Fairy Tales & Magic..

Tonight I happened across a wonderful page filled with fairy tale magic.. Link
A strange coinsidence - since the new range of Rachel Helen jewellery has been spilling out all over my sketch book in a frenzied magical creative splurge for a few days!!

The new limited edition range 'Once upon a midnight hour' (working title) - follows the influence of the darker side of fairy tales, taking refrence from tales of all variety and meaning..

For a sneaky glimpse of the work in progress, take this drawing and turn it into silver and stone...

Pan's Labyrinth...

I missed this first time round. Desparately wanted to see it at the cinema but never had chance!
Totally forgot about all the hype, then happened across it on freeview earlier this week!..
WOW!! How did I manage to miss this??!! Absolutely fantastic film.. so dark and erie just like real Fairy Tales where intended! If the Brothers Grimm made films I'm sure they would look like this..

Bikes & bums..

Such a lovely site.. you can't beat the way these old fashioned bikes look so cool.. none of this mountain bike 50 gears, super suspension rubbish! Real hardcore bum hurting leg aching reality! Give me one of these over super suspension any day!
