all the small things.





Small Things Design was founded by Teresa Robinson in Portland in 2002. With an eye for detail and talent for design, Teresa carefully crafts each piece of jewelry by hand. Meticulous, yet beautiful!

Check out Teresa’s work here [I LOOOVE the cute little reading glasses ring!].


out of the box: rest in pieces.


I LOVE this project. 24-year-old Nadine Jarvis sought out to revamp [literally] the grieving process. Through design, of course. Her words:

“I have been designing urns that lengthen death ceremony to give more time to come to terms with loss. My motivation for this project was my interest in the death and decomposition of materials and how the degradation of materials could be used to aid the grieving process.”

Check out this somewhat morbid piece here. A ceramic urn with a lifespan of 1-3 years. The thread gradually degrades causing the urn to drop, and smash as it hits the ground.


who’s who: rod hunting.


Love this guy. Silkscreener, designer, photographer? All wrapped up in one fantastic package of a man. Check out his work here, and don’t miss his fabulous Polareds collection.

Beautiful.

who’s who: jen stark.





I’ve been following Jen Stark for a bit now, and am so so pleased that her work is being featured at Chicago’s Heaven Gallery [go now, until Oct 7th!].

Her paper creations are unreal. And yes, it’s paper. Construction paper, to be exact. See? Unreal!

Best wishes, Jen!

three potato four.





I’m crazy about old vintage signs, and even crazier about these two from Three Potato Four, available here.


john derian.






It’s true, I’m a closet fan of John Derian. Ok, not really even a closet fan, b/c I own seven of his trays. But honestly? Mr. Derian alone would cause me to sell my L.A. house and move to a shotty NYC apartment, just so I could shop in his Sixth Ave. store.

Love this stuff. Check out his decoupage work here.


every man jack of all trades.


I’m with Dieline in that Every Man Jack has some pretty fabulous packaging. See for yourself over at Target!



escama.

Speaking of Coca-Cola, my friends over at Escama have just released their new chain bracelet, made entirely from Coca-Cola tabs.

Loving this, but the comfort level? Eh.

If you’re not into jewelry, check out this cosmetic bag, hand-crocheted from recycled aluminum pull tabs and produced by a women’s cooperative in Brazil.

[thanks, Escama!]
