I am fascinated by fairytales and the dark themes embedded within them. I guess you could say I have a twisted side to me that not everyone sees on a day-to-day basis. And that is why these eerily beautiful paper dolls and artwork by Amy Earles really got me excited. This set on the left below was actually a commissioned anniversary gift. How clever and unique! I love personal gifts that reflect the receiver or the relationship you have with them. I think a paper doll set makes a special wedding or anniversary gift.

Her illustrations are amazing too! You can check them out at her Flickr stream or at her blog.
