Mister Finch's Adventures

Fairy tales made from textile - this is the world of whimsical curiosities that are measured, cut and sewn from vintage fabrics, old stained aprons, dusty curtains and trims.  Realistically and  ingenuously conceptualized, Mister Finch's objects inspired by nature are mysterious and a bit creepy.  His creatures tell a story, they evoke wonderment and inspire the collector. Mister Finch resides in Yorkshire and with no formal training his works of art sell out on Etsy very quickly.  Welcome to Mister Finch's adventures...

The Curated Corner

As an interior designer, I love creating a story with vignettes.  I think every room should have some kind of  grouping that ideally consists of objects, art and lighting (lamp).  Introduce some character, warmth and drama by creating your own curated corner in your living space.  Approach the process as an art exhibit perhaps.  The key to a successful vignette is the combination of different textures, shapes, materials and objects that are tall, short, big and small.  Enjoy!

A Collage Studio

I'm always fascinated by the environments people work and live in, especially people that are in the creative industry.  This space is where Gail Rieke creates her collages made from natural found objects.  Her collage trunk wall is so beautiful!

Gallery Walls

I still love an amazing eclectic gallery wall!  I'll always have one in my home.

Begin at the Beginning...

 Artist, Vasilis Papatsarouchas takes one on a whimsical and thought provoking journey through the classic story of Alice and Wonderland with his modern and sophisticated spin of the fairy tale.  Vasilis is a celebrated book illustrator and in the past 15 years more than 50 books have been published containing his illustrations.  The use of color, typography and pattern appeals to both children and adults.  Papatsarouchas genius interpretation of one of my favorite fairy tales has me intrigued and wanting more.  But there is always an ending to the beginning to everything.
"Begin at the beginning," the king said, very gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop."


STOP...

A little Tuesday inspiration from a few of my favorite classical artists/engravers.  All from the 16th Century, these detailed engravings are by Battista Palumba, Nicoletto da Modena and Albrecht Durer.  Enjoy
