White Out Birds

LOVE this commercial by UK based company Build, for White Out pens using the pens as an art tool! Check out the full length video of the process. (via richardalanroberts)

SideNotes

stuffed felt banner made for a recent party we had

bad weather (it rained for 3 days straight over the weekend), allergies, and scary tanking economies have led me to stay inside and get some work done!

I'm a Cuckoo

I'm a huge fan of Cuckoo clocks and have always wanted some elaborate Black Forest intricacy to put on my wall but after seeing these I might want something a little sleeker! All available at the Italian design store MomentoItalia.

We are Your Friends

Catalog for the designer Tina Haagensen by Oslo design group Your Friends. The pink and single bird image on a page are awesome... (via czina likes)

T-Birds

EZ over at Creature Comforts has made an awesome shirt featuring an original painting of hers with tea as the paint. Love the colors available...

Idiots

Dutch artist collective Idiots, who work with various taxidermy animals. Taxidermy itself confuses me a bit (esp the kind you find in basements of old men in the US haha). BUT, it appeals to me when done in such a way that it gives new life, as it were, and creates a new context to animals who were also very pretty when they were alive.

Yachts & Magpies

-The magpie now shares something in common with humans, chimps, & dolphins...
-Seagulls once again getting aggressive...
-I hadnt seen this commercial but seeing as Olympic fever has been going around it's very appropriate!

Been a busy week at work and now I'm glad it's over. I plan on relaxing and maybe some dancing as well. Been playing this Yacht track non-stop and I think it's a perfect/fun song to listen to during a summer weekend. They're from Portland, and the song is a little crazy, but indulge me haha. Have a good one!

Back to Reality

Well it's been a couple weeks! I came back from my Costa Rican vacation feeling refreshed after doing among other things

• rafting
• snorkeling
• and (highlight) seeing a giant leatherback turtle lay her eggs on the beach at night under the stars.

I am in the process of cutting a short video together of the footage I took, and once I do I'll be sure to share! In the meantime, above are photos from my Diana camera!
