1000 Creatives I found in 2011

So two weeks ago I mentioned on my blog that one of my resolutions this year is to discover 1000 New Creatives Online. By 'creatives' I mean anyone/ anything online whether it's a blog, musician, new website, crafty person on twitter, an artist blog, a handmade shop on etsy etc. It could just be a new idea, new art by an artist I already know. As long as it's someone/ something new to me in 2011. I'm hoping you can all help me along my journey and suggest on the comments below a website, song, blog, video, online store or creative individual I should check out. Every Monday I will list any new creatives I discover and enjoy on my blog and will 'countdown' my list to keep me on track.

992. Ok, so most of you have probably already heard of the handmade greatness of crochet extraordinare Yokoo. But have you seen this amazing short film by Etsy featuring Yokoo?

991. The food styling of Angela Hardison has me inspired to eat healthy.

990. Olo is a tiny, beautiful fragrance line based in Portland. Each scent is hand blended in limited edition batches. Love the idea of the combination of leather and lavender.The branding took my breath away too.

979. Check out the home of Eline Pellinkhof. Lots of personal style. [via Bloesem]

I've been receiving lots of exciting packages in the mail in the past week. Here are just some of my new purchases:
1. Hot Over the Knee Tattoo Socks (so I can pretend I have a tattoo)

2. Rob Ryan Handprinted Tile
Rob is amazing! He has his own little shop in London called 'Ryan Town' filled with all his loving art on clothes, homewares and more. This is the first of many purchases I hope to get from him.

3. Live What You Love Letterpress Print in Red by Hijirik
I love typography and words (I even own a dvd which is a documentrary all about typography and . I chose these words to inspire me to follow my passions when it comes to life and work.
