Monika Järg is an exceptional designer. She creates very inspiring pieces of art, amongst which embroidery in wood:
Crazy huh? But would definitely be GREAT to have this in your house, wouldn't it? See more of her work on Tekstiil Ruumis. Found via Design*Sponge.
Just like them... A lot! Visit their website to see more products made from these great fabrics. Spotted @ PoppyTalkHandmade.com.
Found out about Perideau designs through the newsletter I receive from Paper 'n Stitch. There's always a lot of inspirational stuff on their site and this time my eye was caught by these personalized products. The clean, soft style is wonderful and do think a lot of people would like to have this for their kids or even themselves...
Visit the shop at Etsy's or the showcase page on Paper 'n Stitch.
On the 9th of November it will be 20 years ago that the Berlin Wall fell. Of course this is great news and it will be celebrated heavily in Berlin. There will be a big party at the Brandenburger Tor ("Fest der Freiheit").
For this event, famous artists have created huge domino artpieces. One of my favorites called Christina Junghanns, also made one:
He even offers it for sale at his website. It will be displayed on November the 9th, but after that the buyer can pick it up straight away in Berlin. Funny, huh?
You know kids writing something funny on a car that's dirty, right? Came across this exceptional 'art' at Lost at E Minor. Scott Wade takes this kind of decoration a step further. With a dust extration technique he has drawn the Mona Lisa and numourous landscapes... He calls it "Dirty Car Art" himself, take a look on his website for more.
Like this bag, it's just fun - creative thought. By Nosideup.
As you know I also write for Dutchcowgirls.nl, about my area of expertise in kids & online. Here's some stuff I've posted up there lately and links to the articles (in Dutch, sorry!) and also to the sites for your inspiration.
A somewhat older site, but still inspirational is the Dutch site "Het Grote Ontbijtspel". It is a site that teaches kids that breakfast should be part of their daily routines. Developed in 2007, I still find it a good example of how you can bring across a certain message to kids. Visit the website or read the Dutch article here.
Very recent: we (Nickelodeon Netherlands) have launched a new game for the Dutch series Het Huis Anubis, together with the Media Monks. Read the Dutch article here or play the game (which is more fun anyway).
Another recent Nickelodeon launch is the website for our live studio show called SuperNick. The website has been something we've wanted to improve for quite a while, but now we finally had the time and manpower to invest. The new site is a big hit already. Mostly connected to the TV show, it brings kids all kinds of (interactive) content around SuperNick and it's hosts. See the website here or read the article.
Also a Dutch website I wrote an article on is "Spangas De Film" (Spangas the movie). As online is an important part of their communication strategy, they've built a whole new website for kids to get into the world of Spangas. The 'regular' TV show is a big hit in Holland btw. Visit the movie website at Spangasdefilm.nl, the other website at spangas.nl or read the article at Dutchcowgirls.nl.
I seem to be clinging to Dutch websites lately, since another one I wrote about is also one of them: Taptoe - a magazine in Holland that is distributed through schools. It has chosen for a more crossmedia approach lately, so was quite an interesting one to look into. Visit the website via this link.
Some US / international ones from a while ago...

Vivikas sells numurous pieces of small 'toy art'. Like the style and especially the fact they're all made by hand. Take a look at some pics or visit the shop.
Recently the Book Cover Archive has been launched.
"For the purpose of appreciation and categorization" it says...
And book covers it brings us, all sorts and kinds. Take a look:
See everything up on the website, bookcoverarchive.com.
