We have so many great non-wedding photos from our two weeks down in Georgia, that I feel like if we don’t post some of them, they’ll be filed into one of our many virtual folders never to be seen again. Round #1.
Surprised to learn that Wes had a previous modeling career in the chicken industry?
Disappointed not to see any children moving in slow motion
Still trying to figure out what the hell these giant tires could be used for
A sign outside a small antique store & straight to the point
My brother thought this may translate to ‘git-R-done’
Even the electrical boxes are friendly down south!
Comedians, please steer clear of this airport
These paper sculptures by Richard Sweeney really blew me away. Cut, folded, and constructed from paper, I can’t begin to imagine the precision and thought that goes into each one of these.
From the artist: “Any form imaginable can be rendered through drawing, but when modelling in paper, an object has to be physically shaped. When faced with a flat sheet of material, there is no obvious indication of how it can be manipulated into a three dimensional object. The limitations of paper as a form making material offer a challenge, which through playful investigation results in tangible models.”
Silversmith, Victoria Delany, designed these set of candlesticks in silver and lacquered wood. The central wooden parts are interchangeable making an endless number of interesting and colourful combinations as well as allowing you to make them as tall or short as you would like.
A bike shop in Altlandsberg, Germany chose to create a wall of bikes in lieu of a sign, which makes for a pretty stunning sight! I would love to see how many were stolen over night if they tried this in NYC.
Sorry things have been kind of slow around here the last few weeks, we’ve been really busy working nonstop annoying each other.. aka: fine-tuning our wedding details. But, only a week and 1/2 until hitchin’ time!
Anyway, these miniature sculptures by Dalton Ghetti, made on the tips of pencils, are pretty incredible! He uses a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand, and a crazy amount of patience to create these tiny works. Wow.
I thought this was a pencil drawing at first glace, but it’s actually a wire sculpture created by Shi Jindian of a Changjiang 750 (which is a knockoff of the Russian military M72-M). Apparently he painstakingly wraps wire mesh around a 3D object then carefully removes/destroys the object, leaving the exoskeleton.
Sometimes I come across certain things that truly make me feel like I’m the last to know. Case and point: The Chand Baori Stepwell. No idea how this one slipped by me..
Located near the Harshat Mata Temple, it’s one of the largest (and deepest) step wells in India, although it more closely resembles and MC Escher drawing. It was built in the 9th century and has 3500 narrow steps that go down 13 stories. AMAZING!
I ran across this post this morning and thought it was pretty interesting.. the map below measures the distance to the nearest domestic McDonald’s in the US. I like a convenient sausage egg & cheese biscuit more than I’d care to admit, but this is still pretty crazy. I guess it’s good to know that you’re only walking distance to a dollar menu if you’re ever lost in the Mojave Desert..
Holy hell, my eyeballs just fell out of my head! These drawings by Marissa Textor are incredible. I’m not 100% sure what her technique is, but she should guard it with her life.. or I may just try and steal it.
I kind of like this chair because it appeals to my very inner minimalist (I swear it’s in there somewhere!) and my slightly outer pack-rat.. Created by Stephan Schultz, this wire frame chair can be recreated into whatever the homeowner would like it to be. I personally would love to add wooden planks to it, transforming it into a jungle gym for my lazy cat who needs to loose a few pounds.
These are incredible! Located in Harads, Sweden the ‘tree hotel‘ currently consisting of four rooms: The Cabin, The Blue Cone, The Nest and The Mirrorcube (my favorite!), and is set to open this weekend.

I want to die, die, dye my hair black. Or so the saying went when I was in high school. It looks like everyone took note with Alexander Wang’s Fall 2010 goth-inspired collection!
I have to say, when I looked through Topshop’s Fall 2010 ‘Dark Nouveau’ Lookbook, I yawned a bit at the ripped sweaters, fishnets, and studded, well, everything. What I did love were the embroidered mesh tops and this lacey, floral head piece-hat thing. Click for larger image.
With the printing all complete, it was time to move on to the cutting, folding packing and sending..
