Gemma Correll is an illustrator whom I love a lot , her very childlike and simple illustrations along with fabulous puns have me cracked up. I noticed over the last year or so her illustrations on much more functional things, and more stationary's like sellotape. Her keen eye for whit and cute drawings are very popular and they have even been seen on t-shirt bags and other accessories. Whenever I go into paper chase I always hunt for a Gemma Correll card as I simply love the humor that she involves in her illustrations.

The Carousel Show

I came across The carousel Show on Not on The Highstreet and instantly fell in love. The colour scheme and themes they use give off the feeling of one with nature. The toadstools are really surreal and really remind me of being a child with a huge obsession with fairies, I think this is why I connected with  these products so much.

Bonnie and Bell have taken somethings from nature and created very contemporary products that are veru quirky. The pencil sharpener is an amazing idea especially once you have got some pencil sharpens inside the dome that look like leaves that have fallen off Autumn trees.These plates are so glamorous , im not sure if its the fabulous butterflies or the highly glossy bright colours the butterflies contrast against , owning these plates would be amazing , however i would dare eat off them to in case they got ruined!

The bold and intricate wrapping papers made my Eden paper are absolutely delicious I instantly fell in love with all of their collections. They give off a real retro vibe and the use of bold colours and prints is really luring , I really want to buy them all and wrap every single present I ever buy for someone in them, Once the paper has been used for one purpose ( wrapping gifts) it can then be planted into the garden as they have the seeds embedded into the actual paper. You can grow a full garden of beautiful flowers and veg. This idea is fantastic and really creates a more economical way of using wrapping paper and creating something else beautiful.

I chose Memo Illustration to look at because of the simplicity of the designs but the choice of colour scheme and the fact that the designs all look like they have been screen printed. This company really seeks to inform the buyer of the actual surface design and how it has been applied to the object.

I found these beautiful decorations on the Paperchase website and i adore the Totem statue decorations they have a real kitsch vibe and they would look amazing hanging from a heavily decorated tree that looks almost tacky and over the top but fabulous. The wreath is also lovely as it bring a sense of hand craftsmanship and the colour scheme is really complementing on each other. I think the wreath is a lovely idea however I couldn't imagine it being outside on the front door as I may get ruined from the weather.
