I wish I’d found German illustrator Peggy Wolf just a tiny bit sooner… her beautiful collage work would have been perfect for my post about magazine bits. Now, I’ve never written a post about squirrels, but if I had, her work would have been perfect for that too.
Last Hallowe’en I put together an online show called Masked. This year, just to shake things up a bit, I decided to search my past posts for the word “scared”… and this is what came up! Ooooh, scary indeed. Have a great, and spoooooky Hallowe’en weekend everyone! See ya Monday.
And hey, while we’re here, why not do a quick search for “creepy” too:
ps. if that little girl knocks on your door this Sunday, don’t answer it.
{Scared: 1) Maurizio Anzeri 2) Katinka Lampe 3) Lynn Whipple 4) Kael Kasabian 5) Carmen Calvo // Creepy: 1) Tamara Muller 2) Foliage 3) Mark Ryden}
I love these large scale photographs by Nils Nova, and cannot stop staring at that cube.
Wow. Just wow.
Is it weird that I’m totally jealous of the dolls who get to live in this house? No, I didn’t think so either. These super cool, damn I wish I’d thought of it, dollhouse interiors are by Georgia Smith, and were featured in the latest issue of frankie magazine. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Georgia {i don’t even have a link for you}, so let me know if you have any info… oh, and if you could get me some of that amazing teeny-tiny wallpaper while you’re at it, that would be fantastic!

ps. continuing with the dollhouse theme… if you missed the post about Heather Benning a few weeks ago, you must go and take a look!
Fabric, acrylic, found paper, and string ~ these are a few of my favourite things! Ok sorry, but it was either that, or a joke about there being no place like home. I went with the Sound of Music reference. American artist Kelly O’Connor on the other hand, managed to get every snippet of my childhood, movie-based, memories into a few sweet, yet somewhat disturbing, mixed media pieces. Thankfully those scary flying monkeys didn’t make the cut… I’m still getting over the terror that they caused!
This ain’t no regular library. Nope, this library is actually a series titled Every Book Ever, by Mary Alyssa Block. It consists of over 70 books whose covers she’s meticulously recreated onto the appropriate sized pieces of found wood. Love, love, love! Granted, with this collection of books I might never be able to identify a bird in California, and there’s a very good chance that I’ll over-water my cactus… but hey, that’s the price I’m willing to pay for beautiful art!

ps. I think I’ve found the perfect place to stack these books ~ the house that jealousy built of course! pop over to sfgirlbybay and have a look at my latest room… the library!
Boys in cardigans, holding pigeons. Yep… I’m jealous. I love these drawings {the added colour is oil paint} by Canadian artist Genevieve Dionne. And I’m even more impressed because she didn’t even need a pencil! All of these pieces are done with a very hot little wood burning tool leaving no room for error. I don’t know about you, but I need a little room for error! I’d hate to see what might happen to that boy’s pigeon with a wood burning tool in my hand! Ouch.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so what better time to write about a collection of work featuring a whole bunch of pink, and a whole bunch of, well, breasts! Don’t be shy ladies. Check early, check often xo

Ok, kicking things off by getting straight to the point, thanks to Team Macho:
Beautiful embroidery work {in a variety of cup sizes} by Jenny Hart:
“Mounds” by Margaux Lange… yep, those are Barbie boobs!
Charmaine Olivia… Deer heads and doilies!
Peregrine Honig‘s Little Red Riding Hood showing off her bikini tan. Love, love, love!
Emily Barletta manages to make diseased cells look beautiful with her amazing crochet/bead work:
Lovely pink ladies by Tina Berning:
…and of course, a post about breast cancer wouldn’t be complete without at least of few pink ribbons. Pen drawings by Leigh Wells:

These lovely slip cast sculptures by Robin Van Valkenburgh look like a ceramic ode to a very bizarre dream… a dream that I’m assuming was the result of getting cozy with a tub of marshmallow fluff ice cream and a copy of Alice in Wonderland moments before falling asleep. Hm, maybe I’ll give that a try and see what happens… let’s just hope that I don’t hear “Danny the baby lamb” whisper my name in a tiny little voice *shudder*
Here’s what I know about Brooklyn based artist Langdon Graves… she’s based in Brooklyn. Ok, other than that I don’t know much, but I think it’s probably safe to assume that she loves pink, cool haircuts, and drawing with graphite pencil. Oh, and then of course there’s the one thing that I’m absolutely sure of… I’m jealous. Very.
