Minouette on designwali

This morning, my prints and minouette etsy shop are featured on a lovely local blog, with a desi flavour, designwali! Sundeep of designwali is keen to display some local talent and is hosting a give-away. Check out this post to learn how you can win one of my 'Fly Agaric' block prints. The contest is open to anyone, worldwide, not just Toronto residents, by the way. :)

There are some great local artists and jewelry makers who you can find in recent posts, and lots of design and decor goodies to be found on designwali. Check it out! Sundeep has an eye, a sense of humour to go with the sense of colour and writes in a conversational tone, which makes her blog lovely to look at and fun to read.

I have been nesting, in the cold. Also, I've been given, or indulged in, or made more artwork. This shows the Superpricess (flying fox) print given (by Joutomaa) to me by Lady Redjeep & consort, the ceramic and felt polar bear dreaming of snow by Nesting Emily, a Deth P. Sun postcard which are new.


This is my Alec Thibodeau 'Competition is Overrated' print:


There is more. This is just a first taste. It is so hard to get any decent photographs when there is so little natural light.

Tanis has posted some photos on her flickr stream showing the nursery nook for her & Joe's soon-to-be offspring. It's really lovely, and I'm not just saying that because it contains two of my prints and a seahorse! In fact, I'm flattered to see my artwork amongst such company as Deth Sun, SparklePower, KG crafts and of course, Tanis herself. But the most important thing is how with a little creative, and some hand-crafted items, one can create a beautiful space on a tiny budget.
