I also seriously want to live in this house. I read about it in Lula magazine I just adore it. It's an old farmhouse out in the Canadian countryside and it was tranformed into a chraming life-sized dollhouse by artist Heather Benning.
Amazingly enough, Heather did 90% of the entire job herself and only received help from a friend for the really tricky bits. To me, it's such a mesmirising idea to have such a picturesque little house on such desolate plains. Heather said in the interview that she infact began to imagine the family that would live there and concluded that they had two children before going on to explain the details of their lifestyle. It's really beautiful when somebody is so passionate about what they are doing that they become so involved and I can imagine it would be somewhat sad when she finished the project, like when you enjoy a book so much that you wish it to continue. However, all those working hours have certainly been worthwhile and her efforts have led to an unique piece of artwork for others to enjoy visiting and get lost in the fairytale pastel-walled rooms, creating stories of there own.
Take Care.

My Easter break, as predicted has been full of study study study so I'm sure as hell hoping that good grades come out of these socially deprived hours. However, I had the pleasure of going to see "Bat For Lashes" this week which was incredible. Natasha is known for her outstanding live performances and true to the media's word, the entire performance was lively and enchanting . I fell for the "through the merchandise stall" exit and bought a Bat for lashes t-shirt which I simply adore. I love the print on it, and it's the kind of thing I would have bought if it was in a store anyhow. My parents however, seemed somewhat surprised with my purchase with a kind of .. "Oh, it's a swan............in a bears mouth......... is that not a bit...........gruesome?"
(Buy online here)
On a different note, I came across this quirky little egg and soldier set online, where the toasted soldiers travel on horseback to attack the egg castle! It is the design of London based designer Takae Mizutani and is available to buy here. It would make a pretty sweet Easter gift!
Have a wonderful day

Photography has been something that I have took an interest in last summer. My dad used to photograph as a pastime and he took some pretty neat pictures. After he explained the basics to me, I started getting books out of the library and my interest has since grown to an aspiration to start taking better pictures myself. My dad did warn me that with the non digital SLRs it could be a timely process to getting used to using the correct appeture, shutter speed etc. for the right kind of photograph however, something that is keeping me motivated to start trying it out myself, is viewing other photographers fantastic photos. When I see a photo of something, someplace or somebody that is truly beautiful it just makes me wish that I could do that too. Please be sure to comment and let me know of any photographers that you enjoy.
Have a nice day
