Earth.
I can hardly wait to see this. Animals are the best (especially baby animals). And this film looks absolutely amazing. It opens today. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, check it out.

Petter Hanberger.
If you get a chance definitely check out the portfolio of Petter Hanberger. He’s pretty much the definition of creative – the breadth of his work is amazing. These two are my favorite projects on his site.
67 pieces of artwork. All handfolded, packaged signed and numbered by hand. I hope they will give the tea and its bag a new meaning for me and anyone else who gets one.
Petite France is bakery/pastry/lunch cafe at Kungsholmen in Stockholm. They are well known in the neighborhood for high quality and a genuine passion for pastries. We found the word “meet” relevant to resume Petite France; the dough meets the baker, the costumer meets the cafe, the bread meets the costumer, France meets Sweden etc. The result was a number of patterns meeting in a Petite France patchwork. Collaboration with Zorica Radovic.

Bryan Nash Gill’s Relief Prints.
The relief prints of Bryan Nash Gill have made their rounds as of late, but I couldn’t not share on the off chance you hadn’t seen them yet. They’re just that good. Bryan uses a relief and rubbing technique to create these stunning cross-sections of trees. This particular print is Hemlock-82 and the actual size is a gargantuan 52 x 38.5″.

Nice to be Nice.
It really is nice to be nice. Especially when it comes down to that whole karma thing.

Round Dice.
I’m intrigued by these awesome round dice. A mini-weight makes sure only one number sits on top when they’re rolled. So pretty.

Table Tap.
Can you imagine having a Table Tap sitting out to serve water at your next dinner party? Inspired by science (natch) and so much fun.

Thomas Forsyth’s Drawing Tops.
Love the idea behind this project – it reminds me of my childhood. With a much more aesthetic end result!
A spinning-top, that uses a pen as the spindle, represents many of the core ideas behind my current work. It is recognisable, un-intimidating, and invites people to interact with objects that can lead to unpredictable results, or an emergent property. Simply through indulging in the enjoyable process of spinning the top a bi-product is created. Where the pen marks the surface, a beautiful map of the experience and events that have occurred is produced. I am able to draw, but I am not particularly talented at it and yet found that, through the interaction with these objects, I have created drawings that I am more proud of than any I have done before.
And now you can buy your own Drawing Top at Thomas Forsyth’s etsy shop! Get spinning.
