{website} VVank

VVank is a blog about "reverse engineering" and the

liberating experience of viewing or using anything in a manner other than what it was specifically intended for

 

So far my favourites include their confetti scissors, ultra X-band and their graffiti stencil roller

Awesome.

Street.

I get a huge kick out of Banksy type street art and art that makes use of the environment around it. These are found on Street Art Utopia

These images are collated on Find Inspirations.

That ellie-mammoth-monster is my fave. haha

Baby Birds

I read a whole host of different blogs - some are crafty DIYish, some are personal life story-types, some  are wedding related, some are cartoony, some are tutorial-esque, a few are fashion-y and then there are a few of them that are... ahem.. filled with babies. In my "baby-blog-trawling" I came across this adorable video from Bleubird Vintage - 

I know.

You can also follow some local baby-mammas, some local-international baby mammas and some international expecting baby-mammas.

Now, I'm not broody - but I may or may not have downloaded the 50 000 baby names app and started bookmarking my favourites -  Just... you know, for one day in the (far) future.

upon a fold

Upon my internet travels, actually in the search for an origami pattern (i-cant-tell-you/its-a-secret/I'll-have-to-kill-you) I came across this beautiful site that curates all things artistically paper - Upon a Fold. Art + paper  = what's not to love?
Below is a collection of a few random paper artists that have been featured on the blog -

Pinterest: funny things

It's no secret that I'm slightly fully addicted to Pinterest. But apart from pinning gorgeous wedding ideas, amazing interior spaces, crafty DIY projects and stylish fashion, I also keep a pinboard of random funny things that are good for a lol. You may have seen some of these, you may have not... but thought I'd share some with you here anyway:

You can follow me on Pinterest here.

author quote posters

A quick post with some cool poster designs featuring the quotes of famous authors - 

You can see a few others from the Shortlist magazine website.

drinkify

Music and drinking.

Two of my favourite things... and now here's a website that let's you whack in the artist you are listening to and it suggests an appropriate drink. 

Florence and the Machine - suggests a bottle of red table wine, garnished with pineapple.

Jack Johnson - gin, honey and cranberry juice.

Rihanna - Red bull, tabasca, lemon sour, garnish with olive.

Have a go at drinkify.org

You're welcome.

cuteness

I stumbled across this amazing concept from Childs Own - parents send in pictures that have been drawn by their children and the Childs Own company re-creates their pictures into their very own toys - right down to the last detail. What a cute gift!
