I am too excited for words. Today my little blog had a very big day – I was featured on the seriously fabulous Design For Mankind. My goodness, this is huge people. Huge I tell ya! You can read the post right here.

Design For Mankind is an award-winning blog dedicated to showcasing the talents of the emerging art and design community, with some serious “blog cred” {I thought that this occasion called for a new, made up word}. This is the first ever press coverage for yellowtrace, and you’ve all probably worked out that I am beyond excited. But above all, I am so grateful to Erin for her generosity and support. Thank you Erin…

Oh. My. Goodness! I can barely contain my excitement people! Ryan Rusell is in the house!!!

Ryan first came onto my radar back in 2007 when his first solo project, Left, was nominated for an Interior Design Award in the Retail Category, and his practice was awarded Emerging Interior Design Practicethe same year. I distinctly remember opening the magazine and seeing a “hero” image for Left and instantly attempting to look up Ryan’s website hungry to see and know more. But his site at the time didn’t reveal much, other than that it was “coming soon”. I bookmarked it for later, and eagerly awaited it’s launch. There was something about Ryan’s work that instantly drew me in, and I’ve been watching this young man go from strength to strength ever since…

BOLON is a woven vinyl flooring product which has been produced in Sweden for over fifty years. It comes in a range of brilliant colours and textures, it is lovely to walk on, and at the same time it is very hard wearing. Everything else you need to know about it is right here…

Hello… Are you ready for our third photography assignment? This week Husband was learning about The Colour of Light. This assignment builds on last week’s lesson which was all about the introduction to Light. And if you’ve just joined us, first week’s assignment about Composition is right here.

Husband had to pick one {1} or two {2} of the following four {4} choices – Golden Hour, Night Light, Coloured Light and Colour Temperature. He chose to shoot Golden Hour {first and last hour of sunlight in a day} and Night Light. The subject needed to be a series of portraits, or a series of city/ urban landscapes. He also had to experiment with ambient light and a flash at slow shutter speeds…

Pothole Gardens is a series of ongoing public installations by Pete Dungey, highlighting the problem of surface imperfections on Britain’s roads. “If we planted one of those in every hole, it would be like a forest in the road”, says Pete.

Pure magic…
