A Wonderful Work Of Fantasy. The House For Essex...

Plans of The House For Essex, a holiday house designed  by British artist Grayson Perry and the London architect FAT for Alain de Botton's Living Architecture Project on the East Coast of England were first unveiled in 2012.
The scaffolding has recently come down and the wonderfully imaginative house clad with more than two thousand bespoke tiles and copper panels are now revealed.
The exterior of the house responds to the romantic landscape of the Stour Estuary in Essex and was inspired by the eccentric houses of England, fairy tales and pilgrimage chapels dotted across the land.
The interior of the house, due to be completed late this year will feature tapestries, mosaic floors and ornamental pots befitting this wonderful work of fantasy.
One that I'm sure we'll re-visit...

Artist's Gypsy Wagon...

Wandering Book Artists Peter and Donna are from Northern California and travel the US in their wonderfully whimsical sixteen foot gypsy wagon.
They've been together since 1976 when they were craftspeople working at Renaissance Fairs.
Making paper, doing letterpress printing, bookbinding and creating beautiful unique books affords them a good life on the road.
They love living in their small space,
to them it's a mixture of a boat and a caravan.
And, it's like living in a fairy tale...
