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!
