Mixed Tape

Mixed tapes have popped up in my life twice this past week! On the lovely Rachel's blog, of Red Velvet Art fame, Dylan Todd was guesting for the day and posted on how to make the best mix tape..it's very cute :)

Plus, my fab friends were discussing the lack of mixed tapes these days...I myself am a big lover of a good mixed tape (CD/playlist). Both for other special people and for myself. I quite like designing artwork for the CD's, or sometimes I just write the lyrics of my favourite songs across the CD...it makes me smile :)

So I say bring on the return of the mixed tape! Send the message forth with your favourite tunes :)

On my mixed tape right now would be:

• Show Me What I'm Looking For - Carolina Liar
• Rubber Lover - Marmaduke Duke
• Oh You Pretty Things! - David Bowie
• Tiny Dancer - Elton John
• Louis Louis - Teitur
• Ok It's Alright With Me - Eric Hutchinson
• Stone Cold Sober - Paloma Faith
• Rabbit Heart - Florence and the Machine
• Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer
• Nighttiming - Coconut Records

What would be on yours?

Photo Love

Evening all :)

I've been playing around with photos and choosing some to display in the new pad. I'm particularly obsessesed with Rollip at the moment, you can create some great effects. My favourite one is probably the simplest but still gives it the slightly grainy, faded quality. The one below was taken on my phone camera and uploaded onto the site. I love this picture, I stumbled across this on a jaunt down one of my very favourite roads.*Loves*

A very strange, little painted house in a place I don't visit often enough :)

There's also an option that puts a bluish (technical I know) filter over the photo - can sometimes look great, sometimes scary, but fun to experiment!A kite festival that even had sychronised kites! We were impressed :)

At an unexpected gig where we came across Teitur...he stole our hearts. *Loves*

I've also been trying to turn some of my photos into black and white. I really love this look sometimes and want to try a few printed. Here's some inspiration *Loves* I have found along my research way:

Girl

Bowie

Burberry

Batman

I'm still a little tempted to create my comic book coffee table...such a geek! Right bed is calling, night all!
