Hosted by Dutch Sparky on her blog here

Here is a preview of our origami inspired holiday set, available from Dec 1- Dec 31. Stay tuned!

Brave 2012

I don't know if I'm super late to knowing about this. I think I might be, but who cares! I'm a pixar child, so I was ecstatic to learn that there's a new movie ready to be released next summer 2012, 'Brave'! The last kid's movie I've seen recently was oddly enough, 'Secret of the Kells'. A really superb movie, adorable and beautifully animated and drawn. I wonder how pixar's 'brave' will own up to being influenced by an Irish/Celtic aesthetic.



If you haven't seen 'Secret of the Kells', I highly recommend it!

I love you so beary much

It's too much to bear! Haha! New prints! Oh yes, I'm so clever with words.

Bonus! This beary special illustration is made into a blank card, blue coordinating envelope is included!

Chinese Inspired Paper Cutting Prints

I've always really loved the art of ornate Chinese paper cutting, or the actual term: "Jianzhi". The shapes are so simple yet the play on positive negative space makes a whole web of intricate designs. So here are my Jianzhi inspired fox prints!

Sitting Fox

Sleeping Fox

Curious Fox

Attentive Fox

Naturally, I picked the coloring to be red. :)

Artist: Cristina from Sombras Blancas Art

Cristina is a talented self-taught artist residing in Spain. Her work is so entrancing! I love the line work she mixes together in her pieces, very weighted and textured, yet simple and clean.

My favorite is the snail! She's mainly a print and paper artist, but she also sells brooches and pins of her work. You can check out her etsy shop here.

The Secret World of Arrietty!

It was announced recently that Studio Ghibli's newest film, "The Secre World of Arriettt" is going to be released here in the states on February 17th 2012, by Walt Disney! How devastating! Waiting until next year is too long!

I didn't want to spoil myself by researching too in-depth into the storyline, all I know is that the main little girl lives under the floorboards of a house...>__>

I.Can't.Wait!

We've been wanting to put these new dolls up for FOR-EVER! And finally on a great sunny day we took pictures to show the world our new line of plush dolls! Introducing the fabulous.....KIDDO DOLLS! Here's Looking at You, Kiddo!
