Mesmerising

Made popular by Loie Fuller read more there. I love that the colours were added later, what painstaking effort! and that enchanting score by Raph Regan keeps the enchantment going until the music sadly stops...

Victoire de Castellane for Dior

Victoire de Castellane marked her 10th anniversary of working at Dior in 2009 by designing the Rois et Reines (Kings and Queens) collection. 20 pieces- 10 kings and 10 queens, all feature a skull carved from semi precious stones- Chrysolite, Jade, Chalcedony, then they are put in diamond encrusted accoutrements.

They are completely maddeningly out of this world!

Christmas Wishlist

Ah Santa, you don't exist but by putting this to you instead of someone in general, i not only feel like a kid again, but less materialistic and silly. one of these would be nice!!

A nice little bone shaped ring, the Marc Jacobs ones are perfect, whilst not one for labels, this is my favourite design, i like the silver and wouldn't ever take it off!

Bobo needs a friend for company, and this medical model Mr Bo Jangles (i came up with his name when i was 12) would be a perfect companion

Art Deco jewellery

How about this splendid Heico Bunny lamp?

Or a magic mushroom

Taxidermy!

But not necessarily a Polly Morgan scale piece!

Some nice shoesies, particularly Mary Janes

A Paper Blanks journal would be lovely too, to write more silly lists in.

So there we go Santa, no presure!

What do you guys hope for this Christmas, ages away though it be

Polly Morgan

Not for the faint hearted, the work of Polly Morgan is incredible. Taxidermy has long been something that has divided opinions, as a fan of it, the way she styles her pieces compliments the long associated almost gothic theme Taxidermy carries with it 

Here is a link to her website, and here are some of her amazing pieces:

Couldn't find the title for this one, a favourite of mine

Flying Machine

actual crows, sculpted like a flower

eternal rest for these beauties

Here is a great article about her
