Inspired by Su Blackwell

I have seen book sculptures before and I have always thought they were so very magical, but I've never seen any like Su Blackwell's. She puts the magic into this art. I just discovered her works today and I am absolutely mesmerized. There is even lighting and suspended miscellanies from birds to miniature books! 

Words that come to mind when I see her work... 

haunting

 fairytale, 

fragile, 

ethereal, 

fantasy,

surreal,

 childhood, 

dreams. 

It all brings me back to my childhood, really. I've been obsessed with fairytales, fantasy worlds, and reading since I can remember. It's all kind of nostalgic, in a sense.

I can't imagine creating another world with such delicate materials... to have the patience, the insight, to even know where to begin. But boy, am I inspired. I would fill my house to the brim with these wonders.
