The Ugly Duckling

Good Morning!

I'm in a vintage mood today so I thought we'd celebrate the start of a new week with this Czech children's film poster (1972), on sale here.

Happy Colour My Monday!

Andrea Tachezy Giveaway

We go back a long way,  Bear and I.

I knew it was meant to be as soon as I saw him standing there, peeping out.

He's ever-so shy, but when he smiles - ah! I'm smitten!

He introduced me to his friends, small in number but loyal to the core.

Little blue-eared Piti Piti is his favourite chum, 

Always smiling, singing and ready to give him a hug.

His rosy-cheeked pals Little Bear and Little Bunny

Are also kinda fun.

They like to play, and tend to cling

But stick around when things get tough.

An inseparable gang

Through thick and thin,

Give it a go,

You might even win...

I never tire of dipping into Andrea Tachezy's world. A teacher, an artist, an illustrator, a maker, her talents are many and varied, her work surprising, playful and endearing. If you take the time to explore Andrea's beautiful blog, portfolio and shop, you will see how much she loves animals, textiles, textures and paper. I find this collection particularly moving, along with these two prints.
