children's drawings to toys
Children's drawings turned into soft toys, some of these are really creepy others turned out quite cute, a really good idea to materialise what a child sees things like.

Steampunk Insects
"Since the late 1990′s style steampunk is becoming more and more popular, and not only in the literature. Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by enthusiasts into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical “steampunk” style. And often this stylization gives very unexpected results. Like, for example, art works of american sculptor Mike Libby. His studio Insect Lab make robots from dried insects. Insects for his works come from around the world, from Africa, China, New Guinea, Brazil, Texas, etc. Each cog or gear wheel from antique pocketwatches and wristwatches are used as mechanical components. Each small robot from his collection is unique and costs a lot of money – price for the one robot ranges from $600 to $2500"
These steampunk mechanical insects are really amazing, made from real insects (dead obviously) and put together with tiny cogs and springs make these little things look like old fashioned robot bugs. so cool.
Emily Carew Woodard
I really love emily's illustrations, her character designs are full of personality and her images tell a story. the use of a muted colour palette in some of her work gives a warm vintage look that adds to the sense of an old fashioned fairy tale story with her characters.
