Natalie Martin

I shall end this week with these beautiful owl illustrations by Australia based graphic designer Natalie Martin. I am absolutely intrigued by the patterns formed with lines and intricacy in her artwork. Each of her prints is signed and numbered. Find her limited edition prints in her online store.

Have a lovely weekend and see you back on Monday.

I know it's a little to late for me to be posting about holiday ornaments but these hand-painted ornaments are so gorgeous that I couldn't resist myself from sharing them with you all. Lisa Congdon designed these 12 beautiful designs for The Land of Nod based on the 12 days of Christmas. Too bad, I couldn't get my hands on them while they were still available but they are still some serious eye candy. You can read Lisa's wonderful interview and find out more about her work here.
