I have an inkling it's going to be good...

Back after a period of change and renewal, the UK's Inkling prints have returned to their Etsy store with many old favourites and several great new designs on offer. Hand-printed from hand-cut lino they are a serene way to celebrate my own return to the blogging world!

Pieces and bits

Well yes, I'm still working on my own pots and seeking inspiration absolutely everywhere.My talent is not yet worthy of public display so instead i'll share these beautiful pieces I came across at Manos . They are made by the Swedish ceramist Karin Eriksson whose own web site has an exquisite range of porcelain mobiles, pot and bowls that extends the range on offer at Manos. Enjoy!


I absolutely love these mosaic pieces with sections of different floral designs placed alongside one another. Little fragments of delicacy!



Manos also sell cards and printed works with funky and bright designs created by the Norwegian Darling Clementine team. Their goods are also sold via Etsy so easy to get hold of!



Manos also offer various types of textiles including my pick - these wool bags created by the Dutch designer Tineke Beunders. They are made from wool blankets (from the designer's own collection) and each one is totally unique. The interior fabric is totally different to the exterior adding that extra flash of originality!

You can't keep this light under a bushel! - Lampshades by Suzie Brown

I was actually looking at greeting card designs when I came across Suzie Brown and discovered that not only does she print on paper, but she also makes great lampshades sold via the Urbanbird website. Her creations are novel and varied - themes ranging from tadpoles to junked out minis - but all have a fine visual harmony that is elegant and exciting.


Suzie also makes hand dyed screen-printed canvas bags that are equally cool!
