Featured here are original, handmade, brilliantly bizarre homeware pieces by Alaska based INAEENT. There's bear paw saucers, candle holders decked with claws and jawbones on wheels...it's like Dr Seuss has been reincarnated in the form of multiple pieces of pottery.
The Society of Strays are all about scavenging and scrounging, then creating hugely impressionable works with what they find. Their creations are statement pieces, jewellery you simply can't ignore. (They do have other works in their store, so be sure to take a look.) The animals once cradled by the bones and skulls you see here… Continue reading The Society Of Strays

You know when you find something I get so excited that you want the rest of the world to see… Continue reading Wood Splitter Lee
I would wear hoof heels so bad right now...Hoof heels are what I've been waiting for my entire life. The creator of these sexy, darkly fantastic soles is Oonacat. I have to say I was pretty much devastated when I discovered that she's put creating the hooves on hold for now. She is creating horns… Continue reading Oonacat
My head has been too busy recently, and sleep is something I'm not too familiar with, so I slipped in love with these double sided throw pillow covers from Belles & Ghosts. Designed with a soothing, chalk grey fabric and smatterings of stars, they're easy and gentle on the senses. … Continue reading Bring The Stars Back With You
