Cuddlet: Blackwork Embroidery

This darling embroidered piece is by Nina of Cuddlet (love the shop name) who believes "that beautiful things don't always require complicated/expensive materials and methods" and works with mostly recycled fabric. If you take a closer look, you'll see that it's not your standard cross-stitch embroidery. The piece is done in blackwork embroidery, you can read about it on Wikipedia.

Julian Baker

I recently spotted Julian Baker's Woodland Creatures Package design featured in the CMYK magazine and was very impressed by the simplicity and bright colors use in her work. Julian explaining her packaging design: "I created this series of animal illustrations as a side project, now I have developed a brand for them called 'Woodland Creatures'. I illustrated a set of 5x7 postcards, then designed a logo and a package to carry the cards."

Happy Memorial Day to all of those who are in the US. Have fun in the sunshine today with your loved ones.
