If drawings were photographs

When I was a teenager I was told that drawing from a photograph was cheating, but how about the other way around? This project by Tom Edwards and Rob Matthews where Matthews interpreted Edwards' drawings into photographs made me smile today. And by the way, I draw from photographs all the time ;)

Good thinking!

Ironing boards are ugly but necessary. I'm not the most frequent user of the iron, as a matter of fact, I think ironing is something that my generation, as oposed to my parents, very much stopped prioritizing. But, you still need to keep one in you home for special occasions, right? Therese Glimskär designed this space saving one that works double duty. First you iron, then you flip it to view the result of your hard work! Tadaa! I couldn't find any signs that this was put into production though and that's too bad, since I think it's a great example of really clever design that looks really good too!

Eskilstuna is looking good

This is such a great place. And it's also for sale, so if you feel that Eskilstuna in Sweden just might be the perfect spot in the world for you...

Move in with me!

I recently became aware of my soft spot for wooden, painted little sculptures like these or these And a couple of days ago Ellie over at Mint  posted some by artist Pepa Prieto. I suppose they are some sort of paraphrase to the Alexander Girard ones and I like the fact that they have sort of a human form to them, and that it's hard to tell whether they are little people or something else.

A couple of moons and one sun

I know that Easter is officially over but eggs never go out of style, right? My friend Jonas got this lamp made out of an ostrich egg from his grandmother. I was totally inspiered and now I have to find out where I can get a hold of an ostrich egg. It's not something you usually find in Danish supermarkets so I guess I have to hunt down an ostrich farmer or something. But isn't it great how this egg turns in to a tiny moon when gets dark? And talking about moons... My dear friend Monica, artist and musician based in Amsterdam, recently started to write and preform under the name Moon & Sun. Listen to her great music here or if you are lucky to live in a country where Spotify is available you can also find her there.
