Floating Bedroom + Clever Home Studio Design - wave avenue

This former artist’s studio, has been transformed to a clever home design. With an area of 50 squares meters, every space has been used up effectively. The main feature being the suspended bedroom, the heart of the entire place, like a floating island. Easily becomes the subject of curiosity and great conversation piece. The boxed bedroom is raised by half a meter from the second level, gently detaching it from the dining area in front. [via flodeau.com, ECDM] Wanderlust: GOOD traces the most famous trips in history.

Beyond Drawing: Creative Colored Pencil Art & Sculpture & Dornob. From a very first look at these wonderfully detailed colored pencil sculptures by Jennifer Maestre, it should come as no surprise that her artwork was initially inspired by spiny sea urchins – beautiful be dangerous to the touch.

For each sculpture, Jennifer hacks apart hundreds of colored pencils, cores them perpendicular to their length and turns them into beads, essentially, which she then meticulously stitches back together and slowly shapes into solid sculptures. Though her beginnings were with creatures of the water, Jennifer quickly expanded her subject matter to cover other organic objects – from plants and flowers to house pets and more abstract animals. While some of her work has a planned form from the very beginning, other pieces morph and shift as they take shape into something completely unplanned but nonetheless compelling.

Colossal - StumbleUpon

Apparently in several wooded areas around the UK, passersby have been stopping for decades (if not centuries), meticulously hammering small denomination coins intro trees. Most of the trees seem to be in and around Cumbria and Portmeirion, and I didn’t find a single example of a tree like this located outside the UK. According to this recent article by the BBC, the practice might date back to the early 1700s in Scotland where ill people stuck florins into trees with the idea that the tree would take away their sickness. The practice seems akin to love padlocks or Americans collaborative effort of sticking their nasty ass gum all over everything.

ZOMBIE PORTRAIT a drawing of a drawing of a drawing... - StumbleUpon. Coin-Covered Wishing Trees in Portmeirion, Britain. Sticking hundreds of small denomination coins into tree trunks is apparently a popular way of getting rid of illnesses.

Coin-Covered Wishing Trees in Portmeirion, Britain

At least that’s what the staff at a holiday attraction in Gwynedd discovered after investigating the story behind several coin-covered tree trunks in the vicinity of Italianate village Portmeirion. The first tree was cut down four years ago, in order to widen the path to the picturesque settlement founded in 1925, and within only a few months it was covered with 2p coins. Now there are seven such tree trunks in the area, so estate manager Meurig Jones started an investigation to uncover the origins of this unusual habit. Photo credits She managed to track down coin-covered trees back to the 1700s, when they were apparently used as wishing trees.

Washington-based painter Tyree Callahan modified a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter, replacing the letters and keys with color pads and hued labels to create a functional “painting” device called the Chromatic Typewriter.

Callahan submitted the beautiful typewriter as part of the 2012 West Prize competition, an annual art prize that’s determined by popular vote.
