She shares: ‘In my spare time I draw and paint creatures that I wish were real… Inspiration comes from 19th century children's book illustration, 1990's Nickelodeon cartoons, Eastern European stop motion animation and all work is fueled by peanut butter.'

Kate Kelly: Paper Sculpture






Kate Kelly designs and make the most amazing paper sculptures of owls, birds, animals and household objects. She began making paper models during her University degree, when she made paper prototypes of her final pieces. She experimented with many different materials and found her love in crafting with paper. "I love to work in paper because I find it a very unrestrictive medium; it bends and folds to any shape, it is easy coloured and textured in many different ways, it is cheap and humble and always on hand."

Her each sculpture is screen printed and often adorned with freehand doodles which makes each one unique. You can see more of her gorgeous models on her website and follow her blog for updates on her new work.

Ellen Giggenbach: Owl and Pussycat






I find Ellen Giggenbach's work exquisite and have blogged about her work previously

I adore her newly designed Owl & the Pussycat craft kit that's easy to cut and assemble. The kit comes with a set of instructions, laser printed cards of Mr. Owl playing his guitar, Miss Pussy Cat holding a jar of delicious honey and a jolly little sail boat with a flag, and the rhyme on the back. The finished couple will look great on a book shelf or in a kid's room! For a limited time you will get a set of 8 stickers as a gift. Available for purchase in her online store.
