A Bedroom For Dreamers

I was just having a wee cup of tea there before hitting the hay when I came across this. I thought I better share it now ’cause I’ve a terrible habit of finding then forgetting to post stuff. Isn’t it simply stunning? Can you imagine how beautiful it must look by night? It was painted by artist Lola Duffy for a 12-year-old’s bedroom in an apparently magical, fantasy-filled home. Lucky little lassy. You can read more about the house here. Well anyway folks, it’s about time I scampered off to my own bed- where I’ll be dreaming it was this one! (Or this one. I'm not sure which I love the most.)

Photoshop Fairytales

I would like to introduce you this evening to the digital art of Lisa Falzon. I was sent a link to her Facebook page a couple of days ago and was bowled over by how wonderful her work was. I got even more excited then when I found her lovely blog and other online spaces.  This girl has just got the most beautiful imagination coupled with the talent to convey it to the world. She has so many fantastic pieces, too, I’ve had trouble choosing which to use as samples. I strongly advise a wee wander in her direction!

Ms Falzon also makes great little works of wearable art and accessories:

Slow News Day

While out on my regular job hunting quest this evening I came across this in the funnies section of HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk.  Maybe it’s just the resulting lunacy that comes from filling out one too many application forms but I just can’t stop laughing every time I look at this, a genuine news story from The Harrogate Advertiser. (Notice underneath there's even a helpful little 'banana facts' sub-section.) Ah, the joys of local journalism. Please someone give me a job! I’ll hunt you down square satsumas or polka dot pears or whatever fruity freaks there are to be found!
