Wire Animal

I am intrigued by this cute wire sculpture card by Miro Shun. She is an artist based in Phoenix, Arizona who works with so little material to create such amazing life like creatures on her cards.

"Everyone always asks how she makes the creatures- a jig? a pattern? secret elves? The truth is, it’s just a single pair of pliers, a spool of wire (one piece per image) and her nimble fingers."

Her work ranges from cakes to bugs, robots to people! Visit her here for more inspiration.

Some very designer owls found at Barneys. There are some blue and pink dresses, a blanket for infants, some very handsome neck ties and a 'Forget.me.not' scarf (of course, I won't, not after paying that much money).

Available at Barneys.

Talented Gals: Angie and Kristin

I have become a big fan of Blondie Designs' cute illustrations and color choices. Both the artists, Angie and Kristin, gradually cultivated their love for beautiful typography, soothing colors and elegant design. Another feather in their hats is that they are the Senior Art Directors for Martha Stewart Living magazine and Martha Stewart Weddings magazine!

The owl bookplate (shown) is from their Owl Collection. There are also note cards, invitations and labels available in the same print.

Visit their blog here for a closer look at their work.

From Russia With Love

These owl nesting dolls are hand crafted and hand painted by artists in Russia. I love the first set. Did you notice the glasses on the big owl, bow around the neck of the smaller one and a globe on the belly of the smallest?

Available at The Russian Store.

I Want This Typhoon

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and have gathered lots of energy to start a brand new week. I have a great pick-me-up to start off our Monday together. Shoes!! Yes, owl shoes (BC Footwear Women's Typhoon) I think these are perfect fall shoes and look very comfortable for evening strolls. What do you say?

I like both the colors but since I am a blacks-blues-browns kind of girl, I am leaning towards the second one. Don't you think that owl is kind of cute? Looks like this one has ponytails.

Available in blue and orange. These are on 30% off sale at Shoes.
