Link Love Creative - Book By Its Cover

I totally said Yes! when I noticed that blog Book By Its Cover is back. Talented illustrator Julia Rothman's absolutely fab place of adorable books. You can use hours to hang around there. So many talented makers. I remember when I found this blog for the very first time few year ago - I was amazed. Today I also realized that this blog was one of the blogs why I wanted to start my own one. I also realized I have few books in my bookcase that I've found from here and bought like Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age.

So ordinary things photographed and wonderfully combined.

I think Alison Worman was maybe the very first one I found as a maker of sketchbooks...how can you not like her work?

Different makers. So inspiring!

 Where do you get your inspiration?

ps. I made my very first sketchbook in the year 2012. You can find it here. Now I like to start another one. But I have so much going on that it might take a moment before I do.

Link Love Creative - Art

Light is slowly fading and we are totally turning to autumn and winter is just behind a corner. I guess we all use more time inside in our living rooms and we enjoy of the candle light and warmth of woolly socks. 

Less of light is one reason why I decided to make today Link Love Creative post. This time it is about Art - our friend and beloved. Another reason is - you know the days when it's just impossible to make anything artistic, creative or something that you can be proud of? It's better just clean up the house and just be happy about it. 

Today I tried to paint and...yes thank you for asking - cleaning went just fine! Let's find our inspiration back!

These fab links are for your eyes only.
