Etsy Shop Feature: Minne Bites

Looking for unique, adorable and beautifully made pencil cases/ipod covers/zipper pouches? Then take a look at Minne Bites - home to the one and only Shark Bite pencil case.

The first thing that popped out at me when I saw this shop was the shark pencil cases, they come in a variety of colours and in funky materials. When I was in school I would've been in pencil case heaven if I had one of these. Hell, i'd be in pencil case heaven if I had one now.

Minne Bites was founded by Mary Pow, a designer with a masters in Architecture. Mary has three children, which no doubt inspired her functional yet fun pencil cases and zipper pouches.

 What's your favourite Minne Bites creation? I have a big soft spot for the fox.

Wednesday Art feature: Nekranea

I'm going to try and post a new art or craft feature each Wednesday from now on.
I thought i'd start off with a completely inspiring and talented artist named Nekranea.
I first stumbled upon her DeviantArt account a few months ago and immediately fell in love with the creatures she makes.

Nekranea is a spanish artist, she specialises in one of a kind art dolls made from polymer clay (painted with acrylics) and needle felting. She displays her work beautifully in woodland scenes, making them look like real creatures.

Nekranea is not just a talented doll maker, she is also a great illustrator and has a shop where you can purchase prints, clothing, decorations and lots of other things featuring her artwork.

 

If you want to see more work by Nekranea check out her personal website, shop, Deviant Art and blog.
