Today I am loving Twigseeds:
Twigseeds is the nest and nom de plume of the wonderfully whimsical Australian Illustrator and artist, Kate Knapp.
First hatched in Brisbane in the mid 90s, Twigseeds is famous for its colourful and curious characters, the art prints, cards, stationery and books they inhabit, and the unique perspective
they share.Parades of curious creatures spring from Kate’s desk in the Twigseeds studio. Some are shy and timid, needing a little encouragement and a biscuit or three. While other, more flamboyant types, are thrilled to their twinkling toes with the attention.
With wide eyes and smiling beaks, twitching whiskers and wagging tails, they take their sunny stories to the world.
I recently purchased the affirmation cards from Twigseeds that sit on top of my dressing table. I like changing the cards daily to be greeted with beautiful words and whimsical characters:
I have also started following the artist’s blog – Ruby Red Shoes:
Ruby Red Shoes is a white hare who lives in a prettily painted caravan with her grandmother.
Ruby is gentle and kind, cheery and enchanting. She loves animals and people, trees and nature, flowers and sunshine.
Ruby is particularly partial to strawberry jam and peppermint tea. She is also rather fond of red shoes.
It looks as though Ruby has recently been to Paris too. xx
I can see why you are liking Twigseeds. I just had a look at the blog, lovely illustrations and the Paris photos are cute!
Thanks Tim – I love her illustrations and how funny is little ‘fluffy’ hare in Paris, eating a bagette??
