Shaun Tan sculptures

The Lost Thing is such a richly illustrated book, I return to it all the time for inspiration whenever my collage brain rains dry. Of course all of the Shaun Tan Oeuvre is worth owning and coveting. And buying for friends and relatives (not just children).
Shaun has a new one coming out this month (i have mine pre-ordered).
In the interim some of his sculptures illustrate a new illustrate the Grimm Tales. Just beautiful!

a collection of historical stuff from new England worth a squiz.
read about pockets (more like aprons really) or sewing tools (check out the patented bird, which held your fabric on the table while you hemmed it) and as many of their other collections as takes your fancy.
And remember to visit their wallpaper collection!

Uses for washi tape!

I do love my little rolls of patterned adhesive tape.

here's an article on things to do with it. I particularly like the photo of jazzing up your keyboard, although I'm more likely to use it to colour code my cords.
