Furniture inspired by Alice in Wonderland

i like this furniture because...
This furniture is awesome! I think if you look at it in context they are designed really well.i think these would be really fun to put in a kids room.the illusion is that all the things on the shelf should fall off but these are designed so that the shelves and exactly parallel to the ground so nothing will fall off the shelves.


i don't like this furniture because...

This piece of furniture is very creative and we can see that the designer was inspired but i don't think this chair is very practical.I think this chair is not a very good design.The chair goes up the wall which means that only half the chair can be sat on and if you try lay on it you will be extremely uncomfortable.I think this chair is not made to be put in a everyday house or for anyone to sit on, i think it is made for show.What is the point of spending lots of money on something that you cant even use...well that's my opinion anyway.


Jewellery inspired by Alice in Wonderland

i like these pieces because...

i really like this pendant,i think its really cleverly designed.By putting all the characters and objects in a keyhole the designer has created closure and the element of imagination.By this design we can see the designer has either read Alice in Wonderland or seen it.By designing the pendant around a keyhole it also gives the viewers of this piece a chance to imagine what is through the keyhole...each person will have a different story.i think this is really a fun way of encouraging people to use their imaginations. 



i found this ring that i absolutely love.i think it is so cleverly designed i love fantasy and i think when people see mushrooms they immediately associate them with fantasy. i think it is clever how the designer has made the mushroom stems form the ring.This ring may not be the most practical ring to wear everyday but i don't think the designer meant for it to be.I would buy a ring like this...


i found the image of the ring on http://www.theresidentarchitect.com/2010/08/alice-in-wonderland-jewelry.html and the image of the pendant on http://blogshopr.com/20100317/alice-in-wonderland-inspired-jewelry-with-antique-charms-such-as/

I don't like these designs because...
                                                   

Well what can i say...when i first saw this i was like "wow that's a bit over the top" and i looked a little closer and analysed it a bit and i think this ring is definitely over the top.its made of coral.I think this ring is totally impractical and not very appealing.i think if you had to wear something like this it would get hooked on clothing and would get in the way everywhere and it also looks very heavy so would be hard to wear.This ring is clearly just for show and not to be worn.I don't think it is a good design.

Designs not related to jewellery

LIKE:


These chairs are really interesting.I like this design because it is unusual and the chair is almost an optical illusion that sucks you down it.It won the 2008 good design award so it must be a fairly stable design.These chairs look comfortable yet awesome at the same time!I would definately buy one!
They are called The Questionmark chair by Stefan Heilinger for Italian manufacturer Tonon & C


DISLIKE:
When Victoria and David Beckham lunched their new fragrance Beckham Signature for Him and Her she wore these rediculous shoes. 
These shoes are totally rediculo.I think they would be highly incomfortable and not stable at all...the fact that they are made from PVC plastic makes them even more unappealing.I think these shoes are not made for purpose but for show.(she is a celeb after all)






These shoes are also as distasteful as the last...i think these shoes would not be comfortable at all because they are way too high and even though they have a support structure they are not ment for the average evening out.only for show.






Jewellery Designs

LIKE:


I love these earings...i am a real sucker for dots and circles and anything round.Another reason i love these earings so much is because the designer incorperated shells into the design.The fact that the shells have a spiral shape to them make these earings very appealing to the eye.I like jewellery that is simple and natural and this encorperates both those elements perfectly.

DISLIKE:



When i first saw this i didnt know how to react...it was sort of funny but terrifying at the same time...wow some designers have really weird and wonderful ideas.Every girl loves Barbie...i loved barbie and to see how this designer cut her up to make jewellery its quite disturbing.Poor Barbie. I would NEVER EVER wear these!!

Artist Statement

Jewellery has been my passion ever since I was a child. From buying it to making it with beads I absolutely can’t live without it. My jewellery is unique and has a very personal touch. I want every person who buys my jewellery to feel the meaning behind it and I want to create jewellery that reflects the person’s personal taste. I love being creative and I get my inspirations from nature and anything around me that is unusual and unique. Jewellery will always be my passion and I strive to make my jewellery as unique and meaningful as possible. Jewellery will always be a part of most people’s lives in one form or another you may not know it but I believe deep down everyone has a passion for jewellery.
