Ohhhhh my - are we excited with this idea from M.Patrizio.......Thanks for the unreal use.

Marilyn Patrizio was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She is a freelance illustrator, fine artist and soft toy designer.

After graduating from the School of Visual Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration in 2000 she began working as a staff illustrator at a children's educational software company. In 2004 she dove into the world of freelance illustration and has enjoyed collaborating with local and international clients ever since. In the beginning of 2005 she discovered the art of crochet toys also known as Amigurumi. This was perfect for her because her mother had taught her how to crochet many years before, and this was a great way to incorporate 3-D items into her work.

After a few months of experimentation making freeform soft toys she decided to start a company called So Softies in March 2005. She's grown the So Softies line to now include stationery, t-shirts and accessories featuring the original characters that she's created.

If anyone else has done something cool with decalart mania, send us a pic and your bio so we can add it to the blog.

Amy - the lady mayor of wonderful Pikaland had this to say about Camilla's decals...

"Did you see these new decals by Camilla Engman? They’re available for purchase from Third Drawer Down. I would stick these all over the place too if I were her!"
Thanks Amy!

Swedish artist Camilla Engman received her decal pack via post today and had fun in her apartment
She's designed a set that is perfect to tell 'little stories' around the house...

in fact the title of her decalart set is 'fragment of a story'...

We wonder what happens in the end...

turning to Australian artist David Bromley for help...
his little house from the Third Drawer Down decalart set was perfect.

American artist Seth Scriver knows how to work some decalart style into his dubiously stocked cupboard. We are particulary intrigued with the magic baking powder!

Third Drawer Down are champing at the bit with excitement as we have just launched our first collection

of 'Decalart Mania' around the amazing world by our agents and distributor

Idea Books.

Rub down on your letters, images, logos - to almost any surfaces (paper, wood, metal, acrylic, ceramic, mirrors, glass, tiles, books, photos, walls, cabinets and furniture).

Third Drawer Down Decalart Mania is about decoration, play, expression, transformation, satire or social commentary. It’s a philosophical exercise for the heart and mind.

We have had fantastic blogging from crafters and designers playing with the product, we will be posting these on the site to show you what you can do with it. Please send us a link and your web.
