New prints by Angie B
Sometimes, I spot something and there is that instinctive ‘like’. These prints called Paper cities and places by Angie B are one of those reflex reactions. They are prints of her original paper cut art work. I love the vibrant colours and that unifying bubblegum pink in all the prints. You can […]

Even better, they will be holding a silent auction for them during London Design Festival, […]
