Ach! More perfection in a pair of earrings. These particular beauties are by jewelry artist kristine bolhuis and I must admit they make my heart race a little quicker. They remind me of a drawing or a doodle, brought to life in 3 dimension. So very nice!
Crafting
kaptiza botanical.
Even though these wall stickers by kapitza are designed to be taken apart and reconfigured tastefully on your wall, they're also pretty terrific left on one sheet. I could imaging cropping out the info on the bottom, framing the sheet up in an affordable Ikea frame and voila, groovy silhouetted botanicals ready for display. Ah, it's nice to have options, don't you think?

serguei povaguin
Dear Shaded Viewers:
I fell in love with this rug the first time that I saw it. It reminds me of my grandmother' s house. Last week when I was talking with my friend Matteo he told me that he had taken some pictures in Serguei' s house, I asked him if could I post them here and he sent me these images. I think that Serguei made two or three rugs by hand, one for him and the rest for Rossana Orlandi,

(modern) folk
I love it when Rose and Radish announces their new show. It's always so fun to see the amazing selection they've rounded up. The new show, (Modern) Folk, just launched yesterday. The exhibit reflects a modern interpretation of age-old crafting techniques, and the selection is just gorgeous...

Conscious Forms Egg Acoustic Speaker

The Conscious Forms collection by Junior Phipps shows this British designer having fun at the intersection of form and function. Each of his light and speaker designs take on tactile and curvaceous forms, but these shapes also help them to function in flexible ways. Take the Egg Acoustic for example, which looks more like a Brancusi sculpture than a speaker. It's made from layers of plywood carved into a form that clearly wants to be handled and so it should be. The rotund base sits on a freestanding metal structure which allows the speaker to be tilted and faced in any direction. read more »
