.

Friday Photo-Matt W. Moore


I love this photo, and the entire exhibit in general (you can see more photos on Hypebeast). MWM created the whole thing on the fly, and used spray paint!?!  That is what I call serious can control. Have a great weekend, and enjoy the ones you love.
