Happy Weekend (from Seattle)

PHOTO: Steve Shook

By the time you’re reading this I’ll be Seattle-bound for a little event I’ve been invited to attend. I’ve never been to the PNW before and am incredibly stoked. Not only to get to do a few awesome things I’d never be able to do otherwise, but also to meet up with some bloggers and my BFF from junior high during the two days I’ll be in town. This girl’s got a good life. On that note, I’m leaving you with an extremely fantastic/extended list of links you’ll want to be sure and click on.

01/  cute summer succulent garden you can mimic
02/  DIY wrap bracelets
03/  check out The Ultimate Hitch Cookbook
04/  the biggest Polaroid prints ever
05/  intricate laser lace tees + tops from Diana Eng
06/  a recipe for Butterbeer!
07/  I will never forget that I am awesome
08/ a candle made from a ball of waxed string
09/ the Decibel Audio Sound Frame gives your art a soundtrack
10/  you’ve never seen photos of flowers like these before
11/  summer water
12/  making this: leather beaded necklace
13/  a vertical turntable for your wall
14/  turn a men’s dress shirt into a skirt
15/  a travel mug coffee press!

Matthew Brandt

 

 

Lakes & Reservoirs is beautiful photography series by Matthew Brandt. The icing on the cake? Brandt uses water from the location where the photo was taken during the development process. The chemicals and minerals present are what give each photo its distinct colors and look.

Warren Krupshaw

Extremely macro photography has always fascinated me, actually anything that my own eyeball can’t see on its own fascinates me. Warren Krupshaw’s gem and mineral photography goes beyond that, it kills me. Not only does Krupshaw take these intricately beautiful shots of the pieces he collects, he also tell you how to do both for yourself. Now if that’s not generosity, I’m not sure what is. (via Besotted Brand Blog)

PS: Isn’t it funny how drawings of gems and minerals look more like photographs and photos more like drawings?
