Ulric Collette

As I get older I am noticing how more and more I look like my mum. This isn’t a bad thing. At 60 she looks great for her age and I hope time is as kind to me.

This weekend I discovered the Canadian photographer Ulric Collette that has produced a portrait series that put together the faces of different family members looking at the genetic similarities between them. Collette has produced from weird but fascinating imagery.

A few months ago I posted Back to the Future an amazing series by Irina Werning that uses old photos to recreate them using the same subject. It really is great to see the differences and similarities in the subject.

Tinc

Tinc is a colourful, creative world of extraordinary stationery, gizmos and gadgets. I love it all. I love any ideas to make a desk area more creative and playful and this certainly fulfills that brief.

This quirky stationery comes in five main colour ways Pink, Blue, Green, White & Black and takes things we all need and use but puts a different spin on them. Each colour is given it’s own personality.

All of the vector graphics are so clean, fresh and fun.

Tincville

If you love the product then why not join the online community. Tincville is the weird and wonderful world of the Tonkins, Kronks, Huggas, Mallos and Floots.

Precious Plastic

After seeing a lovely rainbow over Leeds this morning, I thought we all needed some colour on this grey drab day.

Denise Julia Reytan was born in Düsseldorf in 1980 and studied jewellery and product design at the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf 2003–2008.

Reytan says about her own work “My jewellery is a reflection of myself and an 
objective adherence of my ideas, thoughts and feelings 
into material, form and colour.”

PRECIOUS PLASTIC

The pieces are created using a silicone casting method and incorporating collected materials and 
objects which fascinate her, such as 
things from childhood, jewellery from family, from 
different times, countries or finds.

Other Jewellery collections include:
ESSENTIAL MIX

SNAP-SHOTS

WHAT IS JEWELLERY

Denise Julia Reytan caught my eye as a jewellery designer but her work extends to so much more. This shopwindow installation consists of individual, everyday objects.
