Ingela P Arrhenius nesting circus dolls

Ingela-arrhenius-nesting-circus-dolls
We've previously shown you the retro-style artwork of Ingela P Arrhenius and here, with this set of nesting circus dolls, her colourful designs are translated into 3D.

The set is a new take on Russian nesting dolls with five figures that each fit inside each other. The difference here is that they're all based on circus characters – including the lion tamer, the lion and the clown – from one of her prints. Made from wood, the resulting toy has a very traditional feel and is almost too nice to hand over to the kids. 

Each set costs £18.95.

Daniel Heath’s Circus baubles

Daniel heath bauble

You may remember Daniel Heath's High Wire wallpaper, a whimsical slice of Victoriana based around life in the Big Top. Well, for an alternative look for your Christmas tree, you may want to invest in these circus baubles. They are made from wood that has been screen-printed with some of his imagery of animals flying through rings of fire and acrobats performing feats of daring. Each bauble is hung on copper wire. 

These baubles are just a selection available from the Shop Floor Project's Bauble exhibition, a selection of unusual and beautifully crafted objects for bedecking your tree with. The beauty and the craftsmanship comes at a price however: these baubles cost £28 each.
