I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN

Dainty & Exotic Butterfly Accessories by Derya Aksoy

Istanbul-based artist Derya Aksoy created stunning, ethereal jewellery based on the beauty of winged insects, particularly butterflies, moths and dragon flies. Featuring a range of colorful and exotic butterflies, they wrapped beautifully around the neck. The thin fabric construction gives the illusion that that the butterflies are fluttering and resting on the skin.

Composed of brass-colored and antiquated chains, each piece is made by transferring real butterflies and moth wings images onto organza fabric, then they are cut and choreograph to resemble a cluster of stunning life-like insects.

Aksoy’s quixotic and feminine creations beautifully complement the colors, textures and shape of each insect. The necklaces remind us of dainty creations fit for a fairy queen.  You can find her entire collection in her Etsy shop.

Surrealist Garden Las Pozas in México

“Magic happens at Las Pozas. Just like in work by Salvador Dalí, at Las Pozas art portrays one thing as another, invents a reality put in place of conventional, official, socially acceptable reality. More than painting a picture or sculpting an object, they produced an atmosphere, a privileged place.” ~ Irene Herner

Nestled in the thick jungles of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, Edward James discovered the perfect setting for staging his life’s masterpiece. A surrealist labyrinth unfolds amid waterfalls and ponds—natural and man-made—that prepare the mind for immersion into a dream world. With buildings that evoke nonsense, doors leading nowhere, stairways to the sky and concrete flowers that sprout beside real ones, one man’s dreams are realized and reality is displaced by fantasy.
