Labyrinth

I adore the film Labyrinth, it's amazing. I found this illustration in the style of Alphonse Mucha, it's by Karen Hallion. I love it!

Brian Dettmer

Brian Dettmer is an artist that I looked at last year for one of my essays. He finds old hardback books with illustrations inside them, then cuts away the front cover and pages to uncover them.

whilst I was researching in the library for my new project, (I was looking at bird skulls) I came across this:

I have a fascination with mounted animal heads but because it's not very PC any more people are coming 

up with more interesting ways to create them, like making them out of pieces of wood that you slot together

but these are by for the most intriguing and interesting to look at. 

Isis

This is not my picture but I really like it. I'm not sure who created it but I got it from this website.

Notebook

I like looking at notebooks and my sister collects patterned ones. They usually have really interesting covers. Of course the better looking ones cost more money. But this really simple one caught my eye.

Mirrors

So far in my room I have four large mirrors, but I would like to have a large collection and have them all hanging on one wall.

Topshop

The Dinosaur from meet the robinsons

I love this bit in the film.

Urban Outfitters

I recently went to Urban Outfitters and I saw their collection of patterned plates for sale. They are absolutely amazing, so pretty.

They also sell tea cups and saucers, sugar pots, tea pots and milk jugs.

They are on sale at the moment on the website, I can't wait till I move out of this student house and into my own, then I'm going to fill it with things like this.
