To have your print delivered in time for Mother’s Day, just order online by 12noon Thursday (North Island) or 12noon Wednesday (South Island).

To make choosing easier, here are our picks for the coolest prints for a design-loving Mum!

Our Inaluxe prints are some of the best-selling on endemicworld, especially these two little lovelies – Hootenanny print and Fairy Wren print. They’re both available in your choice of A4 or A3, framed or unframed.

Give her flowers that won’t ever wilt and die! Also from Inaluxe, the Bloom print and Blossom print are both super colourful and contemporary, but also have a hint of Mid Century vintage style. We like that.

Sweet and a little bit quirky – A5 prints by NZ illustrator Bayley Collins. On the left, her signature Bird in a Bunny Suit print, with the Kiwi Bunny print alongside. They’d make a cute pair, too – only $58 for both.

Home is where the heart is. Show her how much it means to you with the A3 Country Love print (signed and dated by the artist), or the huge A2, limited edition HOME print by Flox.

‘Her love shines over my horizon, she’s a slice of heaven…’ Couldn’t have said it better myself! This print is actually a reproduction of an original, massive chalkboard drawing. In a simple, clean colour palette, On the right is our Ka Pai print – the simple, clean colour palette and cool geometric style makes it one of our most popular prints.

Now’s a good time to get out that favourite blankie or throw (or treat yourself to one). Not only can you snuggle up underneath it while you watch MKR, but draping new graphic patterns and textures over your sofa is a super easy way to inject some new life into your space.

Bring the outside in. Go for an stroll in that Autumn air and on the way, pick a moody little bunch – flowers, branches, autumn leaves… they’ll look great in an old preserving jar or a vintage teapot.

Candles turn a house into a warm, welcoming home. And they make you sort of glad it gets dark so early! (PS: Have a fireplace that doesn’t work? You should totally put candles in it.)

Tell us about yourself first Rachael – what do you do for work, and for fun?
I’m lucky enough that my passion has become my work, my days are filled with blog posts, wedding cakes, baking classes and networking with some of the most wonderfully talented people in the business.

My days off are spent with my husband and puppy, catching up with our amazing friends over a delicious brunch or simply pottering in the garden!

The beautiful Made From Scratch blog, and blogger Rachael McMahon

How did you come to start the Made From Scratch blog and how has it changed since then?
I found out about blogs while we were traveling through America, when we got home I started planning our wedding and baking again after being out of the kitchen for two years.

Ben said that it would be fun for me to blog about our upcoming wedding and share the recipes that I make – by the time I’d finished making dinner one night he had designed and built Made From Scratch for me.

After posting everyday for about a year my gorgeous sister in law rebranded Made From Scratch to what it is today, it’s since grown into a daily lifestyle blog while I do baking classes and wedding cakes on the side – something I could never ever have imagined possible.

Always baking. I want to live at Rachael’s house!

Rachael teaching at one of her very popular home baking classes.

Who inspires you?  
My husband, family and friends – without them none of this would be possible, their support has been beyond amazing. I get inspired by lost of different things, it could be as simple as brunch with a friend, wandering through the hardware shop or admiring other beautiful blogs.

Tell us something we wouldn’t guess about you.
I used to do triathlons and long distant running while at high school – it feels like another life now.

What are some of your favourite blogs that you think we should go and visit?
I’m a huge fan of Adore, The Velvet Doe, What Katie Ate and The Big Day. They’re all so gorgeous and I always find something new and inspiring.

Just some of the recipes and ideas you’ll find on Made From Scratch.

Whats the best thing about being a blogger? What are the challenges?
The connections and friends that you make, they’re incredible. As well as being able to share work that inspires others, I’ll never be able to get used to knowing that so many people enjoy my work, it’s beyond an honour.  Being your own boss is hard at times, as you don’t have anyone to answer to but yourself if something goes wrong.

Like everyone, finding a nice balance between work and life is always tricky – especially when your life is your work. I adore what I do, so the challenges don’t seem too hard to deal with.

YUM!!

Finally, do you have any tips for start-up bloggers to get them over the global average 3 month lifespan?
Stick at it, even if you’re not getting a large readership to start with, someone somewhere will be following your blog and will absolutely adore it. Above all love what you do, if you’re genuine people will admire you for it.

For sweet styling, baking, weddings and more,

Yes, a staircase wall is the perfect possy for a gallery wall of art prints. And we love the idea of making feature of the stairs themselves.

You could use washi tape on every second step, or just on the upper edge of each step. Or apply wallpaper offcuts/samples – all in the same pattern, or different-but-complementary styles. Very cool!

Clutter can be cool! Who says you have to frame all your prints? Not us! Grab all your favourite pieces of printed material (even an old airline ticket counts!) and put them up on one wall.

1. Take one old chair – from a Garage Sale, op shop or a hand-me-down from a family member.
2. Add one favourite print onto the seat.
3. Step back and admire.

A whole array of mismatching frames from the op-shop. Costs very little, but looks awesome.

A few metres of fabric can make a seriously cool feature panel – and when you’re sick of it, just peel it off. How do you get it to stick? Easy – spray on starch, then iron onto the wall! (See tutorial here).

One look at his studio space and you can also see he’s most definitely a type nerd…

Two of the art prints from iThink we have at endemicworld. 

Hi Jaime! Can you tell us a bit about your process… How do you tend to get inspired? What are the steps to creating a finished piece?  
Inspiration for me comes a lot from popular culture. I am a big collector of things; Vinyl, Movies, Fonts, Shoes… You name it! And these things help to inspire me and give me ideas on where my art works go. Of course this lovely country or ours is also an endless inspiration to me. I really do wake up everyday and feel blessed to call Aotearoa my home. And finally my beautiful daughter gives me an abundance of drive to create, make, succeed and basically be a better artist/creator/person.

All this inspiration helps me to channel ideas from the dark recesses of my brain and into my computer. I have had a Mac in my home since I was 7 (and I ain’t that young anymore) and it has become a very comfortable tool for me to use, so my designs/artworks always start in my head, flow through my fingers into my computer and then the fun begins.

iThink’s home studio – stacked with cool vintage signs and design books.

I am a type fanatic, and I feel my work needs humanity and nature in it somehow, and the computer (obviously) lacks that, so I often create a clean typographic composition and then begin the enjoyable process of ageing/distressing/roughing up the composition to try and give it that imperfect feel and help endear the idea to the audience, almost try to include the viewer in some way, because we are all humans and we all have imperfections so hopefully we can relate more to it this way.

Tools of the trade

What’s the favourite piece of work you’ve done?
 I am still working towards my best work. I am just a rookie in the art field. I would say i am a graduate of design but am still learning the art of art making.

So far my favorite works to create have been my hand painted, one-off, text based pieces on ply (image below), because they are fun to work on and say a lot about me and my language but also about our NZ vocabulary and the funny quirks that only us kiwis would understand. I like to call these our coloquialisations. This is an area that I’m really enjoying investigating and am looking to delve further into this idea for future works!

We want a wall like this at home – with one of each of iThink’s typographic works on it!

Besides street art and graphic design, what else do you love to do?
As i mentioned i am a hardy collector!

And music has for a long time been a huge passion of mine. I have been DJing since I was 17 (and again, I ain’t young anymore) and still love playing records and still play out regularly.

A professional DJ for many years, Jaime collects vintage vinyl

And as I now live on Waiheke Island I am well into the outdoor lifestyle that comes with that – Beaches, Fishing, Swimming, Walking… Its a hard life!

What’s coming up for iThink this year?
The next phase for me as an art maker is developing my 3D typographic works. I am looking at incorporating clever tools like computer controlled router and 3D printers to try and push my ideas to that next plateau. Whether it will work or not is another story. But I am going to continue to push myself, try new styles and techniques and see what I can come up with.

As I mentioned, I consider myself a rookie in this and am just enjoying the art of making art!

What would be a dream commission to do?
I would love to create 3D words in a variety of sizes and uses like customised light boxes or large scale building signage.
That would be pretty cool!

Yip, we love Type too.

Tell us about a person who inspires you…
I have already told you about my daughter who continually inspires me to push myself. I am also a big fan of anybody out there doing their own thing! Swimming against the rest as it were.

Internationally, I love the work of Mitchy Bwoy and Steven Bonner, type sites Hype for Type, You Work for Them & My Fonts, and type designers Alex Sheldon & Schizotype.

Locally, I admire the work and work ethic of Askew and Component.

There are so many inspirations in life and i could be here all day listing them. Anyone who resists the mainstream and does their own thing in life is an inspiration to me!

We couldn’t agree more, Jaime.

Tell us about yourself first Vic – what do you do for work and for fun?
I’m one of those really lucky people whose work is fun! I’m pretty passionate about all things interior design. I have an interior based blog called Cush & Nooks where I write about and feature all those things that I’m inspired by daily. I have an online homewares store by the same name, where my products reflect what I’m loving at the time. And I write for several magazines, including Homestyle and Napier Life.

As if that doesn’t keep me busy enough, I have just started an interior design business Bibby + Brady. My partner, Dael, & I work with clients, both residential and commercial, to design spaces that they love, and are a reflection of them. We are successfully working with clients all around New Zealand with the help of technology – email, phone and skype. Our aim is to be accessible and approachable to everyone, and for our clients to know upfront what costs they’ll be facing. To do this we have broken our design process into simple-to-follow steps. You can hire us for just step 1, or all 3 – whatever suits you.

Outside of work I love hanging with my husband and three beautiful girls. I also love all the standard stuff – eating out with friends, reading, movies, running with my dog, and, of course, shopping.

Vic (left) and her business partner Dael

How did you come to start the Cush & Nooks blog and how has it changed since then?
I started my Cush & Nooks blog when I was still working as a graphic designer. Things just weren’t clicking for me at work anymore, and the blog was a creative outlet for what I had become most passionate about – interior design. Initially it was simply somewhere for me to store all the things that inspired me. Essentially, it still is, but it’s also a tool to promote people, products and businesses that I believe in. And the blog will be ever-evolving and changing as my tastes change, in much the same way as the interior of your home changes over the years.

Working from home – bliss!

Who inspires you?  
To be able to get up every day and do something that you love is amazing. I’m inspired by people who have found a way to do that. It sounds glamorous, but it takes dedication, passion and long, long hours to make it happen. Top of my list are Emily Henderson, Anna Spiro, Lucy Feagins, Holly Becker and Bri Emery, but there are so many more.

Some of the bloggers and interior mavens who inspire Vic

Tell us something we wouldn’t guess about you!
Before interiors came sports! When I was younger I played lots of different sports, but my favourite was hockey – I represented Wellington for many years. Now all you’ll catch me doing is pounding the street with my dog and my iPod, and occasionally biking to the cafe on my Electra Cruiser.

What are some of your favourite design and style blogs that you think we should go and visit?
Once again, there are many. I like to visit international blogs to get a feel for what’s happening out in the big world. Emily Henderson always inspires me and often features awesome ‘before and after’s'; Desire to Inspire never lets you down; and SF Girl by Bay is another fav. In terms of NZ blogs you can’t go past Fancy! New Zealand Design Blog, Studio Home, The Design Chaser, and Milo & Mitzy.

Pics from some of Vic’s favourite blogs

Whats the best thing about being a blogger? Whats the suckiest thing?  The best thing is the friends you make. I’ve met like-minded people from all over the world through blogging. And all the amazing things you discover when sourcing content for the blog. There’s not a lot of sucky things for me when it comes to blogging – maybe having to sit at my desk for so many hours a day. Sometimes I envy those pilates instructors whose work is a work-out too!  Pic of Home Office

Finally, got any tips for start-up bloggers to get them over the global average 3 month lifespan?
Really, is that the average blog lifespan?! Well, I would say if you want to start a blog, make sure it’s a topic that you’re super enthusiastic about. You don’t want it to become a chore, but if you’re writing and featuring things that excite you, how can it?   In saying that, it is a lot of work, so make sure you take some time out for you. I enjoy my weekends off blogging – that’s my family time – and like any job, you need to take a break from time to time. As long as you let your readers know you’re on holiday, they’ll be fine with it. And you can come back feeling refreshed, and hopefully, with some new ideas for the blog.
