I love browsing Deviant Art, there are so many talented artists out there. I thought I’d share some of my favourites with you.

Catbird by Andoledius

Catnap by DeathofRats

L’amour toujours l’amour by Mania

EggBot and the cat by Vannara

I thought I’d share the work of another person whose creativity inspires me.

TPF Faerie Wear make the most incredible clothes. I’m constantly in awe of the beautiful corsets and costumes that Helen creates. If I ever find an excuse to buy myself a corset then it will be from her.

Check out her Facebook Page for regular updates of what wonderful things she’s making

This is a wonderful online magazine, very worth checking out!

UK Handmade is a design led online magazine committed to showcasing and promoting the best creative talent the UK has to offer. The term ‘handmade’ is now an indicator of quality, care and professionalism that is second to none and something we at UK Handmade wish to encourage and celebrate.

Artists and designers from across all of the art disciplines have a place here including photography, textiles, jewellery, fashion, art and design. In a time when people are realising the importance of spending quality time with the family, small businesses are being started from the kitchen table and becoming an integral part of our overall lifestyle. We want to bring back the skills of our grandparents, grow vegetables with our children, to make do and mend and return to an ideology that previous generations took for granted.

But we are realists too; in order to live like this in today’s world we need to be financially self-sufficient. An increasing number of online selling venues are allowing makers and designers to sell their goods with very little set up costs and as a result handmade items are not only experiencing a renaissance but a whole new community of small businesses are working together to promote and support the handmade movement.

UK Handmade is at the heart of the movement, providing advice and resources to its members as well as collaborating and connecting with businesses to further the handmade cause for the benefit of all through the online magazine, website and forum.

I browse lots of blogs (*lots and lots) of creative people to keep me inspired, I thought I would start sharing some of my favourites.

Geninne paints and makes the most wonderful things. Her work is mostly birds but I was happily surprised to see a cat appear on her blog last week. Check her out, lovely stuff.
