Spirited Away

Spirited Away… one of my all-time favourite movies - and I sat entranced last night watching it again. I remember when I was younger, after reading a book or seeing a movie that had a particularly impressive effect on me, I would draw the characters and scenes from the story, either how I imagined them to look or as best I could remember. It would allow me to relive the stories and almost become a part of them. Sometimes I still get that feeling of wanting to be inside the story, or the creation of it.

Here are some amazing creations inspired by Spirited Away:

No Face - possibly my favourite character. For sale on e-bay by cute art

Various Spirits who visit the Bath House. Apparently this set is “long sold out”

I must admit, I didn’t see this one coming… so cool, by Anna the red, an expert kyaraben bento-ist, an art I was entirely unaware of.

A tiny felted bath house by Rita Pizza

And the cutest little soot-sprite! By Ruby Misted Eyes

I imagine I must have some dust-sprites living under my bed, who look exactly the same except they’re grey.

And finally, because who could resisit this fabulosity, a paper assembly of Howl’s Moving Castle, from the movie by the same genius that is Hayao Miyazaki (not to mention the original fabulous author of the book - Dianna Wynne Jones)
