An image from an installation in Paris’ centquatre entitled “Wastelandscape”. The undulating dunes are covered in 65,000 discarded CDs hand-sewn together…

My sister-in-law shared a site of photographs of dogs taken while they’re shaking off water. Good for a giggle!

I am fascinated by terrariums! Especially the (relatively) new trend to make them tiiiiiny. I have even seen tiny succulent necklaces. Wild!

The book Terrarium Craft (Timber Press) looks to be full of some great photos and some great ideas about the wonderful world of terrarium gardening!

10 year-old C.J. Senter’s workout DVD is so popular that his father had to hire a PR agent, but C.J. would still rather give the vids away to other kids. For him, it’s not about money, it’s just about getting other boys and girls off of the couch.

I just need a little bit of this kid’s motivation! How inspiring.

clientsfromhell:

Client: I want a design that uses a rainbow, but not one of those gay rainbows.

Me: Excuse me?

Client: I want you to put a rainbow on it, but like a Jesus rainbow.

Me: Can you… specify the difference?

Client: I WANT IT TO BE A RAINBOW BUT NOT GAY.

Purls before swine?

I love miniature things as much as the next girl, (I have a secret desire to build, furnish, and decorate a dollhouse and YES I’M 30 SHUT UP) but this blows my mind!

Mochimochi Land is a magical place full of kawaii knitted wonders, and these two years’ worth of tiny creations is no exception to the rule!

I love the look of this recycled bottlecap flower! And any excuse to re-use & re-purpose materials is a good one! Guess I’ll just have to pick up some beer for “crafting” purposes!

“To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.”
- introduction to Songs of Innocence | William Blake

Have you ever really looked at sand?
Gary Greenberg has photographed grains of sand from around the world at such a magnified resolution as to reveal their individual beauties. How wonderful for something so seemingly common to be proven so wonderfully complex!

These paper sculptures by Zim & Zou trigger my nostalgia in a bad way, but their palate is so zany, it’s like I’m seeing these artifacts for the first time!
