Marimekko

Who doesn't love the bold and beautiful prints of Marimekko Fabrics? A wonderful way to start a Friday. Here's hoping it will be a lovely sunny day.

Aino-Maija Metsola

Here's some of the vibrant and luscious illustration and watercolor work of Aino-Maija Metsola to brighten up your Friday!

I originally learned of Aino-Maija Metsola's work via Pikaland.

Demi's The Firebird

There are so many things I love, love, love about Demi (Demi Hitz, apparently she doesn't have a wikipedia page? Who knew such things were possible!). There's the outfits, the patterning (look at those flowers and animals below!), the architecture (part of the same world as the wooden churches I mentioned loving in a previous post), and perhaps most of all, the balance between flatness and space, between a landscape with a background and foreground and an image with figures and objects floating in a plane.
