Bright & Sunny

I hope the sun is shining brightly for you today!

I love these photos from one of my favourite kids' blogs

Have a great day!

My images of the day

because it's so nice to see a touch of colour amongst all the grey...

Parts & Pieces

I have featured Sushipot's beautiful mixed media collages and vintage shop several times on Kickcan & Conkers. Susanna has a wonderful eye for colour and a knack for finding some of the best vintage toys, and capuring them perfectly on camera. 

I love her instant collections, including the set of tin spades above, and her latest colour-themed "parts & pieces" sets are no exception.

As suggested by Susanna, these little groupings of found objects are perfect to display in a shadowbox or use in altered art. I certainly think they'd add an unusual touch of colour to any room, as well as providing me with another beautiful image for my tumblr!

In the Pink

Flowers - Anna Emilia

Print and Embroidery* - Ana Botezatu

 I'm into pink. It's not usually my favourite colour at this time of year but I find it strangely inviting as the days grow shorter and the cold weather sets in. A bit of pink then to pep up your day and keep the winter blues at bay!

"Unstructured and floating, her created world is open to instantaneous suggestion. Anonymous lines and shapes seem to record moments of discovery while traversing space, caught, as if in a dreamy moment".
