Small Pleasures

The Yolk Folk

Mibo's paper animals are irresistible. Whatever the season, whatever the festivity, their designs are always perfect. The Mibo Wise Guys and Xmas Creatures have some new friends for Easter - The Yolk Folk and The Carrot Crew.

An incredibly cute and affordable craft activity to usher in the Spring!

Revelling in Russia

I am having a wonderful time browsing Russian sites folks!
Smitten, again...

Take a look at this beautiful papercraft work by avokada

All handstitched and handpainted - divine!

Avokada has a beautiful website, which you really must visit (some lovely illustrations there too!)
Send her an email if you're interested in any of her paper creations, and check out her Flickr photostream, for colourful inspiration like this

A gem!

Now, on to Portugal...

Munieca

So nice to rediscover Andrea's (aka Munieca) pretty paintings and papercraft. This Argentinian artist's prints, jewellry, bookmarks, pocket mirrors and stickers are a little girl's dream (I wouldn't mind the top print either!) Thanks for reminding me Karen!

From Flat to Flight

You really must watch this beautiful stop-motion papercraft video posted by Portland's Curiosity Group. Your kids will love it! Once you've finished, print out this PDF so they can recreate the main character at home and make up their own stories. A little gem for a rainy (or snowy!) Winter's day...
