Jeffery Fisher: Birds








Jeffrey Fisher is an internationally known illustrator who currently lives in France. He has studied birds for a long time, and in his book 'Birds' you can find how beautifully he captured their colors, textures and their enchanting characters.

The book is a piece of art starting from it's very gorgeous hardcover featuring birds with a floral background. It consists of 46 bird species both rare and recognizable in delightful, hand-painted portraits. Each spread is dedicated to a different bird captured in Fisher's bold and colorful signature styled illustration paired with thoughtful musings on its history and lore. This book will make a great addition to any bird enthusiast's collection. Buy it from here.

DIY: Owl String Holder



Ashley created this do-it-yourself  project inspired by West Elm's string holder that I blogged sometime ago here. I love how this owl string holder can be created at a fraction of the cost, and still is so simple and easy to create in no time at all.

All you need to make this yourself:
- owl figurine (hollow inside)
- drill machine
- paint

So, next time you forget to buy a gift for your crafter friend, you can handmade this at the last minute without spending too much time!
