Dream it, buy it, flickr it

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Last night I dreamt of flying dogs and giants. An iron man was facing away from me. He murmured “…sometimes my arms bend backwards.” It was strange.

We are a little sleep deprived, but issue #2 is out and on its way to you. And here are images of projects to do from our winter issue. Join the World Sweet World Projects group on flickr and add pictures of projects of issue #1 or #2 you’ve done yourself. We’d love to see some.

Today is the launch day of World Sweet World issue #2 – we have been preparing and wrapping, delivering and posting, so go and get your issue #2: from these shops, or from our World Sweet World site.

Guess what I did last …weekend

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

It involved glue and cardboard, and a project of the new issue #2 of the magazine. But saying more would be telling. We’re expecting issue #2 to come back from the printer this afternoon, and it’ll come out this Thursday, 5th June. Coinciding with this, the website and blog will be updated visually, and there’ll be some new stuff on the site: updated Hot Dates, a few sneak peek pictures of issue #2, and of course the option to buy issue #2 and to subscribe to issues #3 – #6.

See you then!

Thomas

PS Oh, and guess what we did the weekend before that! We went to the Knack Market in Berhampore, a very cute little crafty market. There’ll be another one in a couple of months, so keep your eyes peeled!
