Entomology Illustrations

I’ve never been one of those girls who’s afraid of bugs. I could just alway think of other more terrifying things (like snakes), or better yet make them up myself. Vladimir Stankovic’s Entomology illustrations aren’t your typical scientific drawings, but that’s exactly what’s so perfect about them. A little bit of reality mixed with a dose of imagination.

Wallbanger

Wallbanger is a shining piece of awesome. Meant to house a small bar for outdoor entertaining, I think it would be equally at home in my entryway for easy access after a hard day’s work. (via Design Milk)

The Reproductive Cycle of the Chicken

Talk about post titles I never saw coming! And also talk about how anything can be both informative and beautiful when given the right treatment. The Reproductive Cycle of the Chicken OR Why You Don’t Need a Rooster to Make An Egg is the first in a series of science posters from Switcheroo. (Are you confused? Cause I am.)

Completely charmed by these Victorian tattooed paper puppets from Crankbunny. I’d love to send a few to my fellow tattooed pals or create a garland – dancing ladies for days!

Paper Origami Shades

Intricate geometric paper lampshades from Studio Snowpuppe are the perfect mix of modern meets old school technique. This one has my bedroom’s name (?) written all over it. (via hooray)

The Chicago Neighborhoods

The Chicago Neighborhoods project is designer Steve Shanabruch’s take on the city he loves. As he says, “a neighborhood with a logo is better than a neighborhood without.” Shanabruch will be posting a new black and white design every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until all 77 community areas and some of the more well-known neighborhoods are represented. (Can’t wait to see Wicker Park, my haunting grounds for a bit in the early oughts!)

Bread Spoons

These bread spoons from Niels Datema are only a concept, but they have massive amounts of potential. Who doesn’t love fresh bread? I, for one, am a little too intimidated to try baking it myself. The idea behind these spoons might help with that, just fill each one with the ingredient it’s labeled after then knead. Kinda of brilliant, yes?
