Wallpaper.... Meinewand and Bloom Papers

Fab site for wallpapers, including Farrow & Ball, Osborne and Little, Cole and Son and lots more... expensive, classy, lots of choice.

When I bought wallpaper for my kitchen, I found it on a German site, but actually bought it from Bloom Papers as even having it sent from Spain was cheaper than the German site!!! Crazy, huh!

Miss Print - wallpaper and fabric samples

Just came across this site in the UK by accident, and probably more my style than yours, but they have reasonable rates for fabric and wallpaper samples (for my sample board), and it's very easy to pay with paypal and have it sent to Germany.

Here's the link to Miss Print - fabrics and wallpapers and I found it on another interesting website (to me, at least) called Trend Bible with a Guest Blogger post by Lorna Syson.

Mr & Mrs Clynk & Atomic Soda

I saw a lovely little tray recently  in Mitte, but it was really overpriced (tiny and nearly 20 Euros)... but I wrote down the name of the designers (Mr & Mrs Clynk) and the website address where there is a catalogue.

It doesn't seem as though they have a distributor in Germany yet (me, maybe!), and don't really think it's necessarily to your taste, J & O, but thought I'd throw it in the mix anyway.  There are some nice patterns and colours in the Mr & Mrs Clynk section, and amongst the 'tweeness' there are some nice pieces.

I don't read French very well (not sure if you do?), but there's also a blog

Scandi style
This blog gives quite a nice overview of Scandinvian ceramics that might interest you. Odette, see bottom for some Japanese websites. There is an interesting crossover between Scandi and Asian style.

I stumbled across the blog when trying to find something else that I'm struggling to describe: a type of retro ceramic vase that is folded in a geometric fashion.

I had thought that the term Origami style might come up trumps but it hasn't really. There was a lovely white one on one of the Scandinavian websites that you sent me. Unfortunately, I don't really know which site any more.

After catching up on our Christmas news, Odette and Haven talked about how we might structure our meetings this year. Bowhaus couldn't join us because she was waiting for the delivery of a beautiful drawing table!! Pictures! Please feel free to add your thoughts and goals :-)

Purpose of our meetings:

• Before every meeting we would like to communicate what we would like to discuss and what we have to contribute. This could be actual work, or any materials related to the course that we'd like to share. 1 week before we meet.

• Feedback, Inspiration, Ideas, Information, Motivation

Haven's goal:

• Haven would like to do at least one sub-section of Project Two each month.

Clare Basler

Just came across this somewhere online and thought I'd add a little post about her and a link.

Clare Basler is a French painter of flowers!!! But they are lovely paintings and she lives in a beautiful apartment, full of the mountains of fresh flowers she buys daily to fill her cheerful and colourful home.
