I was perusing the Penguin & Fish blog and came across this awesome jewelry crafted by Joanna Rutter. I am especially taken by the little birdie ring. So cute! If you want to check out her etsy shop, click here!
I’m in love with this graffitied cupboard from Love Anna James! The artist works from Southeast London, focusing on transforming old furniture into beautiful art. This piece is titled Verona, inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Check out Love Anna James for more info and images.

I discovered ruby’s lounge animal heads on etsy’s featured seller. Jennifer Khoshbin hand crafts these beautiful animal heads from resin and graphic wallpapers. See the whole series of Handmade Wilderness-The Paper Deer Head Project on her etsy shop and read the feature interview while it lasts!

Oh! i loved this post. You know i have discovered Ruby 2 years ago and i immediately bought the third on the list you have here. The pink and green and pale blue is a gorgeous head. I have placed it in my living room and it looks fabulous. I am in love with this piece. Imagine she posted right to Greece. I was waiting to have it for a whole month because of the distance, but it was worth it. Just found your blog, it is really special. Love from a Greek deco blogger. P.S. of course i will link back to you.

incredible artwork. I love all of it, esp. Orbit from Book Project 1 @ www.jenkhoshbin.com and the red cardinal deer head.
You’ve heard of guerrilla marketing; how about about guerrilla gardening? Richard Reynolds wants to teach you all about it in his new book. His motto: fight the filth with forks and flowers.
Check out the interview from The New York Times and watch a video where Reynolds teaches you how to make a seed bomb.

Many of you are probably already familiar with the work of photographer Henry Clarke, but I have been enjoying these photographs so much lately I wanted to share them with you! Born in 1918, Mr. Clarke worked under contract for French, American, and British Vogue from 1950 through the late 70′s, and is well known for his beautiful photographs of haute-couture. The pictures I’ve shown here are all from the 1950′s, a decade which he captured like no one else! He passed away in 1996, and left his archives to the Musee de la Mode et du Costume in Paris.

Thanks for sharing this.
Check out this video Coolhunting did profiling Philly artist Alex Da Corte. I love his ability to transform common objects into a something of meaning and the work often has a playfulness. Like press-on acrylic nails for example: they’re already pretty fun, but he’s used them to express the scales of a snake. Or beer pong as art? And it’s sparkly!
I love this painting by Joy Feasley. Doesn’t she look like she’s dressed in FP? Those are definitely our woolly mittens. The painting is called Midnight Sun. You can see Joy’s work in Philadelphia beginning this Friday. Here’s a bit from the press release:
“Locks Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Joy Feasley. The exhibition will be on view June 6 through July 12, 2008. There will be a reception for the artist on Friday, June 6, 2008, from 5:30 to 7:30pm.
For this exhibition, Feasley has continued to create the work for which she is known – paintings that integrate landscape, abstraction, pattern and decoration, folk art and figurative imagery. Feasley uses a bold and flat color palate to help define her intimately-scaled paintings. Her paintings suggests the landscape experienced outide cities – remote forests and mountaintops. The works also retain a sense of place, at times referencing the Hudson River School, and on occasion reflecting actual locations such her home in Philadelphia, or scenic California, where she often takes residency to paint.”

I love this painting!
Sculptors Dan Havel and Dean Ruck created this trippy and incredible tunnel in a house that was on the way to being demolished. You can read about more about it and see more pics at Designverb.

question referring to the names of several of your clothing items: WHO IS BENJI?
Check out these awesome shadow puppet cards our wovens design assistant Jessica got from Optical Toys, which specializes in pre- and proto-cinematic toys, paper toys, and simply cool old-time toys. I checked out their site and saw a lot of interesting finds! These particular cards were reflected from the original cards made in 1890, and show you how to make different shadow animals!
I spotted this on Creative Review. Artist Benjamin Verdonck built a nest from tree branches, glue, foam, sand and a bucket of spit(?) and perched it on the side of this office tower in Rotterdam. He’s lived in the nest for 7 days. Check out the below video to see his antics and how the public reacted.
You can see more here.

Yep, spit. Swallows use spit and regurgitated food to build their nests. Cool pics!
I just wanted to give everyone in the Philadelphia area a heads-up about the Art Star Craft Bazaar taking place this Saturday and Sunday at Penn’s Landing! It should be a blast, and have tons of awesome stuff! Bands too! Check out more info about it at Art Star’s site!
