One of my favorite magazines, Ideas Magazine (South Africa) has a heap of inspirational projects for spring happening in their March (illustration) issue and from their website now renamed, Daily Fix. In their March issue there are loads of illustration ideas, techniques and templates like the above on the papier mache nests. The March issue you can buy online through zinio.com. Check them out!
