triple totem kitty

wunderkammer

i just stumbled across this wonderful blog: wunderkammer is a reconsideration of a "cabinet of curiosities:" crocheted specimens from early natural history collections and embroidered fictive science textbook illustrations

unglazed ceramic objects

these mesh perfectly with my obsession with sea creatures. see more here.

seseli gummiferum

i recently finished a quilt for a friend's baby based on Karl Blossfeldt's "Natural Art Forms". it was a relatively quick project, only about 6 or 8 days total, since there was no applique. i think it turned out really nice, though.
(seseli gummiferum is the scientific name for moon carrot, whatever that is... anyway, it's the darling plant that the quilt is based on).

amazing felt + crochet necklaces

i was checking out modish, a favorite blog of mine, and came across these cool necklaces by kjoo.

rugs update

a while ago, i wrote that i was looking for rugs for my apartment. well, i found them on ebay. it's a great place for rugs if you're willing to buy based on pictures. the prices are great - $150 for the larger one, $60 for the runner.
