2019 Topic 19: Cute Critters Well hello everyone, Keren here with a new topic involving critters and CUTE! Yes, you read that right...we haven't taken leave of our senses, this is 'cute', the PaperArtsy way! Think quirky, funny with a whole dash of cuteness thrown in. Cute and artsy can coexist in the same universe! Strictly speaking, I might just be stretching the definition of cute as far is as humanly possible! So here's the intro post to get you inspired with the possibilities of 'cute critters' and Chris Dark is kicking us off with a gorgeously detailed mini work of art making a Zini just shine! Love his expression! PaperArtsy Blog - Chris Dark Edging towards the kooky side of cute is this gorgeous pair of textile twins. The patches and different sized stitching give character and life and I think they're really mesmerising. Karna Karna Designs The next artist adds the cute-factor with pretty eyes and elongated bodies. The subtle palette adds to the dreamy effect. Willowing Arts This lovely fluffy sheep is a beautiful watercolour piece and is wonderful mix of artistic and sweet. Source Cute doesn't need to be pink and pretty, this duo look like they've been carved! The swirling sinewy lines give softness and appeal. Justin Hilgrove Cuteness is obviously in the eye of the beholder, and I do adore this 'A Deer Couple' created from polymer and acrylic paint. There is something so soulful and loving in their expressions; quite magnificent considering they're just models. Tanya Marriott The next example is really a stretch for this category- but the twinkle in her eye really grabbed me. She has an elegant cuteness...or am I going too far?! I love the combination of a classic painting, human body and animal head. Perhaps you might try your own Frankenstein-esque combos! Aimee Marie This next example is simply for inspiration. It's critters, not so much cute ones, but universally adored even so. Love the patterning and if anyone's got the time to stamp me a pair of cute critter tights, I'd be very grateful ;-) Modcloth This next piece of inspiration had me wondering whether it was little humans dressed as critters or critters with humanoid features? Either way they're pretty stinking cute! Ceramic Snippets Our next artist is well known to us at PaperArtsy as she's been on the blog. I chose this image because I loved the sentiment and also because it has the cute factor but without the sickly bit! Corrie Herriman This artist is on my radar for originality. Her quirky is strong and her critters are certainly original. The link goes to a video where she shows how she puts them together. Crafty Hodges I wanted to add in an example of some PaperArtsy characters that I found scampering around the internet. Elena's Christmas characters look perfectly at home upon a giant bauble!. Emma Trenouth This arresting piece is some wonderful assemblage in someone's home. Apart from the imagery, I love the rhino who seems almost soft and cuddly against the hard images and the black and white lobster. eBay Simple is often best, and this CAS piece features one of Lin Brown's cute images. Craft E Place Onto something a little more artsy; this fun critter has so many layers and terrific details. I love the startled expression. Lost Coast Post If there's a cute specimen hanging around, Lauren Hatwell won't be far behind! This is just one of her examples with more Zinski loveliness. PaperArtsy Blog - Lauren Hatwell Sweet creatures and babies are the perfect combo. This lovely print would be perfect in any nursery. The wide-eyed rabbit is really rather enchanting. Harriet Bee Chameleons have enduring cuteness-power (think Disney's Tangled) but this stripey one has rather gorgeous patterning and even the spikes seem adorable. Anya Stasenko & Slava Leontiev Most things look cute in a spotted party hat, and this duck is no exception! Lidiya Marinchuk Felting can produce amazing detail. This fox rather took my breath away! Jo Gardiner Art Heading backwards to quirky cute, those birds never fail to make you smile! SSS This horse ( or is it a donkey) is resplendent with his knobbly knees and cute stripes. Love the black and white stripes and watercolour background. Deb Weiers Art Last, but by no means least is this wacky wonder sporting the best tie! Lots of colour and keeping the cute factor high. Jess Quinn I hope this has inspired to try cute, or at least quirky artsy cute! You're going to love the projects we have coming up for this topic. We are not doing the linked challenge for 2019, so if you want to create along with us and this topic, please share on our social feeds so we can see what you get up to. The best places are Instagram @paperartsy or post in PaperArtsy People Group on Facebook. Make sure you tag us in your contributions, we love to see what you get up to in your creative world!

My Modern Met features fifteen illustrations of Dettmer's bibliotransformations as well as an exclusive interview with seven more photos. Visit the website of Brian Dettmer to view additional work dating from 2005 to 2010. Recent press includes an article on The New Yorker's "Book Bench" titled Postmodern Deconstruction.

This shop and gallery is a modern-day cabinet of curiosities, unassumingly positioned along an urban thoroughfare.
In the 19th century, bodies (both human and animal) were hard to come by. So medical schools ditched dissections and taught their students using remarkably odd objects like waxwork embroyos and exploded skulls• Warning: not for the squeamish

Thank you CaveMansDigs Taxidermy studio Taxidermy disclaimer All animal parts were treated in accordance with standard taxidermy procedures Tissue samples in 8 % Formaldehyde for at least 48 hours, and then transferred to 95% alcohol solution Bones boiled (100 Degrees Celsius) for at least 30 minutes and bleached Skins and paws salted for at least 28 days with sea salt containing 2% washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) and then soaked with agitation, in a 4%(w/v) solution of washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) maintained at pH 11.5 or above for at least 48 hours Wet samples care instructions All wet samples slowly change with time, tissues became harder and lighter/darker in color. Preserving liquid (in my store it is always alcohol) darkens and evaporates. It is natural and unavoidable process. There are no health hazards related to alcohol. If your specimen is sealed with cork and wax, evaporation will be slower, but you would need to break the seal to replenish alcohol when the levels gets too low (it usually takes long time, but depends on the storing conditions). If you received your specimen unsealed due to the shipping restrictions, you need to fill the jar or the vial with any available alcohol with concentration equal or higher than 70%. Alcohol (isopropyl, ethanol) is easily available in any drugstore or online. If with time your preserving liquid loses transparency you can simply change it. Do not store your specimens in direct sun light or in the room with the temperature higher than 30 Celsius. Store them far away from the open fire source Colder conditions are preferable Please, do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions
A wonderful new book to own and/or gift on the celebrated Paris destination of Deyrolle where art meets nature and science.
In Material Earth II, a group show that just opened at Messums Wiltshire, artists explore how materials can be used to morph the meaning of traditional narratives—particularly in the context of Northern European myths and fairytales. In a statement on the show, Messums describes the exhibition as “an ode to all those that are magical, fantastical and ever-changing.” Artists include Livia Marin, Ann Carrington, Bouke de Vries, and Jessica Harrison.

I spent a whole day working on this composition, working from my vast library of images of my collections, mixed with some pictures collected on the Internet, and am pretty happy with the result. Once upon a time, when I had boundless energy, and still had hopes of recognition as a painter, I would have made it into a painting, which probably would have taken me months to complete, and would most likely be in my collection...Just too weird to sell, there are not enough weirdos with money out there to buy my work! Plus I have become lazy, and spending months pushing a paint brush to more or less reproduce this image does not seem worthwhile anymore... I am digressing... Anyhow,the composition was built in Photoshop using png files, and each object is on a separate layer, so the whole thing can be opened in After Effects, and the objects animated individually. I can think of a number of things to do: start with empty shelves , and either have the objects appear magically and fall in place, may be even jumping from one slot to another. Or the mechanical hand could move them. We could have a "Nutcracker" kind of sequence where they come alive at night, move, turn and talk. That would probably require some stop motion animation for some of them, or at least using the puppet tool.
In a span of more than 350 pages, Italian photographer Massimo Listri captures some of the most wondrous and bizarre collections gathered throughout history. Cabinet of Curiosities, a new XXL edition from Taschen, is comprised of countless artifacts from the Renaissance to modern-day. Including massive fossils, excavated coral growths, and impeccably preserved sculptures, Listri’s photographs capture treasures of natural history, art, astrology, biology, and design. Many of the eccentric collections were maintained formerly by aristocrats, such as Grand Duke Francesco I de’ Medici, Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, and Archduke Ferdinand II of Habsburg. More
