With Realistic Moving Joints

Ryan McElhinney claims to be an interior designer, but it’s pretty obvious that that’s a lie. The guy is a geek-crafter, through and through. He makes these awesome lamps by sticking action figures together and painting them – teamed with a simple shade they look brilliant. If you live in London you can see them live in the pubs Ryan has decorated; maybe you’ll bump into Elton John while you’re their – Ryan is rumoured to have designed the topper for his wedding cake (that’s gotta look awesome on his CV).

What are you doing still reading? It’s spring(ish) – there are car boot sales to raid – GO!

Star Wars Shadowbox

My friend Jenny Ryan of Exit Through the Thrift Shop just arranged this lovely Star Wars shadowbox for her craft room and snapped a photo – love the action figures lounging in front of the sweetly embroidered living room with the Home Sweet Home sampler over the fireplace!
