Monday Moodboard-Inspiring me this week : 10.10.11

This week's moodboard includes celebrity match-books and real life paintings.

1. Your House is Burning, What Do You Take?
This is a very intriguing project called the 'Burning House' project, wherein various people are asked to say what they would take if they had to escape their houses due to a fire. The results are very interesting, with objects ranging from the practical to the sentimental, including pets, ipads, photos and sketchbooks.
