Lighting the forest

Here are some inspirational images I found of the beautiful work of the UK based interior stylist Laura Fulmine. 

The lights almost look like they are extensions growing from the forest itself. Its as if they have been dumped in the forest and they have come to life.

They remind me of the work of, one of my favorite UK fashion photographers, Tim Walker (below)

Also found this work by Rune Guneriussen (below) who is a Norwegian artist who works on a transition between installations and photography 

Some inspirations of the day

Fake pool

I'nitially conceived of 12 years ago, the 'fake' swimming pool by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich, known for his illusion-like installations, has been featured at various museums around the world. In 2001, it was featured at the 49th Venice Biennale in Arentina. In 2004, it found a permanent home at the 21st Century Art Museum in Kanazawa, Japan. In 2008, the fake pool was set up for a 2 year installation at MoMA's PS1 Contemporary Art Center. And as of December 2010, the pool was being installed in the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia.'

Painting the streets of Berlin

'Last year, pranksters led by Dutch performance artist Iepe B.T. Rubingh road their bicycles into a crowded intersection in Berlin and unloaded 500 liters of brightly-colored paint onto the concrete, effectively turning passing cars, buses and bikes into unwitting paintbrushes (as well as accomplices). Entitled “Painting Reality,” the video above showcases the beginning of this self-proclaimed case of guerilla street art as well as the final result created by the color-injected traffic.'

Farm Fashion

I'm a country girl and this year I helped show my family sheep at the Vale show in Wales near where my parents live. I love heading home and what I noticed the most was the naturally chic farm/countryside fashion that so many big fashion labels and high street retailers have got influence from and have strived to recreate for this season. Most of the people here aren't even trying to be fashionable at all its just part of who they are and the lives they lead. 

Even the sheep are fashionable! 

The cows were treated to a nice blow dry

There were some rather attractive farm boys there showing their very pretty cows. I really liked their style. They wore smart white shirts and trousers with brown belts, a tie and causal, hardy brown lace up boots.

I loved this guys hat and co-ordinated shirt and jumper

The patterned cardigan, brown tie and corduroy trousers with matching hat looked pretty great together

Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee and my good old red Hunter wellies

I love this book, I'm reading it at the moment and its bringing back childhood memories. The descriptions are beautiful. My family said the cover illustration reminds them of me.

This is real country chic

These waterproof hats with feathers are everywhere right now but have been part of country fashion for decades

Thought this duck looked pretty fashionable

I really love big jumpers and this red one is just the kind i go for. Check out those cabbages! 

Really like this. New use for my Hunters? 

Creating my photography logo

I've been messing around making a logo for my photography. I wanted something that represents me and my personality so i thought of my love of nature and the countryside and what I enjoy photographing and came up with this. its nowhere near finished...

Homemade tipi!

I made this tipi when cutting poplar trees that had fallen down in the wind. I saw how straight and strong the wood was and interlocked three of the trees and tied them together to make the structure. I then got some pretty throws and scarves and tied them all around. I added fairy lights and lanterns to light it up at night.
