Stun
ning design by Gry Fager for Normann Copenhagen. I think about these beauties every day - slightly obsessed.
pinched from every good blog out there.

ed ruscha.





Pretty rad time line documenting the works of Ed Ruscha from 1958 up until 1992. A good reminder to document everything. If you happen to be in London visit the Hayward Gallery for a major retrospective.
The missing section inspires me. I often goodwill my art in hopes that it will find life elsewhere.

zirkeltraining.







Never quite made it to the Olympics? Relive your childhood glory days of doing flips off the sofa and cartwheels around the living room with these bags and accessories made from 1950's German gymnastics mats. via notcot.

I'm a sucker for smart logos - where you look and look, and then suddenly have that "aha" moment. Source.

arietta specimen book.






Looking through this process and specimen book sent me back to my days of letterform and typography classes in design school. Once you know how much work goes into creating every single letter, the appreciation for beautiful typography (like Arietta) increases exponentially.

shoe diary.





Lately I'm loving (and wanting to shop for) shoes more than ever. Elle's shoe diary blog, which features footwear of Elle employees, is fun to look through.

paper sunbursts.





When I went to help Christina set up for the Blissfest blogger's lounge, I kept admiring the sunbursts she made with rolled up pages ripped out of an old dictionary and auto convex mirrors. Aren't they cute? They'd make a great DIY project for Christmas decor.

roxy marj.





I've been enjoying Eva's (of Sycamore Street Press) guest blogging over at Black*Eiffel this week, and especially loved the introduction to Roxy Marj.

Roxy is a graduate of Parsons and makes really awesome things.

chilli con queso.



A recipe made entirely from paper and cardboard - rad. Patience + craft. This chicas portfolio is definitely worth a looky-loo.
