Louise Bourgeois, what a woman! ‘Maman’

There are some artists that are OK or even great but Louise Bourgeois is out of this world! If i had the opportunity id love to fill the world with super sculpture, I think i would work in glass though, the bronze here looks amazing, I like the silhouette it creates cutting into the sky and background gives the area an atmosphere of really ominous tension, obviously playing to our daft human fears! But could you imagine how cool it would look in glass? It would be more true to a spiders personality, more quiet, sitting peacefully in its surroundings, more ethereal, softer and creepier, when we see them its usually an unexpected encounter.
I recently made a fun wallpaper design with cute spiders on it, i cant imagine everyone will want it pasted to their walls, but im sure it will be someones cup of tea! 
On the spidery subject, I have been looking for some nice summer jewelery, I really like Butler and Wilson’s big crysal spider brooch, hint to Hubby!

Very cool!
I love Butler and Wilson stuff, especially bags and I have stuff that I’ve bought over years as I used to work around the corner from the shop. I’m not sure about the spider brooch, but I do have serpent bracelets in crystal that you might like…

Oooh i sooooo want one of those serpent bracelets, they sell knock offs on eBay, but that’s just not the same! LOL
The spider brooch will sit nicely on my red mirrored bag my Aunty Sue brought back from Pakistan for me ;0)
