‘Daring you to do it yourself’
Described by founder and editor Lucy Murrey as a ‘DIY-couture catalogue’, Silly Little Projects is a fun and interactive new publication dedicated to craft and the art of not taking itself too seriously.
This sophomore edition—themed ‘DIY Trying’—is about being bold enough to fly in the face of perfection, and realise those lofty plans crowding your head space. As editor Lucy Murrey writes in her introduction: ‘We can all dream. But for every 50 or so dreamers you’ve never heard of, there’s a doer you look up to.’ Leaf through screen grabs from YouTube videos offering advice to artists, discover a Frankensteinian doll with interchangeable features, as well as Notes app poetry soundtracked by trip-hop band Headache. Plus, get inspired to direct your own photoshoot, with a cut-out newspaper prop accompanying a faux beachside editorial within.
All this and more, bookended by an illustrated front cover that readers are invited to colour in.
