fabric art.

Oh, man. I want this piece in my home so badly! Made from fabric, ribbon, thread and floss!
Brilliant.

OK, whoa. I’m in total love with this. Space-saving and adorable? I’ll take it!

I’ve had this image bookmarked for oh, I don’t know… months, and I keep coming back to it for office inspiration. I love it for so many reasons (it’s busy, yet serene), but I’m most in love with the fact that there are at least 7 (count ‘em, 7!) different chairs in one room.
I’ve always been mildly obsessed with chairs, scooping them up from junkyard alleys for future projects (that somehow, I never get to!) and am surprised to see that the variety of chairs here fit so well together. It’s as if they’ve all come from very different backgrounds, but still manage to join each other daily for a quick mid-day spritzer in the library.
Inspiration, indeed.

Jamie made a screenprint with her losing lotto tickets, juxtaposed with the winning numbers. I’m in total love with the finished product.
Proof that losers are awesome.

Brian’s from Wisconsin, just moved to NYC and needs help finding the city gal of his dreams. Part social media experiment (you play the matchmaker!), part reality, his ’30 dates in 30 days’ project is all sorts of genius to me.
Good luck, Brian!

Mircea created a stunning sculpture using nothing more than soda cans, plexiglass and aluminum. Brilliant.

p.s. I had to seriously restrain myself from calling these “pop cans.” My Midwestern roots are shining through indeed!

Have you seen this lovely lighting? I may need to DIY it, but gracious. It’s GORGEOUS.
Anyone know where to score a similar one?

Bizarre! I wonder if it’s edible?
