Saw these at Play Mountain a store in Japan
They are made by Caleb Siemon and are from a previous collection
Excellent choice by Play Mountain I have to say

oh....and I'm taking part in the hoping for happy accidents {small} books swap and my swap partner is IRINA from Milchmädchen....we haven't met yet , but that will happen soon...

Milchmädchen means something like : Girl who serves milk
which is called melkmeisje in Dutch , it's also the name of this painting

Enjoy what ever you're doing....and I'll see you next week :)

/ ¦)

once in a while...

this thing happens , which is called a shopping spree...
often in places you visit for the first time and where everything is
at affordable prices
So I also 'bought' ....

- this bag
-these bowls
- a flower pin
- and this just because it looks cool
- white mesh bag

Phhhhh.......thanks to hoping for happy accidents

This is awfully tiny....I'm sorry
but it still looks very appealing
by textile artist Pasi Välimaa


My hand dye has finally arrived from Birmingham...
and in relation to something else i'm working on : this looks like a great book

shown by Nuria at Inkthread letterpress studio

Gorgeous isn't it....maybe one of you knows who made these
The only thing I know is that I cut it out from an elle decoration U.K.
a couple of years ago

Had to think of this picture from Debra/Culiblog shown on Beton&Garten

I'll admit it right away.... the coat isn't exactly flattering to the body but I have this love for
costumes.I changed the color a bit...
(available in the U.K U.S.A and Australia at TOPSHOP)


The spoons are made by Ivan Kasner also part of this collective

He was looking for ways to let a product last for centuries or at least a lifetime
....hmmm how to explain this : if a forest gets buried under lava , the wood gets burned but at the same time preserved , it will not rot... it turns into a stony matter.
Ivan mimiced this process but it took him just a couple of weeks...

Love this journal by hachii

Remember this add I showed you back in February ...
Well...here's another one
Hit the pause button first...wait till it's loaded and then press play
if that doesn't work...here's the small version

Advertising Agency : Fallon London
Director : Nicolai Fuglsig
Art Director : Juan Cabral
Music : José González

I'm naming them all because they did a wonderful job....sometimes an add is a great excuse to make a beautiful very short film...

Googling around I came across this piece of art by Olafur Eliasson
found it on BLDG a blog about architecture

It's a light sculpture that is constantly moving and changing
here you can see more pictures.... it's called Remagine (2002)
I would love to see that moving...

on the weekend I watched a bit of the Glastonbury festival and saw
the Arctic Monkey's for the first time....they looked like they were only 17
but they turned out to be 21 already. Anyway ... a great performance

Eva Sofia Hagström just graduated at Denmark design school's textile department
I am really taken with her project , it's called reflections because she tried to reflect the outside
surface of the building in her textile design.
I like the way she was thinking not only as a textile designer but also like an architect

Here you can also see all the other graduates.
