Maps of the Tour de France

It’s almost Le Tour time and I’m already so excited! In celebrating all things Le Tour I’ve found these gorgeous posters of the maps of past tours. Just fantastic.

Charming Bike artwork

These two pieces by Chase and Wonder are just so charming. I love the imagery of old hot air balloons so team that with bikes and it’s all just so lovely.

D.I.Y Tuesday – race numbers

Race numbers are great…..while you are in the race. Wearing them after the race makes you seem, well a bit “look at me I did a race” which is not exactly a great look.

So you’ve put in a great performance and got yourself a race number, or maybe you stole one off the back of a jersey during a PRO Tour race you were watching. How do you display it while still maintaining an air of style about your house?

Perhaps in a grouping of frames like this?

Grouped with some bicycle inspired artworks and nicely framed they look great and not at all like you took your decorating tips from the local sports club.

In a wide shot of the room you can see how it all blends in with this house’s style of decor.

So for this D.I.Y grab yourself some frames and get to adding a bit of cycling style to your interiors.

Bicycle art from Made by Joel

Creative people inspire me so much and one whom I admire alot is Joel of Made by Joel. His toys and creations for his kids are the coolest kid toys around and he turns the most simple supplies into things of wonder.

So when he posted up a painting he had done that was inspired by a pair of Paul Smith socks I just knew I had to share

Take some time to check out his blog and instructions for toy making they really are amazing.

New look blog

After we freshened up the look of the Rocket Fuel site last week the blog was looking a little sad so this week it has had a mini makeover with a new header

As always we continue to tweak the site and blog to make them more user friendly and display our handmade goods in the best possible environment.

Enjoy
