Rudolf Koivu rules

Found this old and tattered Grimm's fairy tale book with beautiful illustrations.

The book is illustrated by a Finnish illustrator and painter, Rudolf Koivu (1890 – 1946), 
who is well known for illustrating books of fairy tales for children.


Here's a finnish Snow White and the seven dwarves with their red cabin in the woods. The little lanterns the dwarves are holding are so cute they make me want to draw little lanterns!

Here's the prince waking Sleeping Beauty. Check out that stache! Nice.

Where frozen margaritas come from:

This crows all like 
they see me rollin', they... sleepin'?!

In a faraway magical garden there is a dude in diapers shooting an arrow at an amazing golden bird.
What an asshole!

Those swans are actually princes. True story.

The initials were also very pretty:


It would be so much fun to illustrate a children's book some day!

Meet a designer and an engineer - S. Serpola & W. Raduma @ Weegee


 Salmiak by Simo

 Attempts at taking photos of a machine that magnetically projects your heartbeat in this liquidy stuff. And failing at taking said photos. But this was cool.

Chevron necklace inspiration

I must must MUST make myself some version of this craft by Evie S. I found from design*sponge:

A necklace full of chevrony goodness made with PASTA. Ah-mah-zing. 
I am having trouble stopping myself from staying home to do this right now (instead of getting ready to go to uni to do some work on my thesis...)
