A pinch of grass!


I have a very strange obsession with large pegs! I have several wall mounted ones that I can use to pin up ideas and inspiration on a daily basis. One of my favourites that I have is a bright red one from Pottery Barn, which later on got duplicated by Indigo.

So when I came across this photograph of an art installation in the  Chaudfontaine park in Belgium by Uysal Mehmel Ali, you can imagine my excitement.

Photography down to string!

Hung Sungchul a South Korean artist creates these ghostly three dimensional photographs entirely made of string. Each piece is the combination of hundreds of elastic strings that have been printed on with sections of a photograph.

His work is stunning to say the least, as it entices the viewer to use their whole body to interact with each piece, and not just their eyes alone.

I  would certainty love to see these pieces in real life so I can personally interact with his work and see the full depth and dimensions.

Is It An Area Rug?—Art by Heike Weber

Here is a delicate flora and fauna area rug, Is it perfect for your house?

Well only if you don’t mind having a rug made out of hand squeezed silicone goo by Heike Weber.

She uses strategically flung out lines and hand-rendered plans to make her vision come to life, which enables each piece to invade the vast space and create this unimaginable force.

Spirograph Jewelry

I used to love playing with spirographs when I was younger, using different colors and different shapes on top of one and other. So imaging how ecstatic I was when I came across these designs by Miette.

Miette creates beautiful delicate Spirographic jewelry that reminds me on my childhood. The pieces are very unique and can stand alone as a sculptural object.

The Eco Business Card


If you think about it, the business cards that we handout on a daily basis is highly damaging to the environment. They are usually made out of paper and have chemicals on it from the printing, which is hard to break down.

The solution! up-cycling old cigarette packs, napkins, and paper cartons.

I just love this solution, it makes use of scrap papers and card that would otherwise be thrown into the trash or recycling.
