Folksy Find: Murgatroyd and Bean

It may be too late for Christmas but I'll be bookmarking these handembroidered creature head brooches and softies by Murgatroyd and Bean for birthdays, Easter presents and little treats... I don't think I've ever seen a badger brooch before, have you?

Superlilipopette

Well, you know I love masks and Julie Daleyden's (superlilipopette) are no exception. This Lille-based French artist / illustrator has a wonderful eye for colour

and an imagination that knows no bounds, as demonstrated by these amazing textile scarecrows

brooches

and mixed media collages.


Her work is rich, varied and fun, appealing to both the young and young at heart.
I particularly love her mask and scarecrow sketches.

If you'd like to see more of Julie's work, take a trip over to her blog.
You can contact her via email if anything takes your fancy.

Thanks to Lucie Georger for the link.
