Links-R-Us

Heres some interesting artsy craftsy links i've come across on my recent voyage through the blogosphere:

U-handbag: The ultimate handmade bag blog. Lisa Lam, The woman who has set up the blog also has her own shop selling all the fixtures and fittings you need to make your own bags, from everyday totes to fancy clutche's it's there or here to be more precise.

Teakster: A muslim artist, specializing in computer graphics i quite like the style of the stuff. You can see his by clicking on the gallery button. Also of interest is Project Suwar an online magazine created by the artist with the aim of showcasing muslim artwork and literary compilations, you can download that in the download section in the gallery, i would definitely recomend it, the photography in there is amazing.

The Random cat: This (Ymiss and Mishy) is the cute website i was telling you about. I absolutely love the animation the prayer one doubles up as being educational too!. But the illustrations in the portfolio are amazing, the thing i love about them is that it's such a unique style to be seen in islamic art, particularly in the field of childrens literature as the artisit has done so. The artisits also done a parody of a self help book, slightly disturbing but it works.

I love the random cat site, it's mental! I wasn't listening to you properly when you told us about it and so pictured a site full of sickly sweet pictures of kittens and the like.

I'm liking the bag site too; you need to be more efficient in making things and then sell them on, seriously you can do this kind of thing.
