paper dolls

A new addition to the long list of 'things I would like to take home from Australia' :



Aside from this great bag's reminding me of the great cut-out paper dolls I used to love as a child, AND the fact that it comes with a needle and thread, and so is actually designed to be used, this bag has stolen my heart for one further reason: the doll's name is Rosie. I'm a real sucker for anything that shares my name(s) or initials.

Rosie (and her boyfriend Robbie) the lovely cut-out dolls can also be find on teatowels, wrapping paper and gift and greetings cards alongside the rest of Sydney company TMOD's, aptly described, experiential stationery designs. From the cut-out pieces, to the dot-to-dot giftwrap and 'scratchie' cards, TMOD products are designed to be used and played around with. Such great, great, yet beautifully simple ideas, I am in awe.

workshopped

'Workshopped' is an Australian company that 'identifies great Australian design and brings it to local and international attention'. Its online store, exhibitions and new Sydney store in Surry Hills offers a great range of original, aesthetic and useful products. 


Here are a few that caught my attention:
