Launch of STUDIO2103




Design Detective Diary has now launched a sister blog to house a collection of projects for the craft minx. I wanted to have a location that would catelogue a range of inspiring and contemporary creative projects in video and step-by-step format for people who like to create. Whether you have 1 hour, 1 day or 1 weekend I hope that STUDIO2103 will have a project to satisfy your creative hunger.

Print and Make Yourself (plus FREE 2010 calendar)

I’ve always found making paper dolls, origami and other paper crafts very therapeutic. I love the challenge of folding a crisp, straight line or using scissors to cut around a corner without damaging a perfect curve.

It’s for all these reasons that Mibo print-and-make-at-home projects caught my attention. http://www.mibostudio.co.uk/

Based in the UK, Mibo specializes in surface pattern as well as a range of cute as a button DIY paper projects.

“Wise Guys” and the new “Christmas Creations” can be purchase for £1.50 - £3.50. The instructions and templates are sent to your email ready to download and print. The projects are guaranteed to keep you entertained for at least 5 mins! I love the end result -





Mibo has also produced a 2010 calendar with gorgeous illustrations for each month of the year. It can be purchased for only £2.40 http://www.mibostudio.co.uk/#/mibo-deluxe-calendar/4536426928






And because they’re nice guys, Mibo is also offering a FREE 2010 year-at-a-glance that can be downloaded from their website http://www.mibostudio.co.uk/#/2010-calendar-details/4536336646 - Thanks Mibo, you rock!
