After launching the Calligraphy Necklace in November of last year, calligrapher Crystal Kluge and I wanted to come out with some ready-to-wear designs. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, the Endearments necklaces seemed like the natural next step, allowing you to memorialize the endearment you’ve given to your favorite person. Now they can keep the love token close to their heart in the form of a sweet, hand-calligraphed necklace. Current designs include Love, Sweetheart, Babe, and Honey. We’ll be adding more endearments later, so suggestions are welcome!

I’ll take the Sincol x MT wall tapes over pre-cut wall decals. These rice paper based wall/masking tapes are far more flexible – you can play with diy graphics, shapes, patterns – start layering and take advantage of its translucency. They come in various widths, colors, and patterns. Plus, how cool is it that all MT tapes are rice paper based?

Very cool scientific illustration plates from the NYPL Digital Archive for Classic Illustrated Zoologies and Related Works, 1550-1900.

The A Tempo Stool reminds me of the face of an old table fan.

New print release! We’re happy to welcome Estibaliz Hernández de Miguel back to The Working Proof with her latest print, Shuffle Back in Line. The print was inspired by a Decemberists’ song, Rox in the Box, that was featured in a video shot by Juan Rayos, Carving the Mountains. The lyrics “…and you shuffle back in line” got into Esti’s head, and evolved into the image of several women standing in line, women who had probably forgotten where they were heading in the first place. Some are lost, while others are leading the line.

15% of each print sold will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. Read our interview with Esti here, and buy the print here.

One of the coolest keychains I have seen in a while – The Pinned Key Chain by Nixon is an oversized safety pin inspired keychain that doubles as a bottle opener. I like the little icons on the face.

How beautiful are these concrete products by Forsberg Form? Forsberg Form uses concrete to cast thin forms that appear light, considering their material!

I swear Lakai has made more than 3 Brandon Biebel models, but maybe not. They look pretty svelte. I wish they would make a brown and tan version, like the old Soca’s.

This is a fun and unexpected way to display your jewelry – the Shadow, by Milk Design. I think it would be fun to have a bunch of different silhouetted figures on a wall to hold your jewelry…
