Cute Birthday Card I Made






My beautiful kitten <3 I like making paper cut cards, they are so intricate and delicate. They are very personal and unique too, and the lucky person who got this will be happy because of that!

Antony Gormley Wire Sculptures






I love the way these are constructed, and the way you don't instantly realise there is a figure hidden in the centre. I like the feeling of looking at something, realising something about it then never looking at it the same way again.

The Sundew Plant





Nature is always a great place to find inspiration. I love the tentacles! They look like they have dew on the ends (hence the name) but its really a sticky substance for catching flies. The level of detail is beautiful.

Echinothrix Calamaris






(Echinothrix Calamaris) are not something I would particularly want to hold, but I love their shape, to me
they look like they have shrunk inwards, leaving empty space behind. Some of the detail on the spines is so
intricate its amazing!

Weird and Wonderful Sea Plants





Some beautiful shapes here, i love the long strands and tentacles dangling down. they have the feeling as if they are perpetually reaching for something. I love their detail and intricacy.

Beautiful Chinese Lanterns





Chinese lanterns can come in just about any shape or form, some here are more traditional, some are more out of the ordinary. They are very delicate and gentle things. the swans in particular i love, the glowing really suits the colour of swan feathers.

More of Room XX by Miquel Barceló





The scale of this is just breathtaking! The colour is also mesmerising (all 35 tonnes of paint of it) it just radiates around the room. I could imagine a mirror one of stalagmites on the floor shadowing it, I could imagine walking through it, that would be a strange experience!

Room XX by Miquel Barceló







This is a giant art installation in the UN’s palace of nations in geneva. It covers the roof (a full 4,600 square feet!) with multi-coloured stalactite forms. The scale of this is incredible, something I would definitely love to see in person. It transforms the room into a giant cave, making it seem as if the world is dripping down to the floor, incredible colours, incredible scale, incredible everything!

More Strange and Surreal Sea Anemones






I adore the vibrant colours! They seem so full of life yet are stationary and barely move... just gently reaching for something just out of grasp. They have a gently glowing ambience to them which I like.
