Bears & babies: photography idea

Pinterest revealed to me that some mothers don’t believe they need to dress their children up in little bear outfits… that they’re cute enough and dressing them as bears is silly. Nothing wrong with that of course, but personally I couldn’t disagree more!

Don’t get me wrong, I fully agree babies are cute enough not to need little bear hats. I just also think they look bloomin’ adorable in said bear hats, and don’t think I could resist making any future baby of mine into a baby bear for an hour or two!

It’s because of pictures like this…

Whether you dress your baby as a bear, or just picture them with a bear I think you’ll get some insanely sweet shots :)

Screenprinted baby bibs and other adorable attire

Manchester-based Nell Smith makes stupidly adorable baby wear! She screenprints all the garments by hand and can even personalise them to include your child’s name. With cute hats, baby bibs and mini T-shirts all coming in at under £20 these would be a perfect gift for a newborn too. And if you want one yourself (like I do) Nell also welcomes custom orders. Yay!

Take-G Wooden Toys

Now, I have to apologise up front because it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to buy these AMAZING Take-G wooden toys, but I could just not resist sharing them because they look so good! The Japanese man that makes them only runs a tiny craft shop with his wife and although you can buy other lovely wooden toys he makes, these wooden robots are made mainly with exhibitions in mind. Sad face.

Uniting the past & future

Still, I think you’ll appreciate looking at them, and the sentiment behind them :)

As the creator, Nakagawa, explains:

“I often get asked ‘Why do you make robots with wood?’ I don’t really have an exact answer for it but I often relate my robots with ‘future.’ I don’t think humans can live without trees no matter what advances technology makes. When I think of ‘future,’ I cannot help thinking of ‘past’ at the same time. Trees take a long time (tens and hundreds years) to grow and show us their beauty (the product of their past). I think that I have responsibilities as a craftsman and an artist of breathing new life into these trees. I have a job to link 100 years in the past and 100 years in the future through my work. These are my values toward my work.

Sadly this just makes me want one even more…
