I need one of these! Mangekyo means “kaleidoscope” in Japanese, and this one projects colored moving shapes and lines on your walls and ceiling! I love it! Get one here.

Remember Carrie’s cool time-lapse video from yesterday? She videotaped the lobby from down the hallway for quite a few hours to create a time-lapse view of the creation of our lobby garden!
However, leaving the camera recording the hallways for so long meant she caught some other interesting goings-on as well. You guys will love this clip of one of our production designers hamming it up! I wish I could dance like that…
These gorgeous prints are screen-printed on fabric by Mark Hearld. Too dreamy and soft! Check out this site for more.

I came across two really sweet stoppers for your drain today – I am not sure which one is cuter! I love them both!

For a very long time, we had a funny little patched round bench in the center of our lobby, with an umbrella over the top of it! At the end of last week though, we were all very interested to see a giant sea-green box sitting in the center of our lobby instead! You can see the lonely umbrella awaiting its fate in the background. (Don’t worry, its fate is probably just to get used somewhere else.)
We had an idea of what might be next when we noticed that they were filling the box with dirt! You can see I’ve been spotted by the cute dirt shovelers…
They came up with a better idea of how to move the dirt – a golf cart!
Next came the plants!
Wow! Look at that vibrant little garden! Practically a forest!
Ah! I love having this new green around! It’s soo relaxing! Now, what’s way cooler than the pictures I took is the video Carrie took! She set up a camera in the hallway and made a time-lapse video of everyone putting the garden together! It is really funny to watch it all sped up! Check it out!

What is the song playing in the background? I love it!
I love these shots from a set posted over on KnightCat. The layers and embellishments are fabulous! And the vests! Do any of you know what magazine these photos came from? Looks like maybe French Vogue, but I couldn’t say… See more pictures from the set on KnightCat!

Thanks for posting these photos Pruitt! Surely they are French Vogue as that is their font styling. Reminds me much of Isabel Marant's Spring (and fall, even) line. Have you see this? If not, enjoy.... bisous http://www.isabelmarant.tm.fr/

Those are some fabulous vests. That last vest is my favorite, not sure if it's just because it's Jacksonesk and I feel drawn to his style at the moment, but either way it looks great.
I’m really enjoying Erin Morrison‘s otherworldly mixed media pieces this morning. Just drop me off in one of those landscapes… I’ll spend Monday there!

these remind me of the artwork for silversun pickups cd's
Aren’t these embroideries pretty? I really really like them! I feel like I’ve never seen any needlework like that before! I would love to have a shirt or a dress with any of the above designs on it! They were all created by the talented Renilde Depeuter. Sweet!

Hey FP! I´m a frequent reader of your blog and I really like FP clothes! Too bad I can´t buy then in Estonia. Anyway, I really like the ethnic touch in your pieces and I wanted to tell you about Estonian national costumes, because they are really beautiful and colourful! Maybe you get some inspiration from them too. Here are some links to some great Estonian designers´ sites who have used our traditional patterns: http://www.lviira.com/index.php?id=38 and also if you google a guy called Aldo Jarvsoo you can find some pics about his national costumes inspired works... And the greatest display of our national costumes is coming this weekend, when we have our huge song festival with tens of thousands of singers and spectators! Here´s a clip from the last one, two years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8as6Q9pYmI (and a couple of years ago there was also an american documentary made, called "The Singing Revolution", if somebody is interested). Wish you all the best and greeting from Estonia where we are preparing our costumes for the festival once again :)!
I know this picture has already been making the rounds on lots of blogs lately, but it’s so cute I couldn’t resist posting it, just in case you hadn’t seen it! The photo is by David Sykes, who tells us about the photo on his site:
This latest piece of personal work is all shot in one shot on 5×4 transparency. I comissioned a model maker, Ridley West, to make a giant plate that we could attach to the wall, and with the help of Jennie Webster who sourced some amazing balloons, this shot was the result.
Those balloons really are amazing!

These sculptures totally amaze me! I wish I could touch one! They’re made of tussock grass, cordyline, and linen thread, by Australian artist Beth Hatton.

Brooklyn-based artist Steve Keene not only creates numerous paintings, but he also makes fabulous plywood sets and props! Recently he has collaborated with the Silver Jews, Pavement, The Apples in Stereo, Soul Coughing, Dave Matthews Band and Merzbow to create album art, video sets, stage sets and posters – so you can imagine our delight when he agreed to make the props for our latest site video! The video will be appearing on our main website on Monday, so make sure to tune in and watch for Steve’s props! Don’t miss it!
