Curio: Letters from Oz

Alexa here. Jose's post on all the Oz films in the works reminded me of my art school days, where seemingly everyone felt the need to made something Ozian. So I was curious to see the latest creations from Oz by artists and crafters on the web.

Artists will never tire of Dorothy's technicolor ruby slippers. (Did you know that in Baum's book they were silver?) On top are modern yellow brick road images from Courtney Krishnamurthy and Boopsie Daisy; the tornado dream on the bottom is by Jaycee.


If you want your own pair of rubies, you can buy them in practically any size over at Princess Pumps.



Something to wear close to your heart: a tin man charm necklace from the mix shop.



Finally, as part of my ongoing quest for finger puppets, I have to mention this Oz set from Pintassilgo Prints. They're magnetic! Literally.
