Table of Typefaces
I am a little obsessed by Typefaces, and if you loved Helvetica the movie you will understand what I mean when you see this… A wall decal with a Perodic Table of Typefaces, I love the scientific layout of the decal….. available on line from Scribble.
castle & things
One of my most favourite and relaxing places to be, is in bed. Rachel Castle is the talent behind the most amazing bed linen. Her label castle showcases the range of hand screen printed and Australian made bedlinen; including spotty pillow cases in charcoal, yellow & orange with matching sheet sets. Recently she exhibited artworks and embroideries at Orson & Blake’s Surry Hills gallery in Sydney. Love it!!
SPACE TIME continuum
I found these cute wall decals today on a site called POKETO Art for your every day. Poketo (which means pocket in Japanese) was founded by Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung, and promotes the work of international artists by producing them into affordable art for everyone. The designs pictured are from the designer Cody Hudson, check out his work at www.codyhudson.net, and his blog.
Little Tokyo Shops Zine
I just bought this great new zine called Little Tokyo Shops on Etsy by Angela White. Angela is the very talented lady behind the blog Three Buttons, her new side project Little Tokyo Shops features 32 independant shops, and many more Japanese designer wears available in the Tokyo area. The zine also includes detailed maps and photos of where to go. I can’t wait to use this next time I’m in Tokyo !!
