Craftwerk

As I posted earlier, we were proud to be a part of the infamous Craftwerk indie craft fair, last month in Auckland. Our lovely friend Olivia (who makes the cute owl necklaces you may have seen in store) took care of the stall, which had some of our papercup goodies as well as her cute little owlies. Here's a pic from the crafty ladies at Anemone & some from Liv's personal collection!

Can you dig it?

Two artists I'm really digging at the moment are Maija Loukari & Sanna Annukka.
I find Maija's work overwhelmingly fantastic, everything about it appeals to me! I love her use of colour, the naive nature of the textures & shapes... But mostly I love the lo-fi, almost random nature of her compositions, some seem at first (for lack of a better word) budget. But each line & colour block is perfectly executed & positioned. Her drawings are kind of like Kate Moss, effortlessly stylish. (I don't really think Kate Moss is all that, but I would still like to be so imperfectly cool.)

If you're not already impressed, get this- Maija is a designer for Marimekko, & she's only 25! I'm simultaneously jealous & inspired.

Sanna's work I love for it's clean lines & fantastic colour palettes. I admire it because I know I could never create it! I find colours one of the hardest parts of designing. Oh & she uses birds a lot in her pieces. Did I mention I like birds? I like birds.
What do these artists have in common? They are both Finnish!
I want to go to Finland!

Craftwerk!

Howdy!
The infamous Craftwerk is on tomorrow in Auckland as part of the very exciting Cross st Carnival, they are closing off the street for stalls, bands & general carnival-ish-ness! It should be a fantastic day & I'm pretty disapointed I can't be there, but I'm also super excited that my wonderful friend Olivia (Lily Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts) is running a stall on behalf of both of us. YAY! It's gonna be a fab day, with some great bands playing to- including my cousin in The Vietnam War. Super! So if you're in Auckland you haaaave to go. x
