Decorate with Tapestry
Fabric tapestry would have to be one of the most versatile things to have in your home. Even more so with this bohemian trend, which I’m really loving right now. Urban Outfitters demonstrate here how very easy it is to decorate with tapestry with their “Magical Thinking” collection. The best part is that it’s so inexpensive! Spend about fifty dollars and you’ve got all of these options to style and restyle your home.
Amber Armitage Collection
I always admire people that take the big leap and the step out into the world to pursue their creative endeavours. Amber Armitage is one of them. I’ve met Amber a few times in the industry and beside the fact she’s such an amazing person, I’ve enjoyed watching her put together a very cool collection of her work.
Totokaelo Online Store
Totokaelo is an online store with a flawlessly curated collection of art and object for the home. I seriously had to contain myself with the amount of images to show here today because it’s one of those rare stores where I would happily purchase pretty much anything – if finances (and space) allowed that is.
Maricor Maricar | Wall Hangings & Embroidery
I first discovered MaricorMaricar on a visit home to Sydney last year. At the time the twin sisters, aka Maricor and Maricar Manalo were exhibiting some of their embroidered and geometric patchwork textiles at Koskela entitled, “Maps”. The exhibition was inspired by photos and drawings of their time living in London after winning a grant by the British Council.
Blule | Daily Illustrations
On my speedy trip back to Sydney last week I had coffee with a friend in Bondi and she had her friend, Clementine join us. It turns out that Clementine recently moved to Sydney from Paris and is a super talented illustrator or what she calls herself a doodle designer under her brand, “Blule“. Hearing that, I was pretty curious to see her style.
Interview with Ellie Malin

I first discovered Melbourne print media artist, Ellie Malin’s work through “that” collaboration she did with Gorman early last year. I was awe struck by her ever so cool, bold edgy style and interesting use of woodblock as a medium. Her latest body of work, Moonflower is even more impressive. It has a beautiful harmony of colours, it’s graphic, playing with form that ignites our imaginations, all the while stamped with Ellie’s distinctive style. I’ve been meaning to get in contact with her for some time, so when I received her newsletter with word of her very first solo exhibition at Modern Times in Melbourne at the end of last year, while I couldn’t hop on a plane myself to view it first hand, I took the opportunity to ask her a few questions. I hope that you enjoy her answers, along with a selection of her latest work as much I do.
