Guillermo del Toro's horror memorabilia to go on display at LACMA

Guillermo del Toro has amassed a vast collection of creepy art over the years. Now, he intends to share them with fans in a new exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which will run from July 31 to November 27.

Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters will feature his personal collection of oddities, eccentricities, and just plain gross items. After its stint at LACMA, the exhibit will move on to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Art Gallery of Ontario. For now, watch the visionary filmmaker take you on a tour of his Bleak House in the video below.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable.
