(Echo 10, Mahlimae, from my personal collection)
Nicole of Mahlimae produces beautiful echo hatchlings. Her "work is pulled together by a common theme of possibility, a longing for connection and a intentionally simplistic form which aims to intrigue. [She finds herself] hopelessly drawn to the mystery of ancient Folklore, to the beauty in the darkness at the heart of a forest, to the energy which radiates from worn, tattered fabrics...[and she believes] there is much to be said for the subtleties in expression and much to be learned by allowing yourself to step outside the reality of the everyday." - For more about her and her work please visit her website here - Mahlimae.com.

How precious is this little piece? I initially stumbled upon Nicole's work via instagram and instantly fell in love with the sweet and simple expressions in her work. Nicole produces a small number of her echoes each year, so I was very fortunate (and woke up at 4 in the morning) to get one. I love her work because each piece seems to carry a world of secrets that they want share with you. She is definitely one of my most prized possessions :]

DeleteYou have to coolest collection. For awhile I had a subscription to Juxtapoz - they had a page or 2 showcasing toys. It was always impressive how diverse and colorful they were.

I could get lost in those beautiful eyes forever. Such a lovely toy.
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful. It makes me want to write an entire story about her. She looks like she's very curious about the whole world. How do you come across these amazing things?
