Crafty style by the dozen

Etsy can be hit-and-miss but this original Irish-made tableware from Per Dozen Designs is bang on target. Whales, bears, squirrels, swallows – creatures from all walks of wildlife tamed in a beautiful mix of black-and-white line drawings and dreamlike bursts of colour. Our favourite is this set of whale plates (€40 for a set of two).

Per Dozen can personalise designs with messages (free of charge) and takes commissions for original one-off designs. See etsy.com/shop/PerDozenDesignor look for Per Dozen Design on Facebook for details of upcoming markets.
