Sound Of Design

Via Boing Boing: Sound Of Design redesigned album covers in a beautiful flat minimalist style. "...feels like a lovely melding of 1960s Penguin Books minimalism with a bit of 8-bit sensibility."







All 21 albums can be seen on their Flickr page.

Pinhole Camera




"This one of a kind handmade pinhole camera is crafted from a reclaimed, spray painted iPhone box. It is designed to take standard 35mm film just like a normal camera. It has a built in advance reel as well as rewind reel. This enable you to shoot a picture, advance to the next frame, use the entire roll of film, rewind it back into the canister and take it to the drug store for processing!"

From Etsy user Engrained, a cool pinhole camera made from an iPhone box. $80.

Canon Rebel T1i



I finally bought a new digital camera after having a point and shoot for many years. It's a wonderful Canon Rebel T1i and I still don't know how to use it. Reading the manual isn't very fun but I'll do it.

The picture is of my sister, the shirt I bought her, and the large cup holder sized pockets she found. Look forward to my new professional photographs!

Hand Made Shoes



Don't you NEED these shoes? They are hand made from etsy seller spirocreations. The only reason I haven't bought them is because they are $225. Very expensive, but they would be my favorite shoes...

Design*Sponge

I read Design*Sponge just about every day. There are plenty of reasons to love this blog, but especially for the Before and After projects.

One from today totally caught my eye:






If I ever have a furniture project I'll need to figure out this distressed paint look.

Mary Blair

I was reading A Beautiful Mess earlier and she posted some images from Mary Blair. Aha! Her illustrations were so recognizable to me but I never knew her name. She has a beautiful children's style, formed from her career with Disney.

She was a pioneer in creative color styling (it's hard to imagine a time like this!) and a trailblazer for women in the male-dominated art world. Mary did lots of work outside of Disney, some of which is lesser known, but is all amazing.
