Paper sculptures by Rogan Brown

Rogan Brown‘s intricate paper sculptures are mind-blowing in their complexity, and really need to be seen up close to properly appreciate the incredible, obsessive level of detail. Inspired by the natural world & the patterns and repeated motifs that run through it, from microscopic cells to huge geological structures, he crafts beautiful three-dimensional forms from nothing but layer upon layer of delicately hand cut watercolour paper.

The sprawling organic pieces feel almost alive, with their vein like tendrils spilling out, digging their way into the backing & jagged contours seemingly eroded by time. They feel alien, and yet familiar at the same time, based in nature but allowed to evolve & grow over the course of their development into these intricate hybrid pieces.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity…and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of a man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.” – William Blake

My hair is getting to that point where it’s looking a bit scruffy on the ends & is in need of a good trim, but I keep putting it off because it’s finally at around that perfect length & I don’t want to loose an inch or so to tidy it up! If anyone has any tips or wonder products for dry, frazzled ends I’d appreciate any recommendations!

This necklace is the one I made myself when I went along to the Cinderela B workshop just before Christmas. I loved the idea of having a few layers in one necklace, making it easy to throw on in the morning & it doesn’t get all tangled up throughout the day either. At the time I chose this simple idea purely because I wasn’t confident I’d be able to do anything more complicated & I hate doing fiddly tasks, but I’m glad I took the easy option, because I’ve gotten so much wear out of it already & that’s always the case with simple, basic pieces for me. If I’d made something more complicated, I know it would still be sitting in it’s pouch waiting for an occasion to wear it.

Remember my outfit from a few weeks ago when I got all excited about the fact the Meltin’ Pot jeans I was wearing were reversible? Well, this is the inside of them! Plain black & unassuming on the outside, but turn them inside out & it’s a completely different story. A lot of the other pairs available have a much more dramatic reverse, but I love that the print on these is quite subtle, letting them slot effortlessly into my wardrobe & I would wear them equally as much this way as I would the plain black side. As I mentioned before, the craftsmanship is beautiful & there is absolutely nothing to suggest that this side is technically the wrong side. They are a premium, well crafted pair of jeans which ever way you wear them, truly reversible & I think that’s quite an achievement.

The fedora is still permanently fixed to my head, it just seems to give every outfit a little extra something when I put it on, it seems to finish it off – the cherry on top, if you will & it’s a little addictive. I know a few of you asked about it last time I wore it, and they were totally sold out, but it is now back in stock & in a few different colours too – here! I’m quite tempted by the grey & the burgundy versions.

One of my favourite things to do when I’m bored is browse Etsy for jewellery, homewear & other random things. This perfect little obsidian arrowhead necklace is my latest favourite find, perfectly simple & feels like it has a bit of history too. I’ve been wearing it layered up with my lion claw necklace a lot, and now I’m craving more similar pieces so I can hang a huge cluster of claws, teeth, rocks & crystals around my neck. The one downside is that it’s incredibly sharp, so I’ve had to be careful not to wear it over any delicate fabrics. I must admit though, it does make me feel quite a bit safer wearing it whilst walking Nico alone at night!
