My Bearded Pigeon is the grown up brand of crafter Cath Young from children's brand chunky chooky.  Cath lives with her husband, daughter and big old dog on a few acres on the edge of the small green town of Bellingen on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia.  Fun fact:  Her home was featured on the Etsy blog recently, you can have a look here.

Cath makes these exclusive atlas (and photographic) cushions using 100% certified organic cotton.  All pillows are available for selected countries, cities and continents or you can get them all in a giant organic world map cushion cover which is twice the size of a standard bed pillow.  Visit  My Bearded Pigeon online:

Junk Mail Stationery for the Unconsumption Project

Junk Mail Stationery from Yellow Owl Workshop on Vimeo.


This is pretty rad.  Have you heard of Rob Walker's new Unconsumption Project yet?  He asked a select group of artists to create a project re-purposing existing items using his Unconsumption logo - the idea is to essentially create something cool and "new" from something you already own.  Anyway, I came across this fun video from the folks at Yellow Owl Workshop where they created a project to turn junk mail or scrap paper into personal stationery. They also then made a downloadable template for it.  Click here for the details!

Weekend Project: Tin Can Hanging Planters

I came across this crafty little DIY project idea yesterday which combines two of my favourite things, recycling and decoupage.  Wabi-Sabi Wanderings created them which I'm thinking would be fun hanging under a veranda outdoors for the summer.  Click here to see.
