say yes to cuteness. the warmer weather will be coming and as a reminder if i had my way, i would line a whole hallway with these fun summer dress acrylic and embroidery paintings from finland born, istanbul-based artist heli sengezer. i love her choice of colors and patterns and the carefree breezy feeling i get when i look at them.

of course i am assuming you have seen her other funny handicrafts like this jewelry and mini wall art, right? i have seen them around, but i had not seen her paintings.

you can go say hello to heli on her blog. purchase the accessories at her etsy shop, view more work on her flickr stream and purchase these works at her dawanda shop.

finnish designer heli hietala has created an extraordinary set of crayons to enhance our coloring pleasure. heli says the colours can be used for drawing, and each piece (which is in the shape of a small human) can be used as a tool for a variety of communication styles we find in out daily lives — soft, stimulating, balanced or dirty. it all depends of the character you choose. there are about 100 crayons and they come in boxes of ten pieces each (ten different color collections to choose from).
