I was looking for snow globe inspiration for some Christmas ones I was planning to make and I stumbled upon these cool ones by Martin and Paloma Munoz famous for their sculptures and photographs of sculptures that contrast pristine settings and grisly scenes.

Cool Find
I saw paper/book artist Su Blackwell at the Bronte Museum a while back and it was pretty cool; she had cut up some of the Bronte’s books to create her work. She has a gallery of comissioned works on her website that are awesome (but very expensive!).
I like that her work is a lot less mass produced than Rob Ryan (who is much more well known) who’s paper cut outs are on everything including things like tea towels here they are clearly now cut out, and even the cut out cards are done by machine not by hand.
I found these cute drawings by Javier Perez who uses everyday objects and line drawings to make photo illustrations.
A site I periodically cruise: Geek Crafts! Where geek and crafts collide!
Here’s a few cool pics:
Lego Man Mittens
Stay-Puft Meringue Marshmallow Men
Crocheted Hot Air Balloon
Crafting In Space
The Guardian has a nice gallery of ‘extreme cakes’ featuring unicorn poop and severed hands. Here’s some red velvet open wounds by Jacqui Kelly Cake Revolution:
Not actually sure I could stomach them…
Cool blog I like- A Beautiful Mess– quite crafty but also lifestyle-y.

I really like the work of printmaker James Green, I even bought a poster of a ‘Deinonychus’ to temporarily satisfy my dinosaur obsession!
