Taxidermy and Textures

A very inspiring day at Oxford Museum of Natural History looking at perfectly poised skeleton specimens, mineralogy and various displays of beautiful insects.

When I walk around a museum I can only wonder how exciting it must have been to be the curator; getting a close look at the specimens, deciding which displays go together and how to overall museum will flow.

My favourite photos of the day:

Delicate spirals

Preserved beauty

Under the Sea

Payday has just come and at the moment there are some lovely treasures you can buy which have taken ideas from sea life and underwater creatures.

First on my wish list are shell lip balms which are 100% organic and are inside real seashells. It also comes with a compact mirror, what more could a girl want?

What better way to accessorise and be beautiful than with items inspired by nature.
