Lara Swift

I'm reminded of the legendary Sibyls, prophetesses of old antiquity, most reknown from Delphi.  With diaphonous textures, fluid forms and feminine beauty, Lara Swift's images conjure up mythological and mystical worlds in heaping portions. Soft and sensual images that seem to celebrate the female form, leap off the page like Bottecelli's Venus de Milo, or the Three Muses, her work is definitely not to be missed.

Violet Darkling

Dear Violet Darkling,

It's not enough that you make exquisite jewelry that conjures up something between the darkly fantastical and feminine, but you had to go and incorporate owls, spiders and other nocturnal fauna that make me swoon with WANT...no...LUST. The impishness of your skulls adorned with bows, pearls and jewels are something fit for a queen, stuck in some kind of Hades-Wonderland. I am beside myself with desire, oh dark one...If you could send me all of the above, stat, I will humbly lend you my soul for a day. (thanks to Ryan x Dagger Directory for the link)
