Cute dwellings, and cool fonts to download

The top image made me smile because I used to live in a yurt exactly like it, (image via materialicious). And the white cottage/house collaged together by Kilian Schindler is adorable. I found it on a blog called balkon-garten where you can see images of quirky art, craft and plant life.

Also six posts down is a typeface by Jakob Nylund. Now you can download it for free, along with other really nice fonts (above). All you have to do is send him an image of how you used it! So generous. xxxx

Clever collages

These must be two of the most clever collages I've seen in a long time. Lines on paper was found on Today and Tomorrow by Laser Bread, (lots more cool stuff on the Flickr page). And the collaged Photoshop screen was found via Little Starwonders. I tried to trace back to the original artist but couldn't find it. Would love to know who did it. It's unreal! xxxx

A couple of nice things

Here's a couple of intriguing images I found last week. The first is by set designer Rachel Thomas, found via It's Nice That. The second is called “Leh”, Crude oil, 1 litre, by Gyan Panchal 2003, found via vvork. xxxx

Kitchen with hanging plants and cool shoes

While I'm on the subject of gardens and plants here's a kitchen I love (found via 2 or 3 things). Also some cool shoes that are a collaboration between Vivienne Westwood and Melissa. xxxx

Garden drawing

Here's a picci of a garden I did inbetween jobs the other day. I've been growing these plants in the backyard. xxxx

Maria Sibylla Merian

When I was making the kalidescope-butterfly image I was looking at a book of illustrations by Maria Sibylla Merian, who was a botanical artist working in the 1700's. I've posted the front cover of the book along with another illustration of hers which I found here. xxxx

Yulia Brodskaya

I saw the above Christmas image in the Guardian, which led me to find out who the artist was: Yulia Brodskaya. I found the other great paper illustrations from her website. Lovely and festive for the first post of the year. xxxx
