Attractively Labeled Tea


I don't drink tea, I'm more of a coffee gal, but if I did it would be Dr. Stuart's extraordinarily good teas. I am such a sucker for these lovely labels.

Crazy Pencil Art by Jennifer Maestre


These fun and frankly down right creative sculptures are made out of colorful pointy pencils. The artist, Jennifer Maestre, got her inspiration from none other than the spiny sea urchin. To make them she takes hundreds of pencils, cuts them into 1-inch sections, drills a hole in each section to turn them into beads, sharpens them all and then sews them together. The finished product is some wildly prickly sculptures influenced by nature.
You can even own your very own modest spiky urchin sculpture. Just visit her over in her etsy shop.

Illustrations from Screech Owl Design





I have conquered my finals. But, unfortunately and inevitably, in the process of overpowering my evil exams, I have had a total brain melt down. I can't seem to function correctly and bright colors hurt my eyes which seem to have become Gollum sized orbs from studying in the wee hours of the dark solely by the light of a desk lamp. So these nice, color muted illustrations from screech owl design are just what my sensitized corneas need. Have a good weekend everybody. I'm going to go sleep forever.

Crayon Sculptures (Repost from Miss Jane)

OK. Before I go into detail about this fabulous Artist and her work I have to give credit where credit is due. So a big THANK YOU! goes out to Sara Christine over at Miss Jane. She blogged about these guys a couple weeks ago and I got really excited and just had to repost them here.
These tiny and colorful crayon sculptures are from Diem Chau. Crayons have always been my favorite coloring method so I totally flipped when I saw these. Check out the detail on these guys. I love how she keeps part of the crayon wrapper on. It adds a bit of whimsy to each piece.

Creative. Novel. Supreme.
