Tickle The Imagination magazine issue 20: Cocoon + Bonus Gift

The brand new issue of Tickle The Imagination magazine, issue 20, arrived just in term to coincide with chilly Sydney weather. The Cocoon issue is all about cosying up at home, reflecting, organising, and creating, which is exactly what I feel like doing at the moment. Here are some of my favourite spreads from the new issue - grab a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy:

OMG I was soooo excited to see Little Village in Issue 20! I've been following Jo for years and love her beautiful handmade house pillows. (see Bel from Petite Vintage Interiors style with the Little Village teepee pillow in this post). Jo talks all about her creative business and shares her work space.

Another article that I was excited to read was the DIY tutorial to make leather strap shelves - something I have been meaning to try for ages. Can't wait to try this.

Then a bit of deliciousness with the recipe for this triple chocolate meringue tart!

Then a gorgeous tutorial to make these pretty-as-can-be clay platters by Abigail and Ryan Bell, using Annie Sloan chalk paint. (You could win an Annie Sloan prize pack valued at over $200 on the Tickle The Imagination magazine website!)

This one is very close to my heart. Editor Tanya and designers Tania Goranitis (Interior Philosophy) and Maya Anderson (House Nerd) created design boards showcasing some of their favourite Australian designers and makers. Check out that gorgeous black cockatoo artwork by Cat Lee on Tania Goranitis' board! Love!

Plus, DIY instructions to make a fabric and rope bowl...

sharing a little happiness around...

creating an organised creative space...

creative soul-searching with your eight-year-old self...

...the lowdown on buying handmade, an amazing feature on llamas and their beautiful fibre, and more.
