Pilgrim Hodgson – Interview

We were invited into the kaleidoscopic world of Pilgrim Hodgson of Draw! Pilgrim. Who’s work, to quote Chief Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine, is a tickle of joy on the blue belly of the universe. Her arms are embellished with illustrations from this film, and her work is reminiscent of Heinz Edelman, Peter Max and John Alcorn. We wanted to find out more about the multicoloured marvel from Melbourne, so caught up with her to talk interior design, sausage dogs and psychedelia.     1. What do you want people to feel or think of when they look at your work?   I want people to feel uplifted either at the initial impact of my work or because it stirs a sense of nostalgia in them.   2. The 60s and 70s clearly influence your work. What is it about the past that captures your imagination? I love the sense of exploration of the era. From the visual language of the time it’s so obvious there were huge cultural shifts happening, and although they appropriated some older styles like art nouveau it was made new by bold colours and edgy contexts. I’m also fascinated that counterculture icons like psychedelic mushroom patterns and wild […]

Wonderful Weavings

I have a growing collection of craft books from all eras. If you open any craft book produced in the 1970s there will always be a section on weaving, complete with brightly colored tassels and hippy models. Well, weaving is back! It’s cheap, easy to do, and is great fun. Use up all those little scraps of yarn you have been saving. Mix and match different colors and play around with textures by placing a chunky yarn next to the finest mohair. A group of these woven pieces hung on twigs makes a vibrant and eclectic display. Be warned: once you get started, it can become addictive! You will need Simple loom Yarn (chunky and fine) Scissors Large darning needle Twigs or sticks for hanging A word on looms You can buy a basic loom from a craft supplier. Look out for one that has a thin metal bar down each side that slots into the first and last notches. These bars are a great feature, as they help keep the weaving straight. Alternatively, make a simple loom yourself, using a wooden frame and some small nails. Mark across the top and bottom of the frame at 1⁄2 in. (1 […]

How to Make Vintage Christmas Baubles – Little Teawagon

Don’t worry I haven’t started putting up the Christmas decorations already, it’s just a quick little way to spruce up some old baubles!     You will need Some very plain old bauble shaped decorations. Next you will need some vintage decals – mine came from eBay (very easy to find just type in floral decals and something comes up) . Some lovely ribbon (thinner is better than very thick). A bit of p.v.a glue and some glitter.     1. Clean up the baubles and pop the transfers onto the front using a cloth and very hot water (there are really good instructions on the papers that come with these transfers, but they are really easy… a bit like applying those kids tattoos). Clean up any sticky bits left behind and dab little glue dots here and there then sprinkle a bit of glitter onto the decal for a sparkly finish. A bit of p.v.a glue and some glitter.     2. Remove the original hanging loops and replace with your lovely new ribbon, if you are going for a collective dangly look like mine then use different lengths of ribbon.     And there you go! I’ll be sharing another Christmas tutorial in […]

Bibelot is an inspirational craft, design and lifestyle magazine, which aims to inspire, motivate and uplift. It’s is all about creativity, positivity, kindness and making time for you. (And there’s no reason that can’t be done while celebrating the beautiful things in life and living a more ethical existence too!) The first issue will be all about birds – and we’ve been happy little hummingbirds over the last few months because we’re thoroughly enjoying making it for you. We’ll be sharing reviews, shopping guides, tutorials and much more, all with a feathery theme. We hope you’ll join us as Bibelot hatches and takes flight by following our blog, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. You can also email hello@bibelotmagazine.com with feedback on what you’d like to see in future issues. We can’t wait to hear from you!   “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.” J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan)
