About

Welcome to Magpie Design’s blog. I am Deb Poole, the creator whom the mapgie inspires. My work involves many media but finds form in journals, albums, books and paper treasure boxes. Most of the pieces are constructed out of bookboard or Davey board, combined with paper from many sources (I collect like the magpie!) and beads, baubles, ribbons and sometimes tiny teacups! Classic forms and techniques from Japan and Europe serve as the foundation for the forms, but my inspiration comes from nature, my childhood, books, anything tiny and shopping at antique and second hand stores.
