Burning Man :: Welcome Home DIY > COLOURFUL SWING Header 1) Wooden chip plank2) Rope3) Fabric in different colours. When I had the idea in my head it all seemed so difficult. I had too many questions. But when I actually told myself "Ok, let's do it!", it did not appear to be a rocket science at all! Drill two holes, approximately 4 cm from each edge. Hang your swing on the tree and start decorating the ropes by simply tying the fabric strips. And that's it! The swing has been tested by me personally and it's safe! Chilli wants some attention, too! Tags: diy, party decor 8 comments: Monique6/12/2012kaip gražu! Load more... Links to this post Create a Link Newer PostOlder PostHome
iGNANT The Maracanã House by Brazilian Terra e Tuma Arquitetos created this concrete, contemporary city house in São Paulo, Maracanã street. Huge block walls were composed around exterior and interior spaces, with a vibrant access mural, grayish materiality and clear glass surfaces. Entering the house, one staircase leads to the sunken living room and kitchen with green courtyard, while the upper one opens up to intimate spaces. The architects managed to let this clean concrete appearance look cosy, warm and natural, with green plants growing everywhere. The big glass openings set against the solidity of the concrete materiality and canny installed lights enlighten the space in every direction. All images © Terra e Tuma Arquitetos | Via: dezeen
ateacomp | Asociación Argentina de Teatro Comparado How to Make Stepping Stones - with a Cake Pan Posted on May 30, 2012 by Christina You don’t need a fancy schmancy mold to make garden stepping stones; all you need is a non-stick cake pan! And you won’t even ruin the pan! I stumbled on a new – and EASIER way to make mosaic stepping stones; it’s called the indirect method and it involves contact paper. I think these would make awesome favors or gifts for a garden wedding. You will need: Round non-stick cake pan (You could also use a heart-shaped pan)VaselineContact paperOld plates or saucers that you don’t need (I got mine at the thrift store)Glass gemssea glass (optional)concretemarine varnishMosaic Glass Cutter (Optional. Put your safety glasses on. Repeat until you have all the pieces you need. Place your cake pan on your contact paper, and trace around it. Cut out the contact paper circle. Carefully lift the piece of contact paper and view your design. If you are happy with your design, place the design back into the pan with the sticky side up. Let sit for two days. That’s it!

Los Murales de LOTO | La Grulla de Hermes Gracias a los muros y las ciudades que los contienen Por: Jué Karollys (Loto) Cuál sería la pregunta más adecuada para hacerle a un artista. Más precisamente, a uno que se dedique a pintar paredes en la calle, y más precisamente, que esa pregunta, sea sólo una… ¿Qué significa para ti el arte? pero si tuviese que responder el artista a ella, elegiría, de su repertorio de convicciones, en lo más profundo de su biblioteca mental, las palabras que siempre dijo su maestro de dibujo: ” el arte está más allá de nosotros, es difícil definirlo, es más honesto vivirlo…”, sí, creo que eso diría el artista. Pero dado que la pregunta no apunta específicamente al oficio de éste artista como tal, creo que la más indicada para éste caso sería: ¿qué significa pintar para ti una pared en la calle?
Baileys Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream Happy March to everyone! I cannot believe it's already March! I feel like I say this continuously throughout the year, but I always mean it. While it's technically not "ice cream season" yet (whatever that means, I don't know; I feel that ice cream is a treat that should be enjoyed all year round regardless of the outdoor temperature and the number of layers you're wearing), I have an ice cream to share with you today. I've never really been one to do anything special for St. I really feel like this is the best ice cream I've made to date; it was just so good. Baileys Chocolate Chunk Ice Creamadapted slightly from Cooking On the SideIngredients6 egg yolks4 oz granulated sugar18 oz milk1/2 vanilla bean, split1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract1/4 cup heavy cream1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream1/2 cup chocolate chunksDirectionsCombine the eggs with 1 oz of the sugar in a large bowl, and whisk together until the eggs are well beaten.
Los primeros dias de Banksy en NY Hace unos días se anunció que Banksy haría una residencia artística en Nueva York. Después de meses de ausencia, el graffitero inglés regresa con "Better Out Than In" mostrando una obra diaria durante el mes de octubre. Aquí les mostramos las obras más relevantes que hasta el día de hoy se han dado a conocer: Con esta primera pieza, Banksy comenzó su nueva "exposición" en las calles de Manhattan. El problema de ser Banksy y de trabajar en NY, es que nunca serás bien recibido por los graffiteros locales. Así lucía la pieza a unas cuantas horas de darse a conocer. La segunda pieza no estuvo en las calles. Una buena pieza haciendo referencia al amor y todas las heridas que éste puede causar. Pero para Omar, graffitero local, la pieza no estaba completa. En la puerta de una fábrica de Greenpoint, al norte de Brooklyn apareció esto. En un terreno de Lower East Side apareció esto. Después apareció este tierno castor quien derrumbó un poste en East New York.
DIY Pebble Mat Just finished this mat to go with my Bathroom Redo. It has a peculiar providence, I was mooching around the CB2 website, doing a little window shopping and I spotted this fellow for $39.95 Me: 'Hey, I had that idea too!' I just didn't get around to doing it!" My Sweetie: "So you're saying they stole your idea from inside your head?" Me, kinda indignant: "YEAH" Him: "Would you like me to make you a tinfoil hat?" Crazy aside, here's how I made the mat. I used: 1 rubber Welcome mat4 bags of river rockssome contact adhesive All from the Dollar store. I smooshed down the glue then arranged the rocks. The only difficult part for me was to not try and arrange the rocks too much, I didn't want straight lines or uniform colour, but it's hard to let go of the whole symmetry thing. I haven't had any problems with slipperiness... yet. Tagged : bathmat, diy_version, CB2, bathroom, Cheap-

Wall Decor: wooden LOVE sign Finally…….it’s baby Chloe’s turn (who’s not really a baby anymore…{sigh}) to have a little color added to her beige walls. We’re “professional” renters it seems, so we always have to work around the color of walls that we’re given. I saw this really cute wall hanging online (and pinned it, of course) but realized that not only was the price too high ($200 bucks? really?!?!) So I made one for her room. I used some bead board from the hardware store and some large wooden letters. You could make this any size, really…….but I love how big this one turned out (30 x 32 inches). Nice and solid and adorable. And I also love showing those over-priced items who’s boss! Would you like to see how I made mine? You may already understand how this is put together……..but here’s my process: First, I purchased some 12 inch tall letters at Hobby Lobby. Then, I purchased a sheet of bead board at Lowe’s. After the letters and bead board both dried, I hot glued the letters down. And that’s it. Ready to be hung.
