Urban Greening : The Royal Creature

The Royal Creature is a collection of eccentric and adorably detailed art objects and renders from artists Delaney Jane Larson and Matthew Tellier. The work is absolutely original and appears to be inspired from the faces of playing cards. Ms. Larson was a delight to speak with and offered us tea when we visited during a recent open studio tour of their loft in Bronx. We left with a marvelously illustrated greeting card and took these wonderful snapshots we would like to share of the little curio planters they design. These planters shown come with a seperate drainage dish created for them.

The whimsy of the objects is what is inspireing. The work has sort of a "Alice in Wonderland" meets "Where The Wild Things Are" appeal. The great thing is that it is so collectable - the figures and drawings are unique - but have a strong design motif that is easily recognizable. Hollywood cool hunters should take note becasue The Royal Creatures are destined for greatness!

Between us we now have dozens of backyards! Michelle has always been interested in botany, so of course she started the obsession. She found a cruet jar in her kitchen that she said was destined to become a terrarium. Katy soon followed suit and found a cute little mushroom-shaped jar. We both instantly
