Monday Musings... The Biscuiteers

 

 

I was looking for some recipes online and ended up getting directed to Biscuiteers Biscuit Company. Now delicious biscuits aside I was totally blown away by their amazing shop front- it looks like a drawing that's come to life!

As someone who generally opts to draw with black ink on white paper I totally loved it.

I hear the biscuits are pretty good too...



Paperfolk Loves... Lisa Kokin

Lisa Kokin uses embroidery to evoke emotive responses to found imagery and text. She is one talented lady, creating book art and installations as well as teaching classes. I particularly love her series of black and white photographs with stitching, they remind me visually of the work of Christian Boltanski.

Here are a few of her works but there's lots more to look at on her website.

Daily Drawings

A quick drawing I did before heading to bed. I have some new pens which are supposed to be easy to blend (Ha Ha!) Unfortunately they were not as blendable with water as one may have hoped so the background ended up being a little blotchy rather than having a cloudy look to it. I was imagining the design as a linear embroidery on linen combined with acrylic paint background.
