Pravina Studio.

These purses and handbags from Pravina Studio have my name written all over them! Well not really, that would just be weird. I love the clean, modern lines and textiles Diana uses to create her one of a kind handmade bags. And being a museum curator herself, she definitely knows a thing or two about meticulous attention to detail.

For the Birds.

For the Birds might at first glance appear to be a kicky installation, but nope, they’re actual bird houses. A collaborative effort from San Francisco artists Luke Bartels and Jeff Canham combining craftsmanship and humor, this seedy pun intended village is comprised of eleven bird businesses such as The Condor Club Peep Show, Night Owls Bar and Pigeon Hole Motel. A little posh for the aviation nation in my neighborhood, but so clever. {via Kitsune Noir}
