EnglishGuys in these last weeks I’m – especially – obsessed by sculptures and heads.
It’s probably for this that the ceramic works by Sarah Saunders immediately caught my heart.
I recently discovered her Facebook page… but I’m already hoping that she will soon make many other!! :)



P.s. I have two new “crafty” books in my hands… would you like the reviews? Should I make them?
Pleeeease, say yes! :D
ItalianoIn queste ultime settimane sono – particolarmente – fissata con le sculture e le teste.
Probabilmente è per questo che i lavori in ceramica di Sarah Saunders hanno subito catturato il mio cuoricetto.
La sua Facebook page l’ho scoperta solo di recente… ma sto già sperando che ne produrrà presto molte altre!! :)



P.s. Ho due nuovi libri “craffettosi” tra le mani… le volete le recensioni? Le preparo?
Ditemi di sì! :D

EnglishThe artist feature of this week is SO inspiring to me – and so hope it is for you too.
Looking at these works has been like an extra injection of enthusiasm to work on new ideas!
I’m happy to introduce you the wonderful ceramic world of Makoto Kagoshima, made of lovely sculptures, tiny creatures and imaginative accessories for the home.


I think it’s always amazing when an artist is able to incorporate a little bit of his culture on his creations and rework it into something totally new, original and creative like this.

EnglishI love discovering artists who are able to use many materials and tecniques to shape their visions. Today I want to share some works by Aitch, from Romania.
[love to see some of the frames of the work in progress on this big canvas!]



Little sculptures, drawings, 3D illustrations, handmade jewelry and accessories are just a small part of the things you can admire visiting her site.
It’s amazing to find on each work a so different approach and feeling from each other.



I strongly suggest to make a virtual tour on Aitch’s website and on her blog.
They’re chock full of things to look at and inspirations from which to be invaded!
ItalianoAdoro trovare artisti che sono capaci di usare molti materiali e tecniche per dare forma alle loro ‘visioni’. Oggi voglio condividere qui su IB alcuni lavori di Aitch, dalla Romania.
[bellissimo vedere alcuni dei frames del work in progress di questa grande tela dipinta!]



Piccole sculture, disegni, illustrazioni tridimensionali, ciondoli e accessori fatti a mano sono solo una piccola parte delle cose che trovate visitando il suo sito.
E’ fantastico trovare in ogni lavoro un approccio e un emozione così diversi l’uno dall’altro.



Suggerisco un tour virtuale sia nel sito di Aitch che nel suo blog.
E’ pieno zeppo di cose da guardare e ispirazioni da cui lasciarsi invadere!

EnglishAs promised here I am with a new feature from the “ handmade land“!
This week it’s about an Italian illustrator who has created these wonderful collection of hand painted objects: brooches, rings, earrings, bags, bookmarks… I loved her style at first sight!


Her name is Enrica Trevisan and now (as all the time I discover a new talented artist) I’m already curious to see her next works!
She recently has also opened a Facebook page you can join to keep in touch with her and to stay up to date on her new creations.

While you’re enjoying these wonders I go to the Lab!
Yep I’m on “Holiday-Mode” but can’t resist to spend some of my spare time making something creative!
Happy rest of the day :)
ItalianoCome promesso eccomi con una ‘feature’ fresca fresca dal “ paese dell’handmade“!
Questa settimana parliamo di un’illustratrice Italiana che ha creato una meravigliosa collezione di oggetti dipinti a mano: spille, anelli, orecchini, borse, segnalibri… Ho amato il suo stile al primo sguardo!
Secondo voi mi sono sbagliata? :)


Si chiama Enrica Trevisan e ora (come tutte le volte in cui scopro un nuovo artista da ammirare) sono già curiosa di vedere i suoi prossimi lavori!
Recentemente ha anche aperto una pagina Facebook così potete tenervi in contatto con lei e restare anche aggiornati sulle creazioni in arrivo.

E ora, mentre vi state godendo queste meraviglie, io volo in Lab!
Si è vero, sono in “modalità vacanza“, ma quando ho del tempo libero non resisto dal non farci un saltino a ‘paciugare’ un pò!
Vi auguro un bellissimo resto di giornata :)

EnglishIn these hot hot summer days (currently listening to the w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l. Mumford and Sons as background music) I love to discover things that have a scent of freshness. Don’t you?
I found it on the lovely drawings and illustrations by Wawa, so summerish and cute!

I enjoyed to browse the Wäwä illustratiön Facebook page too, there are many inspiring drawn stories to see.

I also liked these lovely hand drawn notbooks.
They’re perfect to bring with you in the bag and sketch, sketch, sketch!

What’s bringing a bit of freshness into your summer days? I’m curious!
Share it below in the comments :)
ItalianoIn questi giorni super caldi e afosi (mentre mi ascolto i m.e.r.a.v.i.g.l.i.o.s.i Mumford and Sons in sottofondo) amo scoprire cose che “ profumano di fresco“. Voi no? :)
E l’ho trovato in queste bellissime illustrazioni di Wawa, troppo carine ed estat-ose!

Mi è piaciuto sfogliare la pagina Facebook Wäwä illustratiön, e trovare tutte queste piccole storie illustrate.

Mi piacciono anche i notebooks con la copertina disegnata a mano.
Perfetti da portare in borsa e disegnare ovunque! Sketch, sketch, sketch!

Cos’è che sta portando un pò di freschezza creativa nelle vostre accaldate giornate estive? Son curiosa!
Scrivetelo nei commenti :)
