Come Sail Away

It's hard to put into words the beauty of these paper mache boats from artist Ann Wood. They range from being a little spooky to a lot sweet and are all utterly enchanting. Her captures of them only add to the magic.

Aren't they gorgeous? You can't help but imagine yourself sailing into a sunset in one of these creations. What would you take with you? I'd take peanut butter and my collection of Blueprint magazines and my iPod. Oh, and probably all of you that would fit. Let's all take a break and dream of running away from it all shall we? Close your eyes...

Of course, if my house/office/studio looked like Ms. Wood's, I'd feel like I had already escaped the everyday. It's certainly charming and inspiring. These images are from a teeny interview she gave at design*sponge.

She was clearly destined to create the magic she does. Her site also shows her amazing birds and other little things she's made. She even has a tutorial on how-to make your own paper mache sail boat. Rainy day project anyone?
