One of the more awesome things about running a business is the ability to get behind things and people that you really believe in. To seek out innovative projects and partners with beliefs and goals similar to yours and to collectively create something truly unique and special.

Which leads me to our latest project ... our Bespoke T-Rex Head Wall Mount designed in collaboration with Irish artist/ model-maker Vincent Lam. The idea behind this beautifully crafted head piece was to make something contemporary, intricately detailed and completely kick-ass. Something that EVERYONE would want to hang on their wall and this fierce beauty is what we came up with.

Vincent, a graduate of IADT - is an award-winning artist and when he's not sketching he tends to be model-making on film sets - he's intensely talented and I'm not just saying that because we're siblings, I say that because it's true. I mean, come on - just LOOK! That incredibly detailed dinosaur head, yes that one - was made by him. WITH HIS HANDS!

So it's safe to say I'm INCREDIBLY proud and excited to introduce this April and the Bear collaboration. Each head is made to order and is designed, hand-sculpted, moulded, cast and painted in Kildare, Ireland and hence can take 2-3 weeks to deliver. But I promise you, they are SO worth the wait.

April and the Bear is an award-winning DIY/ lifestyle and interiors blog. Dublin-based interior enthusiast/ blogger and entrepreneur Siobhan Lam shares her own experiences of doing up her home in Portobello ... be warned it involves head wounds, bruised shins, fire engines and never-ending mountains of dust. Don’t let this deter you though – we want to encourage and help other not-so-handy individuals to throw caution to the wind and pick up that sledge hammer, but to do so with slightly bent knees and a hard hat firmly on your head. 

 

April and the Bear blog attracts devoted readers from across the globe, we won 'Best Business Blog' at the Image.ie Blog Awards 2014 and were nominated for the 2014 The BOPS and The Blog Awards 2014 AND we were nominated for 'Best Online Shop' in the Irish Times Best Shops Competition 2015.
