BUSY LITTLE KIDS – THE APP

BUSY LITTLE KIDS – THE APP

This week I stumbled across the Busy Little Kids app. I can’t remember how, but I think it was while I was on Instagram. I love this app! It’s really well designed and very intuitive. There are activities for rainy days and sunny days and within each of these, you can choose to ‘imagine’, ‘create’…

ME&MY IG FAVES #3

August 20, 2015 By Lauren Peters 2 Comments

ME&MY IG FAVES #3

I find inspiration in everything around me. Sometimes it’s a brightly coloured wall on the way to work. Sometimes it’s a bud just starting to form on a blossom tree. And then there’s Instagram. Here are this month’s faves. Some old and some new finds, I love all of these accounts. 1. Barbara Kitallides @barbarakitallides…

ME&MY FAVE BOOKS

I love creative books and over the years have built up an impressive collection. From my first proper art book showcasing Art Deco graphics which I chose for my Year 12 Valedictory gift to books about photography, letterpress printing, typography, interior styling, design, fashion, art  and graffiti – these are a few of my faves. Design Sponge At…

ME&MY IG FAVES (#2)

A lot of my content is based on what inspires me. Sometimes that’s food, sometimes it’s urban art, sometimes it’s Ava – but there’s always one constant and that’s Instagram. For me, it’s all about great images and there’s no shortage of these in this month’s faves. 1. Men of the North @menofthenorth  These guys…

THE ART OF LETTERPRESS

June 16, 2015 By Lauren Peters 2 Comments

THE ART OF LETTERPRESS

  Late last year I started working at The Hungry Workshop, a design and letterpress printing studio in Northcote. I studied graphic design at university and have always loved the craft of letterpress printing, so for me it’s the perfect job. Every day I’m surrounded by inspiring stuff. Graphic patterns, cool greeting cards, custom designed…

A DIFFERENT SCREEN

May 21, 2015 By Lauren Peters Leave a Comment

A DIFFERENT SCREEN

I first learnt how to screen print when I was at university. I was studying graphic design and in first year we did a lot of hands on subjects like life drawing, printmaking and 3D paper sculpture. I really enjoyed the screen printing process and especially getting my hands dirty. The results were often unpredictable…

PAPER CUPCAKE FLOWERS

PAPER CUPCAKE FLOWERS

Sometimes I’m really good at planning our creative activities but some days when I just don’t have the brain capacity, I turn to Pinterest for inspiration. Last weekend I found a more grown up version of making cupcake liner flowers on the Martha Stewart website. It involved using a hot glue gun and wire so…

THE GREAT PAPER STASH

March 19, 2015 By Lauren Peters Leave a Comment

THE GREAT PAPER STASH

I don’t know about other kids, but Ava is so prolific when it comes to creating. In one session she can go through so much paper it’s ridiculous. So, I have learnt not to throw anything away without reviewing its use for craft based activities. Keeping a stockpile of new and used wrapping paper, fashion…
