I’m assuming this key by E.Smith is decorative (the leather would get scratched in the keyhole, right?)… but I’m a fan regardless.
Every new year, Design Within Reach has a Champagne Chair Competition, asking designers to make miniature chairs out of the materials on a champagne bottle. Cute little idea! And many of the submissions this year were really lovely. We at Soren Rose Studio learned about it too late this time ‘round, but will definitely participate next year.
These photos of the work-in-progress that is the MTA’s East Side Access project are off the hook. It’s somehow alluring to get a glimpse of New York City’s bedrock underworld, no?
Also incredible is the fact that it’s cheaper to keep the 200-ton drills down there when they’re done. When we’ve all destroyed the planet and alien paleontologists are excavating earth, maybe these will be their version dinosaur fossils…
My brother got married on September 22, and I made this card the night before. Unfortunately for them I’m a bad sister and didn’t get them a gift until 2013, but now that I have I can post this.
I found this beautiful peacock feather paper at Paper Presentation, and thought it was appropriate for the ‘uncorny’ hearts. I stitched on the other stationary with gold rafia so I had a surface to write on.
Card-making is big in my family, and it has been a fixture in my life I’ve cherished from both the giving and receiving perspectives. I’m always experimenting with calligraphies and designs, and having a nuclear family wedding is a great excuse to put extra time into it.
Love, Eva
Irving Harper’s Works in Paper is about and splashing, and his creations are stunning as ever. Meanwhile, I discovered these truly spectacular jungle creatures constructed by Zim&Zou with Hermes leather. The stars are aligning in my little world and I’m left SWOONING, I tell you…
I discovered a pretty fabulous Swedish site today, called Retro. Their web design is pretty low tech and unspectacular, but their products are where it’s at. Adoring these lamps, for example…
Sakir Gökcebag is a Turkish artist based in Germany. The forms created by his installation with toilet paper are simple, elegant, surprising.
