These ethereal pieces by Dan-ah Kim are too much! I just love the unworldly feeling of them, and the use of textures and sewing with the paint. Gorgeous! Check out My Love For You’s post about her to see a cool music video she worked on as well.
fruit juice
Can you believe this juice box packaging by Naoto Fukasawa? I love it! I’m not sure they’d be easy to mass produce, but I would love to hold one just to see what it feels like! Especially the strawberry one…

Have you guys seen this awesome bandanna from Handoverfist? I want one! There’s also a bear/bunny bandanna if that’s more your style. Sweet!

egg carton lights
Do you like these pretty lights? They’re made from egg cartons! Apartment Therapy has some tips for making your own set. They would be perfect for an evening on the porch in the summertime, don’t you think?
apple cozy
While I personally am not ready to drop 20$ for one of these little apple cozies, I do think they are a really cute and cool idea! No more bruises, I suppose. I love the leaf embellishment also!

congolese hairstyles
This video is just beautiful; it features stunning photos of Congolese women by photographer Finbarr O’Reilly. There are also a few words about their distinctive hairstyles. It’s interesting to see a little something about the women of Congo, since usually one only hears of the violence there.

DIY jacket & other thoughts
I love this DIY jacket idea from BleachBlack! I like the grunge feel, and there are so many possibilities for making it to have your own unique flavor! Awesome!
Also, have you guys seen these house shoes from elephant and chickpea that they featured on Bloesem?
Ah! Love! I just wonder how sturdy the soles actually are, because I’d like to wear a pair out and about! They’re too cute to just wear at home!
colored smoke
These pictures take me to another place! They’re from a neat little set from HELMO called Colored Smoke. See more here.

might be better than fireworks…
Dressed in sheepskin coats and hats, locals in Nuanquan China celebrate the Lantern Festival each year by flinging molten iron at a wall to create beautiful showers of sparks. The tradition reportedly started 4 or 500 years ago when a blacksmith was too poor to buy fireworks to celebrate the festival. A little dangerous, but so so beautiful! Check it out!

early emoticons?
I came across these on Made you Look. Neat, right? I can’t decide if I think they are legitimately from the 70’s or not. Perhaps! Either way, I like them, and that they’re “films.” A tiny drop more of information at Made You Look.
