Joy Elizabeth: Ceramics

A ceramist Joy Elizabeth was trained in Illustration at Ravensbourne Art College in Chislehurst, Kent, UK and now teaches art in a school in Florida. She loves to draw and paint, but her true passion has always been working with clay. She thinks "of the surface of clay as a canvas on which to paint". Her whimsical ceramics plates, bowls and cake stands are both functional and beautiful enough to display when not in use. Visit her store for owl ceramics pieces that feature hand drawn and painted illustrations in delicious candy colors.

If you wish to see her wonderful pieces in person, she will be at Norcross Arts Festival in Norcross near Atlanta, Georgia on October 1 & 2.

Irina Troitskaya: Matreshkas

Adorable sets of Matreshkas by Irina Troitskaya, an illustrator born and grew up in Izhevsk, Russia. She painted series of Russian dolls, each on a specific theme including white animals like owl, bear, snow leopard, goat, ermine, hare and ptarmigan. I love her sketches too.

"Her delicate, surreal and poetic works record those fragile moments of life which hard to capture, because they vanish from our sight in a blink."

The Black Rabbit

The Black Rabbit is a company based in England that offers unique home products and adorable range of stationery. The products are designed and made to order by Lindsay Marsden who started the company in 2006. Their cute animal inspired mugs are available in eight simple yet eye catching designs. But, I am especially loving their badge cards collection in which each card has a pin as a part of the design.
