Folksy Finds: Feeling Autumnal

Posted On: Wednesday, October 7, 2015

We’re fully into Autumn now and I’m feeling all autumnal, especially with the leaves turning golden brown, conkers falling onto dewy grass and foggy mornings making that drive to work eerie and mysterious. It’s the perfect time to share some lovely autumn finds from some wonderful and talented British designers over at Folksy. I think they would all look great in your home, or on your person this season…

Ikiiki Skulls

These mesmerising skull designs are by Ali Gulec of Ikiiki Design Studio and they instantly caught my eye when I found them. I particularly like the skulls that seem to either melt into or push through the backgrounds, like the designs above, depending on how you first interpret them, making them appear three dimensional.

I have a soft spot for skulls and with Halloween just around the corner, I thought it would be a perfect time to share them with you. I love how Ali has used various subjects to build up the designs, giving each skull it’s own character and personality.

This pretty illustrated animation by Chinese artist Oamul makes me wish everyday could be filled with flowers. It’s delicately illustrated and makes me feel happy. I hope it makes you feel the same too. I urge you to check out more of Oamul’s work, it’s too lovely to miss!

Happy weekend x
