I am in love with these illustrations by Joanna Neborsky, found here. I appreciate the way the message of making little changes to be kinder to the earth is communicated in such a pretty and fun way – it doesn’t always have to go hand in hand with dreadlocks and overgrown armpit hair. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, either…

We know you know. But we’re going to tell you again.”
I think these posters, by Toby Ng, are absolutely brilliant. They’re so simple and effective, I think they would be great to fill the walls of any classroom.

Faux Bois Log, by somethingshidinginhere
Although I’m finding it pretty hard to wrap my head around the idea that January is almost over, the fact is cupid lurks just around the corner, ready to pounce.
While I love a from-the-heart sparkles and doily card, or a sweet pastry surprise in the morning, I’ve never been one to go over the top for this particular holiday. Since it’s also my brother’s birthday, Valentine’s day has never been my focus come February 14th. I’ve always really appreciated my brother for having chosen this particular day to check-in; no reason to sulk alone through a box of chocolates the years I’ve been single on this media hyped Couples Day. There was a birthday to celebrate here!
Having said that, I think these cheeky little handmade trinkets would be just thing to make that special someone blush.
Have a Heart Bust Pendant, by Margeaux Lange (she uses barbie parts!)
I saw the Fantastic Mr. Fox today, and quite thouroughly enjoyed it. I was thrilled by the beautiful tailoring of the little foxy tweed pants and dress shirts. And as per usual was charmed by the subtle hilarity that is Wes Anderson-ness. Reawakened my love for him. I came home and downloaded – er, purchased – the complete discography of his film soundtracks. I am simultaneously enjoying and wierding myself out by listening on repeat to the Darjeeling Limited sountrack.
Although The Life Aquatic will forever hold my absolute highest regards – soundtrack, costume, casting, story telling technique, comedic ingenuity, and all other elements which for me make a movie one’s eyes cannot be peeled away from – the amazing visual effects and joy of watching Roald Dahl’s little tale on the big screen were enjoyed to the maximum.
The film made me think of these fantastic illustrations, which I would love to cover my walls with:
