Gorgeous framed butterfly collage by Tozzy Bridger

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Unusual collage

Unusual collage

This unusual butterfly collage is handmade by Hampshire-based artist Tozzy Bridger, who uses strips of torn magazine cuttings to create beautiful collage designs.

The collage is made on recycled card and presented in a simple 17cm by 17cm frame with a caption underneath. You can choose from captions such as, ‘Rare specimen’, ‘Butterfly beautiful’, ‘Buttefly flutterby’ or come up with your own personalised caption.

Each piece is unique, so colours do vary, but the end result looks stunning. Compared to other similar collages, Tozzy’s butterfly collage seems very well priced at only £16.50. It would look lovely on a wall of your home, or be ideal  for a special gift.

The butterfly collage is available to purchase from Tozzy Bridger’s store on Not On The High Street. Other similar collages are available in the form of a dragonfly, moon, star and heart.

Collected memories wall art mirror

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Unusual mirror art

Unusual mirror art

Is it a mirror, or is it wall art? Well, it could serve as both.

This unusual piece, called Collected Memories, is made up of a collection of random, vintage mirrors which have been put together to form a unique piece of wall art. No two mirrors are exactly the same and every piece is unique.

It’s a lovely use of old mirrors, bringing new life into pieces that may well have been long since discarded.

The Collected Memories wall art mirror is sold by Anthropologie, for the rather hefty price of £618.

If you happen to be feeling creative, or have a few old mirrors or picture frames lurking in your loft, then perhaps you could feel inspired to do something similar?

Styled in the form of an antique world map, with its aged look, this piece thankfully won’t set you back an antique price to buy.

It’s a poster and it’s available from Play.com for only £3.99.

You could use it as it is, or pop it in a nice frame. Either way, it’s a bit of a bargain.

Decorative mussel shell heart

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Handmade mussel shell heart

Handmade mussel shell heart

Decorative heart motifs are very in vogue, especially where they’ve been produced using recycled or reclaimed materials (like this driftwood heart, for example).

In this instance, it’s mussel shells that have been utilised in a creative way and don’t they work well! The shells have lovely shades of indigo, blue and white and the way they’ve been put together brings with it a sense of movement and swirls within the heart shape.

Handmade in Devon, the mussel shell heart measures 22cm by 19cm. It can be purchased from Vintage Living for £18.99.

Make your own wall art

Vintage design cake paper

If you fancy some new decorative art on your wall, don’t want to spend a fortune and don’t mind being a bit creative, then there are some great ways of creating inexpensive wall art yourself.

One tried and tested method, and something that doesn’t require a lot of artistic skill, is to purchase some good quality decorative wrapping paper and either use it simply as a poster on a wall, or for a more stylish look, pop it in an inexpensive frame.

If you like all things vintage, and are rather partial to cake, then this vintage cake paper by Cavallini would make a great piece of wall art.

The high quality paper features a range of sumptuous looking cakes, from archive designs, and measures 50cm by 70cm.

If you want something for a nursery or a child’s room, then they also do a lovely retro ABC paper, with colourful letters and representative images next to some of them. It measures the same size as the cake paper.

Why not make this into art for a nursery? Why not make this into art for a nursery?

Both the vintage cake paper and retro ABC paper can be purchased from Berry Red for £2.95 each.

Dramatic baroque headboard wall sticker

Dramatic baroque headboard wall sticker

Wall stickers or decals are being widely used in home decor and interior design and are a great way of producing instant effects on your walls, without loads of hard work. They’re also relatively easy to remove, if you get bored with the sticker and fancy a change of decor.

We’re rather impressed by the intricacy and impact of this baroque headboard wall sticker.

The wall sticker is part of a range sourced from France and would add a dramatic look to a bedroom.

The baroque wall sticker is made to order and available in a wide variety of colours, so you can really tailor it to fit in with your home decor.

It’s available from Rockett St George, along with some other great designs, and costs £140.
