SCREAM!

Don’t worry I’m not going to turn this blog into an obsessive twilight fan page but I do feel like I had to mark the opening of NEW MOON with a few pictures…AAAAHHHHHH!!

I CAN’T WAIT to see this guy…

…betray this girl

…who then befriends this guy who is in love with her and totally gutted when…

…She fights for the love of the guy who abandoned her…. ohhhhhh juicy!

Can’t wait, but I think I will wait so that I don’t get crushed in the cinema by crazy teenage twihards!

AAHHHHHHHH!

After that list of goodies now all you need is a kitchen to match!

AMAZING!! This LEGO kitchen was designed by Paris-based Simon Pillard & Philippe Rosetti, the Munchausen LEGO Kitchen was created around an IKEA kitchen island, which over a week they cover with more than 20,000 LEGO pieces. What an amazing result, I don’t know about you but if I had 20,000 LEGO pieces and a whole load of patience then I’d love to make a LEGO creation!

“Inside all of us is a Wild Thing” Maurice Sendak

This weekend a pal told me that Opening ceremony had some Where the Wild Things Are inspired clothing for sale as well as a collection of jewellery by Pamela Love, which I had to blog about. Below I have created a list of all things inspired by the amazing book by Maurice Sendak.

Medicom Toy x Where The Wild Things Are available at Colette €65.00

Christian Joy, famously known as the designer behind the amazing Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs elaborate and imaginative stage costumes has created 5 monster suits in honor of Where the Wild Things Are , some of which are below and the others can be found at the Urban Outfitters blog.

Girl Skateboards have released a limited edition WTWTA decks

Pamela Love’s jewellery collection available at Opening Ceremony . The ring below and the horn head band are definitely on my wish list! (These pieces remind me of Dominic Jones’ collection which I posted pictures of a while back)

AWWWW, I LOVE THESE! Again from Opening Ceremony, unfortunately these playsuits have already sold out..booo, not that I could afford  the cool $ 610.00 price tag.

Karen O wrote the score for the movie. Dressed in Christain Joy

Kubrick Toys WTWTA at Colette

Cute mobile at Salty and Sweet’s Etsy Shop for $ 30.00

Phew, what a long list… I think I might make a Max hat with horns and crown aswell as a tail and claws for Halloween. Will post some images when I make it.

Monsters

Here are some new monster dolls I have just finished making. I still haven’t come up with a collective name for them so if anyone has a good suggestion please comment. I will be making other shapes soon…

I am in the process of gathering enough stock for an Etsy shop to sell these wee dolls on. I will keep you all posted when I launch it. Remember names for the dolls are always welcome!

Home Made.

Away from my day-to-day job I make jewellery, dolls, bags and other accessories. I was recently given a box full of feathers from my aunt, which had belonged to my grandfather who used to be a keen fly fisher. So I decided to make some hair pieces with them. Here are a few modeled by the lovely Safiya, Thankyou lady!

head band and cuffs

Look how happy you could be wearing feathers in your hair!

Feather hair slide and cuffs

Name and charm necklaces

Here is another one of my Monster dolls with a zippy mouth.

I will post new photos when I make more items and if anyone is interested in buying anything let me know or if anyone wants to go to a fancy dress party as a bird I’m your lady.

Monsters

In the last year I have started making wee monsters dolls out of old fabric found in charity shops and old clothes etc. There are loads of dolls about to get inspiration from. I recently found out a my pal Ivonne is working for Donna Wilson who makes pre-stitched knitted shapes so you can assemble and stuff your own wee monster. I got one for Christmas, but still need to stitch it up. I’m still building my own wee collection but here are a few examples…

I am currently making a sunflower which I will post soon.
