Wondering what the art blogging scene looks like outside of the United States? Some of the loveliest art and design blogs make their bricks and mortar homes in faraway places I'd love to visit someday. Here's a virtual tour of the very blogs you'll want to add to the art and design tab on your reader before the next post comes around.
Dreamer Girl Netherlands Silvia (aka Dreamer Girl) writes of everyday matters with the perspective of a painter and the soul of a muse. Ethereal photographs adorn her pages along with quotes from the likes of Mary Oliver, personal poet to artists everywhere. If you like the feel and texture of Chronicles of Me, you'll especially enjoy this dreamer girl's blog.
Belle and Boo United Kingdom. Formerly of MillyMollyMandy, this Britain-based blog captures the calm of a newborn nursery and the whimsy of A.A. Milne's Christopher Robin and company. A perfect blend of art and photography, this blog manages to capture a serious sense of place while not neglecting updates on current illustration projects--both of which are delightful. Don't miss the Etsy shop.
iHanna (Sweden). Hanna is the maven of all things arts and crafts on the web. Her love of fiber and textiles makes for happy browsing, and her Link Love page will send you out and about to the finest arts and crafts blogs in Europe and behind. Don't miss her shop here.
Irene Nam (France). Over the years, Irene Nam has scaled back her blog to the bare essentials, but I promise if you are not a fan already, you won't be disappointed. Her daily photographs generate their own special calm, and Irene's unique experience as a mother of twins gives her pages double the delight.
