For weeks I've been watching with anticipation and delight as Swedish illustrator Camilla Engman has revealed sneak peaks of her recent work collaborating with ceramic designer Karin Eriksson.
Here's...
how...
it...
unfolded...
Now their beautiful work will be in a show, Camilla Engman and Karin Eriksson presents: Mr Black & Mme Ochre.... disappointingly far away in Sweden.
Their collaboration is such a perfect combination of these artists' talents. It's probably a good thing Sweden is so far away otherwise I'd have to buy a whole lot of pottery.
See more photos in Karin and Camilla's flickr sets.
Another thing that's very cool about this collab is that Camilla and Karin met through their blogs. Speaking of which, both Camilla's and Karin's blogs are both well worth a read.

charmingly crafty videos by bands with nautical names
Apparently a popular combo...
1. Captain's "Keep an Open Mind" video features some happy pastel post-it note explosions and cardboard diorama layers.
2. Yacht's "See a Penny (Pick It Up)" video is all about the rad homemade penny costume (plus a nice tour of Portland).

More for fans of the Air Bear... and this time it's HUGE.
Also, here's an interview with the artist, Joshua Allen Harris, plus ... a giraffe!

online calendar of craft fairs in vancouver and bc

craft show,
vancouver
If you're a crafter - or craft lover - in Vancouver or elsewhere in BC, you're gonna be happy. And oh so organized.
BC Craft Fairs is an online calendar of craft fairs in British Columbia - and, in my opinion, your best bet for knowing what's going on in craft fairs in this fine province. Whether your trying to find out deadlines for juried shows, or just want to go shopping for handmade gifts this weekend, this is your resource.
Many times I've looked for this exact resource, so I'm glad that someone has finally compiled all this info in one place. Amazingly, it's all done by ONE self-described compulsive crafter. Thank you, Tamsin!
Go to the BC Craft Fairs calendar and plan your next craft date.
flickr moves
What the! Flickr now does video.
I found this out today via Ray Fenwick. Which is pretty much the best way to find out about absolutely anything. I wish Ray would deliver all my news.
Here's his video:
In other news (same source), I am also really loving Ray Fenwick's series of friendship bracelet paintings:
Sorry, that one doesn't move. But you probably could make a flip book outta this series of paintings, there are so many: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
