I realised last night that I'd forgotten to include
Cecilia's beautiful thaumatrope in my previous post.
Cecilia designed this craft sheet for the new-to-me Argentinian magazine
Chikismiqui (issue # 4) to which I will be subscribing.
The magazine features the work of talented female artists, illustrators and photographers from around the world. It comes out every two months and
three-issue international subscriptions are available. Back issues are also online for you to browse for free.
All four issues that I've seen have a wonderful craft activity for children such as Cecilia's thaumatrope (#4) and these paper dolls by
Simone Mendes
I think my favourite has to be this little paper carousel by
Maria Cecilia Martinez ( Por Yoliwood) in issue 1. Completely irresistible, I could frame it just like that!
So, my first post of the day. After
Morning Coffee and Ursonate and
Apple Juice and Yabloki, this one just has to be Chicory and Chikismiqui!
Rosie Flo fans will be pleased to know that Roz Streeten has added some new posters and a fun sticker book to her already impressive collection. Rosie Flo and Johnny Joe now have their own fold-out house poster and a fun Christmas colouring poster. I really like the look of the Christmassy one, a perfect activity for kids during the school holiday and a great present for the big day!
Available from Rosie Flo stockists (LFG in France) and Amazon.
This beautiful Shaker 'gift drawing' entitled "Wreath brought by Mother's little dove "by Polly Collins (1801-1884) is available in small poster format ( 12" x 13") from the Hancock Shaker Village site for the price of $10.
