Retro Stamp Fun

retro postage stamps craft by giddy giddy for bloesem kids

This retro stamps craft by Teri of Giddy Giddy for Bloesem Kids is completely adorable. I wonder if my girls are still young enough to think this would be fun.

I’ve featured several of Teri’s crafts on Charlotte’s Fancy, most of them paper related (including this one, which absolutely knocked my socks off). If you don’t subscribe to her blog, you should. She is wonderful.

African Mammals by Lumadessa

African Elephant by Josh Brill of Lumadessa Zebra portrait by Josh Brill of Lumadessa

Giraffe portrait by Josh Brill of Lumadessa White Rhino portrait by Josh Brill of Lumadessa

Josh Brill has a new series of mammal portraits, to go along with his fabulous birds and extinct animals collections. I love his style (we have a few of his bird prints), and because my girls love all animals, I think this new series – especially that giraffe! – would look awesome in a kid’s bedroom.

You can buy signed prints for $25 each, or $80 for the set in his shop.

I’ve been looking for a handmade art print as a gift – these aren’t exactly what I a looking for, but I marked them as favorites as I searched around for the perfect print for my friend.

Do you have any favorite shops for prints that you want to recommend? I’d love to hear them.
