stuck on repeat with Elli Popp



 If you're not familiar with the British design house, Elli Popp, and their funky { or 'sassy' as they say } Victorian designs, you should run over there and check out their punk, retro- romantic patterns.  












 They've recently put out a new collection called, “Victoria’s Curiosity Medley”.





The collection includes three new patterns { including the one above } that combine a collage of victorian memorabilia and design with hidden elements.























 



If anything, you'll get sucked into just perusing this creative and unique line. Kind of a Vivienne Westwood for your walls. Go ahead and procrastinate your Tuesday work load here.

coloring on the walls with charlotte mann













Up until about 6 years ago, I was constantly having to reprimand little girls in this house for 'coloring' on everything, including the walls.














I recently noticed, on my bedroom wall, some tiny scribblings - a smiley face and a backwards 'E' -  barely visible to these old eyes. Artifacts from their, now gone, babyhood.











I didn't have the heart to erase them. If I thought that all of this would have led up to what U.K. artist Charlotte Mann creates, I probably would have encouraged it a lot more.....

























Mann, whose mom was probably way cooler than me, creates these illustrations using black pen and ink. for more of her work go here
