This is one of my ‘illustration’ assignments. The last one was for Petite Etoile, check out my drawings here. And this one was for the tape of the relaunch of the Swedish design classic the Triplexlamp. I came up with the different types of lamps in 5 different settings; in the kitchen, next to the couch, on a small table, next to the bed and on a desk. And this is the result!

Don’t forget to participate in the ‘Golden Give Away’!! The winner will be anounced this friday!

I am also doing another Give-Away over at Simple Blueprint! You can also join this one!

Last weekend was just amazing! The wedding was picture perfect and will share with you soon.

Yesterday I went to Swanmarket. It was nice not selling myself but being able to walk around and have coffee with friends in the sun. I bought two things that were on my wishlist for a long time now. The perfect calander/planner by graphic designer Marjolein Delhaas. It comes in single large sheets with a clip, I love the simplicity. You can buy it here and see more of Marjoleins’ work here.

And I bought a pretty greyish-blue large cup by Carola Zee (earlier post here) for my morning tea or cappuccino!

I love to do this so when you would like me to make you an invitation, businesscard, website design or whatever you can think of just send me an e-mail and we will work it out! Now I will start working on the website design for a very cool childrens’ clothing shop! Will show you soon.

ps; I think these buttons with the different colored threads will do nicely as a bracelet too. What do you think?

Could not help myself! When I found out about the patters by Leann Shapton I also found this series and could not resist posting these flower paintings and there is more; the sunday walks serie and the monday shower song serie. Just love them all and read a nice interview about her here.

Some time ago Pauline from the fabulous traveling blog Petite Passport asked me to design her businesscard! Her blog is all about the hotspots and places to be all over the world. Most of them she tried & tested herself as part of her freelance journalist assignments for magazines.

The card consists of two cards, first the traditional card with logo and contact info on the other card it says ‘Petite Passport reccomends’, to give personalised traveltips, and on the other side ‘Petite Passport was here’, to let a hotspot know she visited and why she loved it.

Besides writing for magazines, Pauline just published two books; Shortbreaks for two and A moment for yourself!

Through a purchase in my online shop I discovered this fabulous blog by Jantine a Dutch interior designer and stylist: April & May. She did this nice kind of project with Le petit bird told me ‘who are you? this is me,..’  The first one is by Le petit bird told me herself the second one is by April & May. So glad to see one of my bracelets in the photo!

I discoverd Essimar via Loveology and can’t stop surfing her blog. Her work, the colours,…especially for a paper-lover like me it’s addictive! What she makes is pure eye candy; the postcards, the installations, the animals, the paper jewellery.

Esther Ramirez is the artist behind Essimar based in Chicago. She sells her work on Etsy! And I also got inspired by her original gift wrapping ideas.

This made my heart jump a little today! I found these photos by illustrator Anja Mulder via Slowlane Notes. I love her styling and overall atmosphere and of course the collage photos (more here) she makes!

I will definitly keep track on her blog & Flickr!
