I was just watching a program about Darwin and his theories and as it turns out, one of his biggest fans was Ernst Haeckel- an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species. I thought his name sounded familiar and of course- he wrote and illustrated the book- Art forms of nature. Here are a few examples of this genius' work. I love the bright colours with black backgrounds.
What an impressive blog- not only does it have great recipes but the photography is excellent. I love the close ups and detail shots of produce, flowers and table settings. Sunday Suppers is a cooking class taught by local chefs in Brooklyn, New York with food styling and Photography by Karen Mordechai.
Here are some more examples of needle felted animals, these characters by Jenn Docherty are amazing- I love her use of colour in their little outfits and the way they are styled is just too cool!
