Things that look like things ...

I love checking this site to see beautiful pictures collected from public Flickr posts and cleverly assembled together.

Jeannie Baker

Jane reminded me today about the gorgeous collages created by Jeannie Baker for her highly evocative children's stories ..... keep an eye out for her books!

Poor old squished disks

Stuck at home in bed for a week as my back has been causing me grief again ....


- getting rather tired of staring at cracks in the ceiling!

Moonrise/sunrise above my winter garden

(I'll edit these as soon as I can - a little immobile at the moment...)

Cheaper than taxidermy

.... and nobody has to die.
Love these pictures of a see-through wolf by Murphy (posted on Flickr by Lizette Greco) - Ha!





Darn it! The pictures didn't load properly. I'll post them again soon (meanwhile, check out Liz Grecco's Flickr set and the video linked through the comments section of this post).

Supersized cuteness

... from Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman.

Birdbrain

Today has been quite hectic, with many frustrations at work.
I feel a bit like this fella:



(and I've been through all these stages today too ....)






Time to go home!

Papercuts

Beautiful paper artworks by Peter Callesen ...




I found his gallery on the web and absolutely swooned over the large and small scale paper sculptures, framed works and installations (it's well worth browsing through the whole site).

Sticky!

Today I received an email with pictures of Mark Jenkins' whimsical sticky tape figures...

Scandinavian dreaming

Sorry, none of my own pics today but a couple of links to some lovely blogs:
Posidriv from Norway (accompanied by outrageously beautiful photos on Flickr), Emma's Design Blog from Sweden, Astrid's photoblog from Norway, and Liivian Talossa from Finland ....







Ach! Wanderlust!
