busy brain.

Don’t know why I thought it was such a good idea to try to read a book a week again this year. I am quite behind on this goal. However, here is a list of what I have read so far, in case you are interested. (top two images are exerpts from Maira Kalman’s book, which is the best book I’ve read so far this year.)

Michael Pollan, The Botany of Desire
Alain de Botton, Status Anxiety

procrastinating through collage, as always.

“Light Breakfast,” made by David Sykes.

Oh the wonderful things people can do with post-its. If you happen to have 6000 post-its sitting around, I’d suggest you get busy, cause these guys are showing you up.

Read about it on black eiffel.

Picasso looks like he’s having so much fun here. Light drawings, as found on the Life website.

I don’t live in Paris, but that doesn’t mean I don’t LOVE this print of an original hand cut map of Paris! Found on Bodie and Fou.

Feel like telling me how I know you?

from a series called “Reincarnation” by Yulia Mouraviova.

don’t remember where i found this. i’ll try to remember. it’s from chelsea dirck’s flickr.

either way, it’s true.

i planted these a few weeks ago, and i am pretty sure they are already pissed off at me. why can’t i keep plants alive and healthy looking?

Saw this room on design*sponge a while back, and I can’t get it out of my brain. I would never be brave enough to paint a room in such dark colors (even the wood floor is painted dark grey!), since there is always that distinct possibility of it looking like a cave. That hilarious pink table, and the cool yellow accents around the room are perfect, though, and now I’m wishing I owned my own place so I could paint everything grey.

Always a good thing to remember. Made by Laura George.

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting anything for a while. I am working like mad to get things made for Renegade Craft Fair in July. I will make it up to you.

Shirt from Blood is the New Black.

i never get bored of balloons. found on a cup of jo.
