I absolutely love this brooch by Marta Mattsson. The materials used to make it comprise of a beetle, resin, yellow cubic zirconias and silver. I enjoy the way the colors just seem to compliment and blend with each other..I am not usually a fan of creepy crawly things and to me the beetle falls in this category but  the resin around it just seems to augment it.  The silver gives a nice contrast to the warm colors. I found this at www.klimt02

Dislike:

I find this ring rather repulsive. The bird's head is rather big and the  coloring of the ring is too dark for my liking and the way the eye sticks out gives it a rather sinister feel. I do appreciate that it must have taken some level of skill to make the such an accurate representation of this particular bird. I  found this image here

 talk about a nice welcome...a handshake even  before you open the door.. I like this design because of the humor behind it..and that its not your typical doorknob. It might be just a little ridiculous really but we all need a bit of silliness here and there.. :) I found this image here

Dislike:

I  do not like this design. I get a feel of eeriness, this is mainly caused by the choice of coluors for the room and some of the items used to design it like the smoke, the picture on the wall that looks like a dragon's lair..Its too cheerless and dark for me. I appreciate though that it took some creativity to create this look and someone who is more inclined to a Gothic look would appreciate it. Not for me though. i found this image here.
