#69 Paper Animals

I first saw these paper animals on samantha luck, designed by madeleine rogers they are available from Mibo.
What a brilliant rainy day project!



You receive these animal packs flat printed on 100% recycled card along with full instructions. All you need is a ruler, a pair of scissors & glue.
Each animal takes about 5 - 10 minutes to make & the finished products range in height from 6cm to 15cm.
They are recommended for ages six & up, but I think that realistically it is one of those projects that even though a child younger than that would obviously need a little more help, they would still be captivated by the transformation of these little creatures.
They range in price from only 6 - 8.75 pounds (2.95 postage worldwide).

  
  

These prints would look fabulous in a nursery, children's bedroom or playroom.
They are printed using vegetable based inks onto 100% recycled paper.
A limited edition of 500 each, they are signed by madeleine rogers, numbered & stamped.

 
Now to put in an order for some rain!

#62 Petit Collage Wood Prints

As it might be apparent, I have somewhat of a soft spot for wooden toys... wood in general really.
I love the warmth & textures of natural products used in home ware's, I also much prefer a neutral palette with textural interest & accent colours as opposed to a lot of brights.
No surprise then that I'm very fond of wood prints.
This sample of prints from Petit Collage are a great example both of wood prints & as little glimpse of how effective a pop of colour against a neutral scheme can be.

 
  
 
 

 

They are printed on to sustainably harvested maple veneer & are available in two sizes - either 8"x10" (matted) for $15, or 11"x14" (matted) for $25. They also available mounted in a hardwood maple wood frame for $45 in the smaller size or $65 in the larger.
The frames use acrylic in the place of glass so as to be safer for a child's room.

Those bears are absolutely adorable but I think my top pick of these is the village, on the basis that it will be more suitable for a longer period of time.
