Today I found...

a very talented illustrator:

Her name is Sally Elford and she also has a good blog to peruse... Again her style is reminiscent of Charley Harper...

I Heart Sanna Annukka tins

Hooray! Thanks to H Is For Home's blog, I have discovered that Sanna Annuka has designed some more beautiful tins for Marks and Spencers. Last year's tin was lovely but I only found out about it after they were long sold out. H Is For Home say they have now exchanged hands on Ebay for £15-£20 - EMPTY! So I am determined this year to get my hands on one as I love her work. All pics from her website.

Her birds are very similar to the Hornsea birds I think and her style is reminiscent of Charley Harper.

Charley Harper

Whilst on a day out to Chichester with my friend (we were ladies who lunch for the day!) we stumbled across the work of Charley Harper in a bookshop - I bought a beautiful new address book full of his artwork. I realised I had seen his work before - I had torn a page out of Elle Decoration of a house owned by a collector of his work, they had grouped together lots of the bird artworks in frames on a wall - it looked great.

Here are some of my favourites (although there are too many to choose from!) All taken from the Charley Harper art studio website.
