It may have been cold and gray outside but bright, saturated color was being embraced inside the New York International Gift Fair. Exhibitors were on trend for 2013 with all the riotous color the experts have told us to expect to come on strong. And strong they are; bold feels beautiful.
I love the idea of the book binding being done in a solid bright color. What a great way to bring a little chroma (and drama) to an ordinarily neutral place. Think of the fun you could have!

The artist started with bugs. I am glad to see he moved on to non-living organisms. The feathers are much nicer (and beautifully displayed)
If your home doesn't need a shot of color, I bet your wardrobe does??
