I’m trying to find pretty pictures to make me happy today. This new book (Olle Eksell: Swedish Graphic Designer) of mine seems to be doing the trick. Also a little depressing though since I can’t seem to find two spare minutes for a creative thought.
I pretty much want every book PIE books publishes. I need books about food packaging and front doors and vintage fabrics and design collections with limited colors. !!!
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Very lovely pictures! Thank you for sharing.

I just stumbled across your blog. Are you the artist of this banner? You are officially amazing.

Oh, I like those books a lot! I am crazy for the books of collected advertisements that Taschen put out, like this one:

I looove them. We scanned some of the funnier ads and used iron-on transfers to put them on onesies for my daughter when she was little.
Thanks for the book link – I’m in love with the one about Supermarket packaging now!
