Urban Geodes

You can go ahead and file Paige Smith’s urban geodes project under Things I Wish I’d Thought of First. Paige has been installing these metallic paper structures that mimic mineral formations in spaces in buildings and holes in pipes all around Los Angeles. The joy lies in their unexpectedness and the fact that they might be easily missed. Check out Paige’s map of their locations (12 so far) and hunt for them on your own! (via Got a Girl Crush)

Fresh Flowers

Fresh Flowers is one of the best things I’ve seen recently. Love flowers, but hate watching them wilt and die? This is for you. Designed by Sandra Bautista, this super smart project consists of 32 pages with printed flowers in a newspaper format that can be rolled up and placed in a vase. When you get tired of one variety just switch ’em out! (via bltd)
