Paper art by Helen Musselwhite

 I adore these paper art pieces under glass domes by talented artist and illustrator Helen Musselwhite.

Rie Elise Larsen

What a relaxing Easter I had, lot's of sleep and no hurry! I don't normally decorate for Easter at all because to me it makes no sense to decorate only for few days. All I made this past weekend was two paper garlands from Danish Rie Elise Larsen's colorful papers and they can be used all year round. By the way, the homepage of Rie Elise is filled with wonderful things and images. Check it out!

This year's calendar

This is the calendar I want for this year. It's a wall calendar by Papier Tigre consisting of twelve pieces with nice patterns. Each piece has days marked with numbers and space for notes.

Paris, mon amour

One of my New Year's resolutions is to do some travelling. Paris has always been on the top of my list and maybe I'll visit the city again this year. While I wait for nicer weather and springtime in Paris I can visit this paper-Paris from Made by Joel. The template can be downloaded for free in here. And if Paris isn't your thing there are many other printable toys to choose from.

Family on holiday

We are on holiday this week and I must say this holiday is needed. This cardboard family by illustrator Sanna Pelliccioni is my only new Christmas decoration for this year since it's not really meant for Christmas only. It is sold as a card in Papershop and can be cut out so that it stands on a table.

Art of gift wrapping

I absolutely adore these! I found these wrapping papers by Australian born illustrator Megan Herbert when I went to see the exhibition on Icelandic Contemporary Design in Design Forum. Megan currently lives in Iceland and works there in various art  projects.

These wrapping papers are sold at the Icelandic shop-in-shop in Design Forum, so hurry if you want to get one for yourself. They can also be ordered from Megan's website. I bought the top two and they may end up on my wall as art because they are so beautiful. And so are the packages!

Paper art

Paper is one of my favourite materials because there's so much you can do with it. On a sunny Sunday I made a piece of colorful wall art with scissors, colorful papers and glue.
