Henrietta Swift is an illustration student at Brighton University, and is building up a nice body of work. I really like these Letter Envelopes – a playful interpretation of the traditional security envelope. Each envelope takes on a letter of the alphabet.

Fractal Cubes_2 by Alessandro Capozzo is built with Processing. Alessandro uses the coding language to create some beautiful installation pieces that marry the handmade with hi-tech without either being out of place.

New tableware from Vitamin – I love how the geometric design and how it creeps onto the plate.

Klaus Thymann’s book “Hybrids” explores incongruous themes – including (among others) gay rodeo, underground garden, artificial beach, and religious theme park. The photographs are of The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida. The juxtaposition of the scene from the crucifixion and the tourists checking their photos raises a number of emotions. I’m not quite sure what to think of the park. Where is the line between evangelism/ministry and entertainment? Should there be a line at all?

I like the fluid lines and the openness of Neil M. Denari’s renovation of the Alan-Voo House, which was extended by 1000 sq. ft.

Via Notcot.

Julien’s light calligraphy is simply beautiful. The contrast of the fluidity of movement and the implied control necessary to control the light source is very inspiring. I especially like the image on the left, which shifts out of the two-dimensional and creates a radial space for the writing.

Andrea Heimer emailed us about her most recent project, Coveted. I love the simple, clean line drawings and the small bits of color in each print. Check out a great interview with her here.

Gorgeous, gorgeous ceramic art by Caroline Slotte made out of found objects. The artist’s statement:

“In my current work I use found objects as a starting point for conceptual works in ceramics. Old objects, such as photographs, pieces of clothing or ceramics, have a way of directing our gaze to the past. They are symbols of the life stories of those who used them. From their markers I construct new stories. Memories play a pivotal role in defining who we are, as humans. In my work I wish to indicate the presence of time passed, in the human mind as well as in the objects that surround us. By giving the mute object a voice, I imbue mass produced items with a narrative capacity.”

UPDATE: I think everything is back to normal, but if you come across anything funky, please let me know! Thanks!

Guys! I apologize for the crappy blog appearance this morning. It seems that somehow our CSS styles got messed up, though I don’t have a clue why since I didn’t change anything between today or yesterday. Please bear with us as we figure this out!

smallthings announced the launch of their amazing new line of jewelry, stone&honey. Each piece is one of a kind and combines Brazilian agate with a delicate geometric design.
